North v. South Style: Mixing Prints

Hola!  Happy Friday!  Not so happy because it's our last week of the #northvsouthstyle collab but today is happy because well, it's Friday.  Gosh it's been a crazy week.  I keep going through these periods of being not so busy to running around at 1,000 MPH.  It's cray.

Anyway, this week we are going out with a bang and styling our favorite printed pieces together.  I know, mixing prints is like this crazy new thing that no one has ever done before ;).  But really - I was very excited for this theme because I feel like mixing prints has helped me expand my wardrobe options.  If you stopped by on Wednesday you saw some of my favorite prints together.  

Without further adieu here's how we styled our prints!  You can see my full post below!

Window Shopping Wednesday: Mixing Prints

Lately I've been all about mixing prints.  I can get enough of the quirky combos I come up with - it always gives a fresh spin on an outfit.  

Today I wanted to show you some outfits you'd likely see me sporting if I had all these pieces in my closet.  Tune in Friday to see how I mix prints with the rest of the #northvsouthstyle bloggers!

Which is your favorite combo?

Apartment Style: City Living

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a fab weekend. I took a little trip to Washington DC and had such a good time. It was definitely the perfect recharge and so great to see old friends.

I'm hosting a Posh Party with Jackie Giardina tomorrow night so be sure to tune in! The theme is "Pretty, Flirty and Girly" - super fun!

While I'm sure you know, this blog is mostly based on fashion, I thought of something fun to share with you all today. Ever wondered what it's like to live in 70 sq. ft.? Well you're about to find out and you'll quickly see why I joke that I "live in a closet without a closet."
Take a peek into my little corner of my [maybe] 700 sq. ft. NYC apartment...

It's all in the details...

North v. South: Spring Accessories

Welcome to week 5 of the #northvsouthstyle collab!  This week we styled our favorite spring accessories and if you saw my post on Wednesday, I curated my favorites for you.  Looks like Katie, Shelby and Michelle like some of the same accessories I do!  #GreatMindsThinkAlike I guess :).

Happy Friday - I'm taking a half day from work and heading off to DC for the weekend!  Be sure to follow all my adventures on Instagram and Twitter!

Also, can we talk about these shoes and how well they match the scenery?  Jen and I ventured to Prospect Park with the intention of going to the botanical gardens last weekend but the line was so long we ventured to the park instead.  We decided to step out of our usual concrete jungle scenery and pose by the pond - I have to say it was pretty refreshing!  Although I look a little out of context...
