These shorts are one of my favorite pair. I actually did a similar post wearing a horizontal stripe top HERE. I got them at the W Hotel in Times Square during a fashion event. I really wanted to pair this striped top with a patterned or floral bottom (skirt/short) like in this post. Check out some other patterned/floral shorts I've got my eye on for Spring here, here and here.

While at Fashion Night at the W Hotel I went shopping in the ultra chic W Boutique Store (On the 7th Floor), I bought a wonderful necklace and this awesome pair of Dolce Vita shorts. As soon I saw them I knew I could rock them with some tights and black boots and stripes. I saw the outfit flash in my head. The print is was really sucked me in to these gorgeous shorts. They are perfect staple for Late Winter, Spring and Summer!

I've seen a lot of mixing and matching whether it be florals and stripes, color blocking or mixing of patterns. I love stripes with just about anything, but this is my first attempt at mixing and matching. I loved how it turned out. Glad I also got to wear one of my new favorite pair of earrings from Mango. 

Mango has awesome jewelry and its really affordable. Who would have thunk it? I didn't even know they had an online store until I had to hunt these earrings down.

So what do you all think of mixing prints and patterns?

Fashion Night at the W Hotel

Malik Williams "The Stylist" hosted a fantastic event at the W Hotel last night in NYC. I went with my friends Sheena and Stephanie. It was great to mingle and network with lots of people in the industry. There were tons of stylist, up and coming designers and models. The atmosphere was Fashion Chic to the bone and I enjoyed myself. The highlight of my night was discovering that on the 7th Floor of the W Hotel Times Square lies a boutique giftshop. Now this wasn't just any old gift shop. This boutique was filled with designer one of a kind jewelry, dolce vita, BB dakota and just a mind boggling amount of cocktail rings. Of course I couldn't leave without buying something!

Me, Sheena and Stephanie

Stephanie with designers Brucling and Robot. They design an awesome line of bow-ties. Check them out www.robotandbrucling.com

The space was very creative with large blown up model photography, a runway show being played on a wall, soft lighting, and just a plethora of fashion!

As soon as I walked through this store...(I was told by a worker of the venue that I had to walk through a store to get to the bathroom) I was in retail heaven! I didn't make it to the bathroom until I wanted to try on a dress!

Sheena looking around at all the great merchandise in the store. My good friend Sheena is rocking a thrifted dress. I love her style btw. She's a real thrifting fashionista.

Super happy I finally got to wear my Mango earrings!

My goody bag from The W Store. So check out the cool stuff I bought at the W Hotel Times Square (7th Floor)

So far this Fashion Week has been nonstop for me. I've barely slept the past 3 days. I'm super tired and I'm going to try to get a nap in at some point this evening because tonight I'm partying at Griffin. Tomorrow is another fashion show and Monday I'm going to claim some free gifts I received at IFB Conference (Stay tuned for my gift bag post). Monday I'm also maybe (crossing my fingers) going to get some access to the shows at Lincoln Center. OMG!!! So what do you all think of my purchases?

XOXO
