Squeeze of Orange

Staple Used: Floral Jeans
Stripes and florals go oh so well together. The trick to mixing the prints is staying in the same color family. So I went for a taupe look, adding a pop of color with a squeeze of orange at my feet.

Ask Sydne: Where Can I Find Floral Jeans Under $100

Sydne — Tue, 15 May 2012 21:31:07 +0000

Do you have any info on finding a pair of fabulous floral jeans under $100? —K. Lynne

The floral jean trend is so popular that you can find a pair at any price point. If you have a little more money to spend, check out my options here and here. If not, here are my top three online retailers to find more affordable florals:

1. Topshop
My faves are the Jamie jeans ($90). For a more Hawaiian feel try the Leigh ($80) or go for a more understated print with the 7/8ths ($84).

2. ASOS
I’m really digging the dark denim in ASOS’s floral print #4 ($60.88). But it also comes in a lighter color ($60.88). Prefer something more subtle? Try the Johann Earl denim pant ($90.45).

3. Delia’s
Delia’s has an awesome deal right now: buy one, get the other 50% off! So why not go for the floral print ($39.50) and the rose print ($39.50)? You can buy both for under $100.

Happy shopping!

Camel Rose

Staple Used: Floral Jeans
This outfit happened by accident. I was visiting the Citizens of Humanity showroom in a camel sweater, regular wash jeans and mint heels. I tried on this pair floral denim and realized how much better I looked with a monochromatic pairing. It really helps elongate the body. Don’t you just love when outfits perfectly fall into place?

Have you been tuning into Style Network? If so, you might have seen me talking about shoes. I teamed up with DSW to dish about the latest footwear trends for spring. As you can see through my Instagram shots above (I’m @sydnesummer if you’re not following) we had such a blast on set!

And keeping in line with the shoe trends, I played around with color when it came to my outfit…J. Crew shirt (seen here 3 ways), vintage belt, Club Monaco skirt, Robyn Brooks bangle, Ever After Necklace and On the Mark Necklace c/o Stella & Dot, Coach shoes

Hollywood Picnic

Sydne — Mon, 14 May 2012 15:00:18 +0000

Staple Used: Floral Jeans
Floral jeans are perfect for a picnic. They scream spring and the print hides grass stains and dirt oh so well. I tied on a denim shirt and added a pop of color with my handbag to sip rosé with friends at Wattles Mansion. A polka dot basket filled with cheese and crackers brought in the mixed prints trend.
