Je voudrais des prints s'il vous plait.

Okay not totally in French but I didn't know how to say prints! Yes, prints as in the amazingly fashionable look for summer. On the streets, I'm seeing horizontal stripes everywhere. Remember when we were told,
"Never where horizontal stripes. They make you look wide!"
Well, too bad. Because I'm doing it. And loving it.
Classy, nautical, and chic, you can never go wrong with this simple print. 
How to wear it? Easy. Big stripes usually work the best. If you are willing to go a little crazy and mix some patterns, different sized striped always look cool together. Keep it simple with working in the same color palette and you'll be stripetastic!

Sorry, I had to make an adjective with stripe in it. I just had to. (:


And of course, the florals. Oh flowers.. the weather might be too bi-polar for you to grow in but we can wear you just fine. From rompers to dresses to shorts, flowers are taking control. Florals are definitely going to be taking up my wardrobe this summer... if anything else can fit into my closet.. 


And last but not least, I was inspired by the Proenza Schouler spring pre-collection for these next printastic pieces. (I'm just making up words all over the place today...) 
 



 This whole collection is.. well to put it simply, amazing. The prints are thrown in here and there but not in an in your face, look at me, sort of way. They are fashionable, beautiful, and stripey. I'm even starting to like the concept of the horizontal shirt fabric with the vertical stripe shorts. Every single piece is breathtaking.


Leaving you in a printabulous (ha, see what I did there? another word!) mood,


La Couturess.
