Pattern Play

I hope you've all survived the work-week and are enjoying your weekend! I'm in a great mood because the sun has been shining and there's been a lovely breeze blowing through. Also to all the mothers out there, Happy Mother's Day! I don't know what I'd do without my mom/best friend/biggest supporter, so make sure you treat your mom well and thank her for raising you into the lovely, stylish person you are today.

Now onto this week's style post! What's more summery than a bit of pattern mixing? I know one of the most challenging trends can be mixing and matching patterns, without coming off as a crazy bag lady...So, below are my tips for mixing different patterns, and still looking like a your stylish and sane.

Spring/Summer 2017 Trends

I hope you have all had a lovely Easter weekend if you celebrate Easter! I, on the other hand, have been working and doing homework all weekend, but sometimes that's just how it goes.

I thought it was about time we discuss some of Spring/Summer's hottest trends. Spring is such an exciting time to re-vamp your closet and inject a little color and fun. I always feel incredibly inspired by the blooming flowers, the crisp air, and the warm sun. The trends below are the perfect embodiment of those things, that you can actually wear. So get in the spring state of mind!

Color Forecast: Spring 2017

So spring has finally sprung, and the weather is slowly changing from dull and chilly to bright, crisp, and a little warmer.

One of the most wonderful things about spring, in my opinion, is the introduction of the color that was lost during those dull winter months. The flowers start blooming and that means your wardrobe can too! I've been thoroughly enjoying adding some pops of color back into my life the past couple weeks, so I thought I would research what colors will be trending this season so you can try them out too. Grab yourself a cup of tea and some chocolate, and let's talk color!

The Print of the Season: Gingham

I hope this mid-week post as opposed to my Sunday post didn't throw you off too much! Due to an overwhelming amount of school work and some crazy, inclement weather, I had to push the post back to today. I know..excuses..excuses, but let's get on with this post, and just maybe you can forgive me.

Spring 2017 has a bigger star print than the usual floral that floods the season. Let me introduce you to the print of the season...Gingham! This fresh, crisp print is an easy trend that we should all try to get on board with. This classic pattern is turning up everywhere, and let me tell you, there are a million ways to wear it!

A Touch of the 80s

How are you all doing? I hope you've all had a successful and mostly stress-free week. For this week's post, I want to take you back to the 80s...well maybe not all the way back, but why not dip our toes in a little? We need to discuss how past trends are influencing style today and which throwbacks you should bring back.

How to Shop Online Like a Pro

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend. I'm sorry I missed last week's post. I am officially starting my senior show at university, so I had a very busy week last week.

Anyway, let's get into this week's post which is all about shopping online. Honestly, online shopping is a little intimidating at first, isn't it? Never fear, Georgie is here! I have a few little tips will make your online experience just that much smoother. I mean think about it, what could be better than shopping from the comfort of your own bed?

2017 Fashion Resolutions

I hope you have all had a wonderful start to the new year, and I'm sorry I didn't post last weekend. We had to head back from England, and I wanted to focus on spending the last couple days with my family!

Anyway, as we have now entered 2017, I have made a few fashion New Year's revolutions that you might want to try out for yourself.

Sporty Outfit of the Day

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend! As for me, I'm having a pretty good week. I just took my final exams and am finally finished with what has been a very stressful semester. Also, this time next week I will be home in England (with my favorite cousin, Neave!) I'm so excited to see all of my family and spend the holidays with them. For today's post, I thought I would give you a quick outfit-of-the-day look.
