The fashion and interior design world is a buzz right now with insects and this trend is bugging me!

From rings and purses to wallpaper and fabrics, these little creatures are popping up everywhere! Most of the bug designs can be a bit kitschy, but there are still fun yet tasteful ways to follow this look even if you are an insect-phobe just like me. 

Simply marry classic colors and patterns with an unexpectedly elegant twist.

A great example of this style are these sandals by Sophia Webster. The design of the shoe is so timeless that you barely notice the fluttering butterfly on the back.

I also love this black and white wallpaper by Vivienne Westwood for Cole & Son. The wild flowers and the creepy crawlers are so naturally intertwined that they are barely noticeable on the wallpaper print.

PS, I’d love to flutter around in these little buggers… Size 39, please!
