Red, White & Fabulous

Miu Miu - Resort 2012

On the eve of CANADA's BIRTHDAY I wanted to offer up some patriotic pairings in a celebration of my homeland (CAN) and my new home (USA). since the holiday's are so close together be sure to confidently a million mixes of the Red, White and Blue. There are thousands of ways to mix the colours into your look. I love mixing nautical and military themed pieces as well as prints for day and night.  Below are a few fun suggestions. The only limit to your patriotic paring possibilities is your imagination.

Patriotic Pairings for Spring/Summer

Patriotic pairings are a trendy choice for Spring / Summer 2011 ~ for us residing in the USA/U.K. embrace your RED, WHITE & BLUES with a little nautical twist and glam gold accents. To be Canadian CHIC, get rid of your blues and rock your red & white!! xo

*Trends are suggestions and not to be taken literally really. They are intended to be interpreted by you and your own unique and personal style. The color pallet can serve as inspiration. For example one of the colors is white - nothing is as chic as an all white ensemble with great accessories for Spring/Summer*

I got this fabulous R/W/B striped Vintage coat yesterday and it was instinctual that I immediately LOVED it for this season.

I then cruised by my p.o. box to pick up my mail and was greeted with the latest issue of Harpers Bazaar to find the following reinforcement (Click on images to ENLARGE):
