I really admire those who are able to mix and match prints and look really cool... I'm trying to work on it!
I'll take the Tibi dress and the Lanvin clutch please. Delicious choices as usual!
I'm lucky number one!
This post is amazing. So much colour and texture.
I love the Pucci mini dress and the Westwood skirt: DIVINE!
Keep up the lovely blogging.

we just can't help to love patterns, don't we??
love all the stuffs, especially the dresses..
great-patterned dresses are must-have items to stole the spotlight! love the dvf!! :D
beautiful prints. this really inspires me to mix it up!
I am completely head over heels for Gucci Resort and Diane Von Furstenberg. Love! :)
i love the tibi maxi and the zimmerman dress. this post is perfect inspiration for my summer wardrobe full of colorful, bold prints. (i just posted about that glam gucci dress a few days ago!:)
mixing patterns is one of my favorite things to do, but my mom is also confused when i don't match lol
Hi there,
thanks so much for leaving your lovely comment on my main blog (www.modediktat.de)!
I've tried to leave you a comment before but since my blog isn't at Blogspot I can't leave more Hello's than I would love to :)
I love your post about patterns. In my opinion Dries van Noten did a fantastic job in 08 - this collection is burning like a sparkle in my memory! Glorious!
As well as the Gucci Resort prints... I would love to own one of the maxi dresses of the collection. At least I would love to own them all, to be honest... But let's keep it real ;)
I hope to stay in touch.
Have a fantastic and relaxed weekend!!
xoxo, Sofie
Thanks so much - again! :)
So now you know when I'm commenting via this ID it's me!
I was reading through your amazing blog when you're latest comment arrived! :)
I'm going to add you to my favorite blog list right now! Again, happy weekend and warmest regards to the East Coast!! :-D
I do love mixing and matching prints! I think it is all about the confidence that can pull it off:)
These really give me a summer feeling! Love the dresses!
x!
I like idea of mixing patterns now.
Hoy no puedo elegir nada, me gusta todooooo.

Hot! The alice and olivia dress is to die for. xoxo
I'm loving those wedges! I think I'm going to push myself with more patterns this summer!
And thank you darling...yes, a couple of glasses of pinot was perfect company! No need to take on situations that might end up ugly!
YOU are lovely! xoxo!
i always stay with my solid colors, but I think it's time for me to embrace a few patterns. This was awesome inspiration
LOVE the colours! My favorites are the gucci dress and dvf pantsuit!
This Flashback is amazing! Zimmerman jumpsuit is great, Diane von Furstenberg - my love forever, and Gucci Resort is so, so fantastic!
Have a wonderful weekend,
FM~FP

Very inspirational. I'm always too afraid to mix prints, but it looks like it can be done tastefully. I just need to be more brave!
I love mixed patterns!
Loving the outfits! I want them all xoxox
I feel totally inspired to throw out all of my black clothes right now hahaha. lovely collection <3
I love the colours.
Qué buena selección!Mis favoritos la 2ªfoto,el vestido Gucci resort y los Louboutin.
Xoxo
patterns and prints should be worn with caution, but they are beautiful when they are done right.
I love the fist pic, the Vogue´s one. Great selection, as always.
Besos!!!
The Alice and olvia dress is very pretty.
Believe it or not, I used to be scared of prints. Obviously, Ossie Clark broke me of that worry!
Such pretty prints! I love the Stella dress and the Criss-cross back dress... xo
Such Wonderful colours!!
So summer-ish.!

Wow! Such beautiful colors. That first image is fantastic. Reminds me of the 80s color spectrum.
I'm terrible at wearing just one print--I can't imagine pulling off a mix of them! But I adore nearly every look in this post so maybe I should try harder! Plus, I just adore that Lanvin clutch.
ooh! stunning :) i really like dries van noten's mix/matchable print designs

i looove mixing and matching prints. i've got to say, no one mixes and matches better than marc jacobs, that s/s collection was UNBELIEVABLE.
Cool new header!
I adore the Gucci Resort dress and the Alexander McQueen clutch!
Gosh, these are beatuiful. I envy people who can put prints together and on beautifully.
Gorgeous. x
Love the Pucci and Gucci dresses! hhmmm - didn't mean to pick for the same sounding designers =))
CC, I love your header!!!!!
... always when I think I don´t love pattern.. I come across pattern or mix and match prints I love... does that make sense ;)
This season I love especially Marc Jacobs
mix and match prints!!!
HAPPY SUNNY SUNDAY!
Hugs & Kisses
mwah...mwah
Martina
Very inspiring! I love them all - they are so out there and pretty!
The Erdem Resort is SO pretty! I don't think I would wear it but it's just gorgeous to look at!
i love them all. Youre so wonderful thanks for taking all these effort. I love your blog to bits!!!!
Not sure about this trend, but the Lanvin leopard print clutch is to die for!
I am drooling over the set with the plaid shirt, just adorable! Great finds!

Gorgeous patterns.
I'm a bit afraid of prints... weird I think.
I wish I could mix them and not be looked like an allien....
Hope you're having a great weekend, beautiful you.
xoxo
Got to admit,the patterns are very pretty :), especially the minidress Geneve from net-a-porter.
Love the Tibi one shouldered dress....gorgeous!
And CC, I got the Elizabeth and James deconstructed tee. I love it! And I see what you meant by "the S is quite large". So is the XS....but in a good way :)
Thank you so much :D
Hope you're having a fabulous weekend
Gorgeousness all over the place!
I want those leggings...
Patterns are fierce n u got to have some attitude to pull them off :o]

it's been a while since i have had the chance to check your posts and there is so much eye candy right now i can't contain myself! love the patters and currently looking for some dresses right now. great finds!
so many colours in only one outfit remind me of the powerpuff girls
i like to see many colours on others but i don't buy them for my wardrobe
it's just not my style
Now it's so sad to see Lacroix's works... :(.
More than 2o couture years... sad, sad, depressing !
Amazing post though !
fantastic...really sexy and hot
