LOOK OF THE WEEK – PREPPY LEOPARD

by Leave a Comment

My obsession with leopard print is neverending.  When someone asks me my favorite color, I teasingly {well... seriously... it just hasn't been approved as an official color yet} reply, "Leopard print."  It's easy to pull of this look during the evening hours after the sun has sunk below the horizon and the boldness of the print is offset by the dim nighttime glow.  However, I feel that leopard ...

The sauciness of leopard print is appropriate for daytime when paired with a preppy loose-fitting oxford.

CURRENT OBSESSION – WILLIAM RAST

Yes, it all started with one simple {okay... not so simple...} purchase: a cream leather jacket embellished with ruffles and zippers that fit me like it was literally custom made {see the full outfit here}.  And, right then and there, William Rast stole my heart {that's the name of this fashion line}.  I am now thoroughly obsessed with everything that William Rast has available.  They have a way ...

LOOK OF THE WEEK – GLAM GREASE

I was having one of those "Bad Sandy" kind of days... the kind of day where this good girl wanted just enough edge {but not too much!}... so I threw on some cigarette pants {buy a pair... now... I have a feeling this trend is on its way back in} and some red lipstick and sauntered {strutted?!} my way through the afternoon.   1. Barton Perreira Faithful $395 2. Oliver Peoples Limited ...

LOOK OF THE WEEK – URBAN SAFARI

by 2 Comments

I featured my Fabulous Four - Safari Summer Edition {found here} earlier this week... and I thought that it was only proper that I back up my claim that "tan is not boring."  This outfit showcases the idea behind the Urban Safari look... it's a bit wild {leopard print}, a bit unexpected {with the monochromatic focus}, and chic {with its clean silhouettes and leather touches}.  Add in something fun ...

Every city girl has an inner wild child... express it with a very wild print... and a chic city-like monochromatic focus.
