(500) days of zooey deschanel

so i finally got around to watching (500) days of summer this weekend, starring the lovely zooey deschanel, and i loved it! there were a lot of things i liked about the movie – the story, the directing, the music (just bought the soundtrack), and of course – the fashion. zooey deschanel’s character was very “50′s chic.” she wore soft colors, like powder blue, and conservative dresses and skirts.

if i knew summer in real life, i would recommend she check out the online shop at UK based store, toast. the clothes from toast are modern, with a hint of vintage, and in fun prints.

floral and stripes are hot trends for this spring and summer. usually it gets to be too much if you pair two trends together in one outfit..but floral and stripes are simple enough trends that mixing them together totally works. it’s what i’m wearing today actually – i have paired this shirt with a black and white striped cardigan. here are some examples of floral and stripe pieces you could easily pair together for a trendy outfit:

striped fitted blazer: BOAZ

floral gypsy top: Stacie May

floral print blouse: modaspia

striped tulip skirt: Erika Hendrix
