If you've been following along for a while then you know that blue is my favorite color. Whether we're talking navy blue, light blue or any shade in between, blue is a common thread that runs through most of my wardrobe. Combine that love with my love of stripes, ruffles and checks, and you have a love affair that will no doubt last a lifetime. Needless to say, I couldn't be happier that these things seem to be joining forces everywhere this season, so today I've rounded up some of my favorites that are available now - with a few inspired by my newest Zara shirt seen here.
