Happy Friday! This week flew by... can't believe it is almost the weekend! I'm excited for {Friday's Fancies} this week because I suggested the "pattern mixing" theme idea to {av} when I met her this past Sunday at her blogger blitz event in NYC! Oh, speaking of that, I haven't forgotten to post photos from the event - I will be doing that next week on Instagram Monday...so definitely check back then! :) But... back to Friday's Fancies - I am a huge fan of pattern mixing... and so is Blair Eadie from {Atlantic-Pacific} - one of my favorite style icons:

Ahh... I wish, wish, wish I had her wardrobe and I wish, wish, wish I could pull off the looks as flawless as she does! I know I am not the only one who swoons over her blog every.single.day! :)

Ok, that's enough Blair Eadie love for one day... here is another way I love to pattern mix...

...in the home! I actually should have included a photo of my family room in this post because it is full of patterns! I have bright floral pillows on a brown pinstripe couch, sitting on top of a zebra striped rug, next to paisley stools... and the patterns continue! It's the best way to mix fun with classic pieces of furniture! But... if I were to create an outfit mixing different patterns, I would be inspired by this:

I loveeeeeee Atlantic-Pacific! Great idea for this week :)
Haha like how included the printed socks.
Blair is a stylish one! I'm constantly inspired by her. Love this post, great ideas for print mixing!

i mix patterns but i always make sure they are neutral patterns. i would love to mix bold prints like blair (i think it looks so chic) but then i am afraid i will look silly.

I love Atlantic-Pacific, too! She really can pull off the best outfits that I wish I could wear (have the guts to try maybe?)!!
Your outfit is cute! I'm nervous about plaid with stripes but I think you could pull it off with the right confidence!
Blaire does it so, sooo well. I am a huge fan of mixing pattern in both fashion + interiors. Love this post!
Obsessed with blair too. Unmatched sense of style.
So great meeting you last weekend at the Blogger Blitz!!

Her combos are outrageous and fantastic!! I feel like it's hard for me to throw down the cash for pieces that outlandish because I always think I couldn't possibly get that much use out of them... Well she sure seems to make it work! I need to seriously revamp my wardrobe!

I love the look but I just don't seem to be able to pull it off!
i love the re-creation of the the daybook's look, it is adorable! and i want all of those items having in my closet now
I envy Blair on a daily basis. Love your strips and plaid though!!

Damn Blaire, she always looks great...in anything!
Love the plaid and the stripes together! That entire outfit is rocking my world right now!
OOOOh, pattern mixing at its best; love these combos!
I just found your blog--yay! New follower. Superb outfits!
Such a great post! Love your inspiration, Blair is such a super star. Great round up.
I was excited all week about YOUR idea. Such a good one and fun to put together.... so thanks! Love the home pics, too. I've been willing to mix prints at home for years but do so w trepidation when it comes to wardrobe. But getting there....
(not tonight though, as I'm home making comments ;) ;)
