Friday's Fancies: Mix & Match

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 

Today on Friday's Fancies we're mixing and matching prints! This has got to be one of my FAVORITE ways to style an outfit. I've recently tried incorporating more edgier prints into my wardrobe just to spice up my look a bit. It's so fun and of course a bold move! Try it yourself! You will look splendid, I know!

SO EXCITED to be headed to Iowa tomorrow to see one of my best friends and her lovely sis!

It was on my bucket list to go see them this summer, but I ran out of time. So I'm looking forward to spending a week with my girls around this time of year! It is our favorite, anyway!

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW:

I have got some fun happenings next week on Coral Cafe' for you!!

There will be some incredible and inspiring guest bloggers + my very first giveaway!!

 You will NOT want to miss out!

Have a wonderful weekend, dears!

Introducing...

I'm creating a series that will help guide you through my design process. Mostly through my Inspiration Palettes. This series will be called "The Muse," stemming from the definition of inspiration,muse:    noun- inspiration, creative influence, stimulus; formal afflatus.therefore, creating this light and serene palatte:

I found this brilliant aqua-stoned, metallic rose clutch and had numerous ways to approach the design palette. I could have chosen a bright aqua dress and tortoise framed heels, but then I realized that the aqua stones on the clutch are the focal point of my palette. By using neutral colors, the clutch has a chance to stand out from the rest. This is an instant in which your accessories and jewelry can speak for themselves. When looking to give more attention to a certain item of clothing or piece of furniture, choose a simple background or canvas and let that one particular swanky item be your muse!

(Of course the rest, in my opinion, are still pretty swanky!)
