Have to admit, I love color blocking as well.  Probably just because you can stack your favorite colors and it somehow still works. 

I was eyeing this skirt for months last year and Esther surprised me with it for my birthday.  So the mix of unique skirt, great friend and celebrating my birthday-- well.... makes it a great outfit to wear. 

Also doesn't color blocking remind you of those large crayola boxes we used to have?  I used to love all those colors.  This outfit is a dedication to the summer crayon colors.  Now go color something.

Happy Friday!

Color blocking has been around for awhile, so is it played out?  Not yet!  Well, at least not according to Harper's Bazaar or Refinery29.

The great thing about color blocking - and what's made it an enduring fashion trend - is the seemingly endless combinations that you can put together.  My favorite is orange and violet.

P.S. Confession: this outfit was inspired by a reality tv star.  Guess who?  Find out here.

You know I have been saying this for a while-- your ensembles look very sophisticated and mine resemble a little girl playing dress up.  I'm going to change all that after my birthday next week.  HAH!

Anyway.  What do you think of Ted and I?  Cute couple right?  Isn't he so dreamy?  Even a dirty bear like him would like a preppy chick like me...Well only in this picture.

I'm ridiculous.  I am aware.

In the words of the great American author and humorist, Mark Twain: "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco."  By the looks of it, you'd guess it's March, not August.  Growing up in NY, I remember basking in these final glorious weeks of summer, but alas, I'm bundled up in long sleeves, sweaters and coats.  

That said, here's my nod to "the summer preppy look".  Remember this distressed denim inspiration?  I paired it with a striped shirt from Saint James and a white button down from MaxMara plus a pop of red by Chanel.

Summer here I come!

xoxo,
Linda

Cousin, the second I saw this top on Blair Eadie's blog, I ordered it instantly.  Was on a waitlist for 2 months but completely worth it.  Wondering if anyone checks out our posts and gets inspired by our looks or even spontaneously purchases any of the items we are sporting....  

Hope Blair sees our post!  

Hi Blair!  Thanks for the inspirations!
