Summer Trend: Mix And Match

Another one of my favorite summer '17 trends is all things Mix And Match!  Prints, fabrics, shapes, textures.  'Tension' is the word I often use to describe throwing in a little something off the obvious path in order to create interest in an outfit.  Shop the below Mix and Match print pieces to add a touch of one of the season's hottest trends to your wardrobe...

Want to all out maximize interest? Turn that touch of tension into head to toe Mix and Match. Judging from my Outfits of the Day and editorial styling it is no secret this is one style of dress of which I feel you can never get enough...

Shop some of my favorite Mix and Match items for summer, many of which are now on MEGA SALE.  

I just snagged my new FAVORITE "Mommy" One Piece Swimsuit for the summer!  Here + Here and this one too!

How cute is this J.Crew top that is also Oh So Affordable?!

I styled a client in this MSGM mixed print dress for a Hawaiian themed summer party, and feel fairly confident she took THE Best Dressed Award. 

Is it any surprise I want this maxi dress?

Hello Friends!  I thought I'd share with you today some of my favorite Instagram accounts to follow for the awesomest in fashion, interior design and straight up eye candy.  I mean, if you love fashion, you love great interiors, right?  And if you love fashion and great interiors, you love Dirty Harry's next of kin, right?

Are you a bride to be or simply on the hunt for the most amazing dress with movement imaginable?  I can't wait to share the Leanne Marshall gowns we styled in the upcoming issue of Carolina Bride!  We are shaking up the Charlotte wedding scene!

Insieme House:  The baddest little A-frame house you ever did see.  If you love A-frames, you won't be able to stay off of homeowner Astrid's page. If you are perplexed by those strange pointy pitched roofs, this will change everything.

Charlotte based Ellison James Designs has amassed a cult like following with their bohemian fringe accessories you can't help but stare at even if it is a trend list item of the past. All hail another fall season of fringe, fabulous fringe!

Impossible to write find the right words to caption for this one. (See!)

Dorothy Draper & Company is America's first and often described as the most acclaimed design firm.  With a portfolio roster including the Waldorf Astoria in NYC, the White House, The Breakers in Palm Beach and perhaps most notably, pictured below, The Greenbriar in West Virginia.  I'd be fine without any clothes at all, surrounded in such confident decor.

Still pinch myself every time I look at my 1/30 Stephanie Vovas signed photograph of bombshell Diora Love.  

Can't ever get enough of Kimberly's vignettes and design refreshers that she shares on her blog, Swoonworthy, from over in the UK.  The very adjectives I would use to describe my style of dress, Kimberly's design style is Eclectic Boho Glam perfection.
