Happy Sunday everyone! I wanted to do a full post yesterday after I got my hair done, however long weekends are usually busy at the hospital - and this weekend was/is no different! Anyways, I've always loved having short hair, but lately I had been trying to grow it out. I've done long hair, short hair, black, brunette, blonde - you name it. And while it was nice being able to put it in a pony tail, or bun, I have to say I am loving my bob so much more! I also am a huge fan of the color! Usually when I go in I get a different color every time - but lately I have been sticking to this same color. Why switch up a good thing? My hairdresser gave me an 'undercut' in the back, meaning the hair underneath is shorter than the hair lying overtop so that it looks more 'wispy'. At least I think that's what it means. As mentioned in my last post, a huge inspiration for me wanting to cut my hair short again was Karlie Kloss. You tube the new Victoria Secret commercial - her hair looks amazing! Also loving Anne Hathway's short cut, as well as Julianne Hough and Halle Berry. And who can forget Victoria Beckham's short hair? Love! What do you all think of shorter hairstyles? Would you ever go short, or do you have a short style already? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

As mentioned in my last blog post I have been really into patterned pants lately. And what better way to show off patterned pants than with a patterned top? Mixing patterns can be tricky but if done right it can be visually stimulating. By picking a base color/colors (I did black and white) you can easily tie in patterned pieces effectively. I like to mix a denser pattern in with a more sparse pattern print.  I also love anything leopard print - mix that with stripes or polka dots and voila! Stripes and florals is also a great combination. Who am I kidding - stripes is always a great piece to use when mixing patterns as it goes with virtually anything if you stick to the same color family. It's also important to throw in a neutral piece with your outfit - hence my nude shoes and handbag. It helps to break up your outfit and balance it out. Do you have other ideas for mixing patterns? What rules do you go by?
