one picture: pink print mixing

[image: hallie daily]

This image seemed to be all over my Pinterest feed this weekend and I absolutely adore the print mixing going on here, courtesy of personal style blogger Hallie Daily. Pattern blocking is such a refreshing styling trend, especially when tied together by a common color like the bubblegum pink palate here. 

Stripes pair easily with most prints, even zany ones like on the top and clutch in this picture. Lately, I've been wearing my favorite striped tees with tropical and tribal patterned pants and loving the results. 

Do you have a favorite print mixing combo? Tell me, tell me!

Peace, Love and Neon,

one picture: my perfect spring '13 look

Such a simple combination in theory (pants + t-shirt + heels =  a basic no brainer!), but worn by Italian fashion editor/stylist Aurora Sansone, these statement making Miu Miu pants and reflective sunnies mixed with stark whites make for a surprisingly bold look. And you know that any outfit that works in wristfuls of friendship bracelets is A-OK in my book! I definitely plan on hunting down ankle-length trousers in a killer print to pair with a kids Fruit of the Loom tee all spring long.

one picture: brights and whites

Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific coming in with
back-to-back posts here on the Neon Tea Party.

I couldn't resist sharing this look with you all:

Mixing brights and whites are a perfect bold summer statement.

It's inspiring me to create a similar outfit with my own white blazer.

Wish there were a close up of her bracelet combo, though, as I spy oranges, pinks, and yellows! You can check out her neons from Toronto jewelry designer Lauren Elan here.

Neon wrists forever!

Poring through fashion week street style slideshows, I've amassed a hefty collection of saved images on my desktop. This one, despite knock-out look after knock-out look, stopped me in my tracks. The chick is speaking my language: hippie fur coat, turban, vintage tee, colorful scarf, perfect skinnies and beat up black boots. Put a fork in me, I'm done!

A major FW street style post to come. Hint: everyone's been wearing NEONS AND BRIGHTS!!

...and happy MARCH! Exactly one week till my 22nd birthday!!

one picture: what a collection

{photo from tfs via le fashion}

My eyes just popped out of my head a little bit. Kind of really jealous of this bracelet collection. Obviously it's Taylor Tomasi.

Note to self: look for vintage rhinestone bracelets in Paris!

one picture: my ultimate style icons

Interning with Teen Vogue last summer was awesome and inspiring every day. More inspiring than the racks of clothing and returned photo shoot looks were the editors' themselves. You could only imagine that behind such a fabulously stylish and fun magazine exists a group of editors that subscribe to the same sartorial aesthetic. In other words: them Teen Vogue editors got style!

Last night I came across some pictures of the editors on-line and was feeling oh so inspired. They are queens of mix-and-match chic and always have the BEST accessories!! Who else do you think inspired my obsession with all things neon??

To inspire you all as well, here is a photo of five of the Teen Vogue darlings.

See what I mean?
