I absolutely can not pick just one Carrie, they are all very summery and chic, sexy, bold--- You have exquisite taste!
I'm a sucker for anything printed (almost) and the quality of your choices has me overwhelmed...I couldn't single one out!
p.s. hope you are nicely easing into the weekend (have a great one)
p.p.s. I more than meant it...if you see anything you like on the supre site, let me know and I'll organise to send it your way (cheaper than postage from the site...probably )
Ciao bella!
"patterns are perfection" very cute. love seeing patterns out and about
I love crazy-print dresses- so many bold and pretty ones here. Great finds, all of them!

My fave is Etro. It has a tribal theme to it, and I don't have much of that in my closet right now.
It's so fun looking at new fashion on your site!
You're so right about short & patterned being the perfect blend. I'm obsessed with that one Tori with the triangles; in fact, you've reminded me that I need to track it down & put it on my sale watch list.
I'm not really fan of patterns, keep it simple...but I love this last one with little stars!
Wonderful prints!
Fantastic prints! That Miu Miu silk mosaic print dress is a dream... ♥♥
Love so many of these dresses, the balmain, gucci, cavalli! great picks!
amazing! I love prints, especially florals right now!

I love printed dresses. In fact, thinking back over my wardrobe at the moment, the printed ones definitely outnumber the solid numbers.
print to perfection! I've never enjoyed print as much as i did over the last 5 mins!
Wow, I'm not so sure about the patterns above - they are all so busy, but I love the floral patterns further down. That light pink pencil dress (is that what they are called, lol) is so pretty. Love seeing all of the different styles!
Astridland = breaking my heart! love prints!

What a great post dear! I'm a bit careful with the prints so I would love to have something like that Byblos dress, I also adore the collats in that look!
So beautiful. These dresses are simply stunning. I can't even pick favorites today!!
I LOVE the Anna Sui Collection!!! SO gorgeous :) xo
LOVE the Tibi, Etro and Cynthia Rowley Resort dresses but most of all I want that Alice and Olivia one...hmmmmm...*checks wallet*
BEST POST! I love printed dresses! They are so easy to throw on lazy days.
I'm obsessed with Anna Sui number one. Oh my gosh so gorgeous! :)
You had me at "Balenciaga"
But all of these pieces...swoon!
You flatter me woman!! HAHA I WISH I was in an Audrey Kawasaki print. You are the best :)
XO

I wasn't a huge fan of prints until earlier this month. I am now completely obsessed!
Did a google search for Rachel Leigh jewelry and came across your blog. I LOVE it! Definitely following you now (:
Wow! Some of these are really cool. I really dig them. Great photos. Cheers!
i really cant choose.. i loveeee all the dresses.. lol if only we all had unlimited funds.. lol
I love dresses with prints on them because they go with more colors, and these prints are beautiful. I love the Dior leopard print.
Love love love love the Chris Benz & Miu Miu dress!
Your posts always install an incredible urge to go shop...
Beautiful prints.. I love all of them, you always have the best images in your post.

Love these! Printed dresses are so fun (but you're right, they need to be short!). I really like the strapless ones.
Again, I choose Gucci. And would also love to have that interesting Anna Sui dress. xxx
To think, I used to avoid prints...I've come a long way!
Love the Peter Jensen Resort number!! Your print post is very stimulating - so easy to go block colour, this makes you think.
I must confess that I haven't much things with prints, I'm more for solids, but these are just such gorgeous pieces that it makes me want more prints :)
Thanks for always share all this beautiful things, gorgeous CC.
xoxo
Oh my! The Balenciaga collection was so so stunning! Also love the Chris Benz, Josh Goot & Peter Pilotto dresses, gorgeous! :)

As usual, you have a dazzling array of things I would love to own, but that Versace piece is to die for.
