i agree with you that patterns are perfect for the fall. Love all the print dresses with tights!
ReplyDeleteLoving the tunics and all of the patterns and bright colors, hope you had an amazing weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am so in the mood for fall now! I wish Texas actually had seasons instead of just "hot". All of these dresses are super cute!
ReplyDelete:)
Congratulations Miranda!
ReplyDeleteTo be quite honest, I've never been much into prints, but over the past few weeks I've fallen for them - thanks to the floral printed tank I picked up last week. I quite like the pieces by James Coviello as they are a little more understated and wearable as far as prints go. :)
I love ModCloth! Everything about #7 is perfect... I would kill to own that dress. Ok, maybe not kill, but I would definitely give someone a stern look. :)

Hi there. Love your site. Gave you an award today for Great Fashion Read. These prints remind me of a Missoni dress my sister had back in the '80s...We couldn't predict which things we bought would become classics and which would become food for future comics.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the prints.
ReplyDeleteThat maxi dress is amazingggg as is the Preen dress WOW!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I saw your comment on Liz's blog about Bikram yoga, is it worth it? Does it help with weightloss? I am dying to try it, but am a little afraid.
Love all the graphic prints!

ReplyDeleteI love modcloth and could shop there all week - but shipping and toll to Europe has been quite a stopping sign most of the times.

ReplyDeletethis season dress rules!
I love the funky colors and patterns. gorgeous choices, darling!
