Syle With Shannon on Pattern Mixing...

{Shirt} J.crew {Skirt} ASOS {Shoes} J.crew {Bag} Zara {Bracelets} J.crew, Forever 21

Hi everyone ! My name is Shannon and I have a fashion blog called Style with Shannon. I was lucky enough to met Rachel at two different blogger meet ups. She is such a sweet person and she has the best sense of style.

Rachel asked me to do a post on pattern mixing. Right now my favorite pattern mixing is anything floral. Nothing makes you feel more like it's spring time then floral. Mix it with strips, plaid, polka dots or more floral. Rules do not apply with this trend. The key is:

• Stay in a coordinating colors with all you pieces.
• Try and very the scale of your patterns.
• Keep your accessories simple, this will keep your look from getting to busy.
• Most of all have fun with it!

On my blog I love to talk about fashion trends. I do personal style and street style. Come stop by and take a look around. Also don't forget to enter my givaway. I want to thank Rachel for letting me guest post on her blog!

Here is a little message from the designer herself,

"When I started planning my wedding last summer, I had a hard time finding the exact accessory I wanted, so I created my own. I fell in love with the process and decided to start my own line, ILY COUTURE.  All of our pieces are made with the finest materials, and meticulously hand crafted to perfection {no hot glue}. ILY Couture has one basic philosophy: We want to make you feel beautiful. When you feel good about yourself you light up a room".

My family and I had the opportunity to attend the City Creek Charity Gala yesterday and let me tell you, I think my mom, Emily and I died and went to heaven {especially in J.Crew}. Aside from shopping, my Dad gave us a little tour around the gorgeous mall and showed us all of the work that his construction company built at City Creek. I told him I thought the company did their best work at Nordstrom and Tiffany&CO! If you live in Utah, you have to go check this amazing mall out!

Don't forget today is the last day to enter the Jose Eber Flat Iron Giveaway!!

Who is seeing the Hunger Games tonight?!?! I know I am and it's going to be worth every second of lost sleep!!!!!
