OOTD - Saturday Pattern Mixing

This is a link up post for Marionberry Style. Marion's Trend of the Month Link-up is Pattern Mixing. You can check out all the other links on her blog. 

Pattern mixing is a huge trend right now and is fairly easy to follow. Pick a color scheme and stick with it. Go for monochromatic color with just the patterns to mix, or go for a wild look with an awesome floral pattern and mix with a colorful stripe or dot.

I kept mine simple with just some good old white and navy dots and stripes. I brought in some color with my pale green sandals and bubblegum lipstick.

OOTD & Eva's Hair


It is hard to get past the Victoria Beckham poses. I always get at least one or two in. 

Casual Friday at it's best. I love this crochet crop top so much. It feels so summery and alive. My rockstar jeggings fit like a glove and feel so great even on these hot days!! 


These are my attempts at posing non VB style.

OOTD & Quick Eye Makeup Tutorial


Today was one of those days. 
The kids were everywhere going 100 miles an hour. 
My jeans have a stain on them, a little orange dribble from the Popsicle that my daughter is holding. Oh the life of a parent. 


This is one of my absolute favorite color combinations - pale pink and taupe. I do not really know why it is just very relaxed and soft looking. 

Enjoy my posing attempts. I always envision Victoria Beckham when I pose in front of a camera and that habit is proving very difficult to break.

OOTD - Sunday Print & White Shorts






This is one of my favorite looks. I love love love the crispness of a pair of white shorts. They always look so neat and clean and summery, especially when paired with a really pretty preppy pattern.


What can I say about my Tory Burch Revas in Royal Tan that I have not already?? They are uber comfortable now they feel like second skin. BUT they are getting really worn around the edges. I think it might be time to get another pair or TB's in a very neutral wearable color of some sort. Just to supplement these so that I do not wear them as much.
Tunic from Forever 21, Shorts from Old Navy, Tory Burch Reva Flats in Royal Tan, Tacori Wedding Rings, Leaf Necklace from Charlotte Russe


Makeup:
Bobbi Brown Long Lasting Foundation (Long what?)
Tarte Amused Blush
MAC Satin Taupe Eye Shadow
Nars All About Eve Eye Shadow Duo
Buxom Lip Cream in White Russian



Here's another bit of info that I have yet to really say out loud. Well, I have said it to my daughter who has been bugging me and begging me to grow out my hair. I think I just might. I have yet to really tell anyone else though, but I think I just might. I do miss having extra long hair. But I love the ease of my current cut. Of course my current style is going on 5 years old. It is just so easy and always always looks finished. How do I pull that off with long hair?
