Black & White Beach.

Black & White Beach.

Stripes & polka dots are my go to patterns from the summer. Dress them up or "cas" them down, they add a bit of prep to any look you are going for. When styling polka dots and stripes I prefer to stick with neutrals in the print such as black & white, navy & white, red & white, etc.. However when working with a plain color scheme for the patterns I love to add a splash of color to the outfit in the form of a small accessory or accent piece. In this look i love the bright red handles of the tote to offset the neutral black and cream. A little bit of color can really change the hole look to any outfit, making it more exciting and fun.

Here's my take on mixing polka dots & stripes for a fun day at beach.

I absolutely love mixing patterns & designers especially when it comes to cute summer attire. I am definitely not a "one brand kinda girl" and like to dapple into many different styles, brands, and designers ranging from affordable to high end. 

This beach look represents my love for mixing it up in order to achieve the 

preppiest beach ensemble.
