BlOOMING FLOWERS…AND LOVE.

Just the other day, I created this blog draft with the headline of Blooming Flowers.  I was set to write about a beautiful bouquet of flowers I had received. There were two bouquets of blooming lilies that transfixed me every day just by watching bloom. But, after watching the 72nd Golden Globes Award on NBC last night, and with George Clooney’s speech, it came to me that blooming flowers are, in essence, Love. Seeing George Clooney, at age 53, finally find love is a wonderful thing. With his wife, Amal, in the audience, she was clearly smitten when he looked to her and said:

“Listen, it’s humbling to find somebody to love, especially when you’ve been waiting your whole life, especially when your whole life is 53 years. “Amal, whatever alchemy brought us together, I couldn’t be more proud to be your husband.”

That is a blooming flower. That, is Love. Love, blooming, growing and ever so sweet. To have love in our lives is the greatest gift of all.

Love,
Rose

Oscar de la Renta…

Oscar de la Renta, the most iconic fashion designer in the world, was mourned and remembered today in New York City.  The funeral was held today in the beautiful Upper East Side, St. Ignatius Loyola Church. Family, friends and celebrities were all in attendance to say their good-byes.

Most recently, Oscar de la Renta designed the wedding gown of Amal Alamuddin, now known as Mrs. Amal Clooney.

What I loved most is what Oscar de la Renta said when designing her gown, “It’s the most important dress in the life of a woman”. “Any girl from any walk of life dreams of that special dress, and I try to make that dream a reality for her.

Oscar de la Renta, a Lovely fashion designer, will be missed tremendously.

Love,
Rose
