Leopard is Neutral

Leopard, and animal print in general, is something that I’ve always liked in small doses but never really incorporated into my wardrobe. After including a little bit of leopard in my What I’m [Surprisingly] Coveting for Fall 2011 post and actually purchasing my first leopard piece, an Alexander McQueen leopard print wrap bracelet, I’m finally giving in. After all…leopard IS neutral.

Check out my favorite [tasteful] leopard picks below. (remember, leopard can sometimes look cheap so make sure it’s a tasteful piece!)

Current Obsession: Dolce & Gabbana Star Print iPhone Case

If you keep up with me on Twitter you’ve probably figured out by know my obsession with the Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2011 collection. Dolce & Gabbana has never really been a go-to brand for me but they knocked it out of the park for this season. I already own the star-print dress (seen here) but there are so many other star printed items I’m dying to have from the collection. If I have the chance to purchase anything else from Dolce & Gabbana Fall ’11, it would be this…

And while I’m at it, why not pick up the star-print clutch…right? 🙂

Spring 2012 Trend: Bandeau Tops

Last week I shared with you the new sheer skirt trend for Spring 2012, and after viewing the collections from Milan…there’s another trend coming to town. Bandeau tops were all over the runways for Milan Fashion Week (and not the kind you wear under sheer tops). These are detailed, meant to be seen, bandeau tops worn with both pants and skirts. Some were shown with jackets and some without (I’d personally recommend a jacket) but this is another trend I’m curious to see whether or not it will translate to the streets. What do you think?

My New York Fashion Week Street Style Looks

I was so excited to find out the other day that I was photographed by Tommy Ton for Style.com on my first day at fashion week in New York! It was even for a special project where you can shop the looks of various street style photos.

Overall, I was beyond honored to have these amazing photographers like my outfits enough to photograph me for their blog/website. I dress for me, but it’s always appreciated when others like my outfits too 🙂
