In Prints-ciple

Ha.  Another terrible blog title.  I’m on a roll.

Y’ALL, IT’S FRIDAY!  Let’s celebrate by rolling out the big, bold prints.  The inspiration for this post materialized when I saw the green-and-white floral skirt below (Mother of Pearl, $464).  Holy.moly.  Get me one of those, STAT.  (And P.S. – if the print is too loud for you, check out this similar style from the same brand in a simple grayish-lavender — on sale for $126!).  I love it with a simple white blouse (I covet the line Equipment, but this J. Crew variation does the job very nicely — $138) and a gorgeous statement necklace (Elizabeth Cole, on sale for $145):

Finish with the still-chic Rockstud in ivory ($945) and this number one stunna Meli-Melo tote (~$950):

Or, let the shoes do all the work — pair a simple dress (Harvey Faircloth, $495) with this helluva necklace (BOUGHT.  Hadtohave.  $105):

…and these killer pumps (Tory Burch, $325) —

— alongside this elegant + minimalistic boxy Rachael Ruddick bag ($370 — very Celine):

These blues and whites remind me of these Staffordshire dog statues ($95 for pair) I’ve been eyeballing for awhile…it all comes full circle.

Also, kind of enamored of this inexpensive throw-and-go dress ($50) with this bold white necklace (Kenneth Jay Lane, on sale for $101):

Pair with these outstanding Manolos ($595):

 

Finish with this fab 3.1 Phillip Lim mini Pashli ($350):

This in turn reminds me of some of the stunning prints from my favorite linen provider, D. Porthault — would KILL to outfit my bed in these fine duds, but alas, $275/sham is just not in the cards.  Get the look for less with these lovelies from Biscuit Home.

For a little something to get the look in a small dose, check out this perfect sweater ($89) — part surfer, part vintage ski, part perfect.

Alternately, how fresh is this printed dress from hot line Suno ($945)?  I’d wear it with this cluster necklace (Kenneth Jay Lane, $150):

Pair with the so-hot-right-now Aquazzura bootie (on RIDIC sale in this fab color for $252) and this stunning box clutch (Santi, $242):

These in turn remind me of these fab Jill Rosenwald monogrammed trays ($150) — great gift!

Anyone else?!
