The blogger collaboration is finally back!  I’m SO thrilled to be teaming up with Amanda of Little Miss Fearless, Lynzy of Sparkling Footsteps and Caitlin of A Little Dash of Darling to show you four different ways to wear spring trends.  Today, we’re kicking it off with how to mix neon and pastels!

With spring in full swing and summer just around the corner, neon will be in heavy rotation.  Don’t worry, the ultra-saturated hues are much more wearable than you think.  You can pair neons with neutrals to play it safe or pile neons on neons to go all out.  But if you’re looking to shake things up, try mixing neons and pastels for a look that’s both colorful and balanced.

I paired chartreuse with mint and quite possibly discovered my new favorite color combo of the season!  Check out how Amanda, Lynzy and Caitlin mixed neon and pastels and let me know what you think of the trend!

This weekend, Tracy and I ventured down to Prospect Park for a major change of scenery.  And while Central Park makes for a quick escape from the urban life, this Brooklyn gem feels like a completely different continent.  Wide open lawns, tree-covered paths, and far less tourists — it’s a trek definitely work making.

stripes on stripes.

I’m usually all about my mixed prints, but today, I decided to pile on a single print: stripes.  The fundamentals are the same: make sure that the prints are similar in color (here, navy and white) and proportion.  It’s a fresh take on one of my favorite ways to dress up prints — a little more streamlined, but still just as fun.  What do you think of the stripes on stripes action?
