Stripe Mania

I have had a hectic, but amazing, three weeks. I've traveled to Orange County for work, Vegas for fun and Palm Springs for inspiration! In PS, I met up with an inspiring group of women (more on that to come), enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and got some much needed inspiration for my brain.

Fell in love with all the stripey-action in the Palm Springs shops!

Clockwise from left - images 1, 2 & 3 are the Kate Spade store, image 4 is J. Crew (where I was "inspired" to buy some adorable yellow shorts!)

Pattern Party - Chevron and Stripes Edition

I spent my twenties wearing solid colors. Yes, there was often some sort of flair - a ruffle, a fun trim, but in it seems these days we are all more comfortable rocking bold geometric patterns...

Love it in the home:

And of course I'm loco for stripes on clothing...

I snapped a pic of this J. Crew top (using the hipstamatic iphone app, hence the funky colors)
Love it, though made a vow to myself that I am done buying striped tops and dresses - that niche is FULL in my wardrobe.

Here's the top on a proper model.


Loved these two striped J. Crew goodies as well...Stripes + Sequins = A No Brainer


Striped blazer? Might have to end my stripe hiatus for this bad boy.


And a striped scarf never hurt anyone...

Yay! Patterns for everyone!
