print mixology.

October 11, 2012

After yesterday’s blog post, I’m still in the mood to mix prints!  Today, I paired six patterned pieces with each other for looks that range from playful and feminine to outright bold.  Mixing prints can be a little tricky, but it’s definitely not rocket science.

If you’re just getting started, try mixing a classic striped shirt with a more playful pattern.  If you’re feeling more daring, test out the latter two options for a look that’s sure to turn heads.

1. Banana Republic Striped Button-Back Tee — $39.50
2. ModCloth Sail We Dance Skirt — $87.99
3. ModCloth See You Round Skirt — $42.99
4. J.Crew Jacquard Dot Popover — $88
5. Forever 21 Ikat Print Button Up — $17.80
6. Topshop Crazy Ikat Print Bodycon Skirt — $32

what to wear: fall weddings.

October 9, 2012

This year, I went to three weddings in three different seasons: spring, summer, and fall (do winter weddings even exist?).  I loved attending and dressing up for each one for different reasons, but fall weddings call for a look that’s a little more demure than its spring/summer counterparts.  Classic cuts, adorable accessories, and sophisticated styling is the way I prefer to dress for a fall wedding.  How about you?

1. Dorothy Perkins Pearl Collar Dress — $69
2. ASOS Metal Bar Croc Clutch — $31.66
3. Topshop Stud Bow Belt — $16
4. Kate Spade All Wrapped Up Pearl Bracelet — $98

monthly musts: october 2012.

October 2, 2012

I didn’t even realize it was October until yesterday was nearly over.  So to ring in the new month, I’m starting a new segment called Monthly Musts — a roundup of essential items to get you through the next page of your wall calendar.

For October, I’m coveting pieces that are rich in color and texture.  Fall is a lot colder than my little Arizonan mind imagined so I’ll be stocking up on light and thick-knit sweaters, printed pants, and cozy boots.

1. BaubleBar Bauble Bib — $36
2. Loeffler Randall Rain Boots — $150
3. Essie Fall Nail Polish Collection — $17
4. Topshop Camo Print Skinny Jeans — $80
5. Apt. 9 Snakeskin Collar Necklace — $18.20
6. Kate Spade Chambers Street Carlyle Bag — $358
7. J.Crew Tippi Sweater — $59.50 (on sale!)
