What goes around comes around...

If the image on the right is anything to go by the upcoming Sex and the City movie will contain a healthy dose of Carrie's signature season 3 accessory, the oversized flower. Which, let's face it, means they will (once again) be hitting highstreets near you in the not-too-distant future. If you want to try a floral tribute but are anxious to avoid any saccharine overtones, check out Citizen's Ballistic Rose brooch. Made from black, heavy-duty Kevlar (yes, the bulletproof vest material) it's the rose and the thorn combined. And just in case you think it's a little lacking in romance consider that according to the language of flowers of the Victorian era the black rose symbolizes 'slavish devotion'...since a true black rose is impossible to produce.
