 Blouse: Ted Baker. Jeans: J Brand.

I have been in search for a good white jean for the last couple of summers. I finally found this pair from J Brand. What I like about them: they are thick; they are opaque (no white pocket outlines); they are a mid-rise; they aren't too skinny on bottom, which helps balance hips; and they have a little texture. I love pairing them with breezy, feminine pieces like this beautiful Ted Baker top!

Sundresses tend to be my summer staple, as they are an easy way to stay stylish on those 90+ degree humid NYC summer days. The recent collaboration between French label Comptoir des Cotonniers and Paris-based designer Calla Haynes has my heart aflutter. I love the hydrangea prints, and the touches of white mesh add an unexpected edge. With such great colors and prints in the clothing, I don't need to do a lot of accessorizing to make a bold statement.

Wide-leg trouser jeans in a dark wash can do wonders to lengthen your legs (and camouflage your hips). Add heels and a great silk blouse—I love the abstract pattern in this top—and you are ready for date night or an evening with your girls.

I love to mix my patterns—stripes, checks, florals, polka dots—you name it!

If you like the idea of mixing prints, but don't know how, start with stripes.

You can {almost} never go wrong!

go bold!

Spring officially starts in 5 days, and NYC is supposed to reach the 60s this weekend! I plan to show my giddiness and thanks to Mother Nature by embracing one of this sprint's trends: bold prints!

If you want to get crazy and mix your prints, here are a couple of tips for making it work for your everyday style.

1. Make sure the colors are in the same color family or are the same intensity
2. Make one of your patterns dominant. Two bold patterns will compete too much with each other
