In The Details: Patterned Dresses
>> Monday, October 12, 2009
Usually when I hear the words Pattern + Bridesmaid, I cringe a little bit. Why? Because sometimes patterned dresses can go wrong. Recently I've noticed a few weddings featured on some of my favorite blogs included some lovely patterned bridesmaid dresses. I've also noticed a few bridesmaids dresses including unexpected patterned designs that have challenged my feelings about pattern bridesmaids dresses. Do I dare say it. I'm falling for the patterned Bridesmaid dress.
A Bride who plans her wedding and incorporates a lovely pattern is making a bold choice and showing her style and individuality and that is something I think is always fabulous. Before you make any judgments let's look at some photo inspiration first.
Patterns don't have to be just about floral prints, it can be lovely stripes or other geometric designs as well.
If you're on the fence about Pattern dresses, think about mixing a pattern with a solid color to add some depth to your overall wedding style.
If you're still not too sure how you feel about a Patterned Bridesmaid Dress check out this wonderful wedding featured on Lucky Me.
You may not be completely convinced but a good pattern in moderation is always an unexpected element to any wedding. If you're not feeling patterned bridesmaids dresses think about including a pattern in the wedding decor. Whatever you choose always make sure it showcases your style.

I've noticed a lot of pattern dresses when I'm in shops or browsing online and as I kept searching, I found a lot of lovely pattern dresses. If you're unsure if pattern is for you, well you won't know until you try right?

I'm really feeling the Felix collection by French Bull. Since I'm such a sucker for patterns how would I not fall in love?
Fall in Love with Patterns
>> Wednesday, February 4, 2009
I'll admit there was a time in my life when I didn't like patterns {gasp}. Now, I love them and can't get enough of them. While I'm not at the point of mixing various patterns together in my home {baby steps} I have allowed pattern into my closet and love it. When it comes to shoes, I've been on the slower side adding a pair here or there but now, I can't see why when I've been going so slow when lovely little bitties like these could be in my closet?
Patterned Classic Ballet Flat from J.Crew
While I've been a bit slower in adding shoes with patterns to my closet I'm loving these patterns for home like... This floral print slipper chair from Target. 
or this Bird & Floral Print Upholstered Chair
There's been a lot of buzz about these chairs in the blogosphere, while these are buzz worthy, the patterns in either chair are lovely and would liven up any room. Now if the chair is too much for your pattern taste, think about adding a few patterned pillows like this, this or this.
Even a little bit of pattern can go a long way.
Let's Get Graphic!

Over the weekend, I walked into Pottery Barn just to see what was inside and I fell in love with all of the graphic prints. Oh how I wish I could have one of these chairs {I really don't need one nor do I have a place to put it} yet still want one.
I definitely have my eye on these pillows. My couch needs a color change.
If your looking for a bold splace of color, these grpahic prints just may do the trick. Pin It Read more...
Shoe Pattern
>> Monday, January 7, 2008
Make a statement with your footwear this year and add bold colors and/or patterns to your shoe collection. Sure you love it on your purse, shirts and sweaters so why not try it with your footwear. Here's some inspiration.
Vanessa geo-print espadrille Wedge Has two bold pattern options.
Bettye Muller Frame flat in a vibrant madras styled peep-toe flat perfect for spring.
While the price may be out of your budget (mine too) these Emilio Pucci patterned ballet flats can inspire a search for similar-styled prints. 
If you want a shoe with a pattern but more color try these color blocking styles that can also add a colorful flair to your outfit. This cute peep-toe wedge from Anne Klien could be a start
These pattern printed shoes can add a little bit of flair to a timeless black dress, turn work attire from corporate to cocktail and spark countless conversations that begin with..."Ooh, I love your shoes."
