Spring Trend: Le Polka Dots

Every couple of years polka dots pop up. This season some of the biggest names in fashion have included the dot in their Spring collections.  The polka dot historically had a preppy vibe. This Spring they have taken on a sophisticated and whimsical look. I'm loving it. Scroll down to find a style with your name on it!

As seen on Mandy Moore at the 2019 Emmys. This gown is exceptionally polka dot pretty. Too bad it is sold out now, but I can see why.

Tuesday Trends: These Leopard Prints Are Spot On!

{ Via: Vogue }

How was your holiday weekend? Our Labor Day was rained out, for the most part, so I decided to work. Loving leopard as I do, today's post was not a chore.  By now, leopard has made a permanent place for itself in fashion. No longer a trend, really. It's as chic as a crisp white shirt. And like a white shirt, it's a neutral to be worn with everything. 

HERE: 14 Leopard Looks To Love

DVF Double Breasted Crop Jacket

Diane Von Furstenberg played with patterns for Fall. In doing so, she certainly has made both leopard and plaid look fresh and contemporary.

DVF 

 Collared Shirt
With a metallic thread, this beauty of a blouse gives a fabulous shine to everything. It's well suited for your workwear wardrobe or for casual pants.
Diane Von Furstenberg

Ava Belt Bag

Yes, belt bags are still a thing. This style is simple but sensational in leather and haircalf.
Rebecca Minkoff

Mendoza Jacket
This cool cover up can be worn two ways, as the sleeves are detachable! The leather and fur patches create a 
chic fun jacket.

Free People

Leopard Travel Pants

Figure flattering and perfectly packable, these pants will get you where you are going in style! The secret to looking and feeling as good when you arrive, as when you left are the elastic waist and 5% spandex.

Beyond Proper

Nolita Genuine Shearling Clutch

If you can't commit to an all over animal print, a bag is an easy but chic choice. Thacker's design is just so fun with the terrific tassel and the bracelet-like carry handle. I love it when you can hold your bag and a wine glass 

at the same time!

Nordstrom

The Haze Bootie

It's hard to find a boot with so much style for under $100. The pointy toe elongates the leg, and the bow back adds some sass.

Betsey Johnson

Tippi Sweater With Leopard Collar

Wild about this wool sweater! Proof that even just a little leopard makes a statement.

J. Crew

Adidas by Stella McCarney 

Ultraboost X

Give your workout a boost with some beastly edge. You'll be spotted for your good taste and take charge moves.

Zappos Luxury

Gianni Leopard Print Rain Coat

Marvelous in a matte vinyl, you'll look quite chic on a rainy day wearing this fun frock.

Need Supply

Rene Silky Midi Skirt & Blouse

A very feminine and chic look that will take you from the boardroom to the bistro. Each piece sold separately.

Pixie Market

Stuart Weitzman Mira Mules

A fabulous transitional shoe made from dyed haircalf! Love how it is styled here.
