Wave the American Flag! Happy 4th of July!

Happy Saturday! If you're celebrating Independence Day, then I hope it is a fun and safe one! Happy July 4th! I wanted to share these photos from a shoot with Renee in which Dee from Swell Beauty did my hair and make up, and local sunglasses company zeroUV was on set to film and photograph a behind-the-scenes look at when I'm shooting for FFF! Can't wait to share all the footage and other images with you!

Mixing Stripe and Floral Prints

A fun way to mix prints is with stripes and florals. Usually stripes can seamlessly pair with other prints; in this look, I styled a thinly striped button down tucked into an abstract, floral printed skirt. This look works well because the stripe pattern of the top is symmetrical and simple which balances the bold floral print of the skirt. I chose the blue stripe because it mimics a blue shade in the floral print. Read my full eHow article on the 'The Basic of Mixing Prints'. Here are details on the outfit:

Simple All White Outfit

I've posted two other all white outfits here and here, and my 'How to Wear White' story has been published on eHow which you can read here. In this look, I wanted to dress up a pair of white denim cargo jeans, so I styled a flowy tank and simple vest to create a bold look. I finished the look with strappy white heels, see the outfit details below:
