Wild About Leopard!

Seeing spots never gets old with me, and apparently not with fashion designers either. The Fall 2014 runways were heavy on this classically chic pattern. It's ladylike and fun at the same time.  This primal print pairs well with black, khaki and red.  So, to share my animal attraction to leopard, I went on the prowl. Let's see what I found.

Fall Trend: Swinging Sixties. Can You Dig It?

(Via Elle)

The Sixties were a breakout decade for fashion.  I barely remember most of it, but Twiggy was my role model for all things Mod Squad and beyond into the seventies.  So I was excited to see this trend of mini skirts, knee high boots, and flower power.  Grounded in clean lines, geometric shapes, bold colors and minimalism, this is one groovy trend.

What fun! Ponte knit adds substance to the bow-bedecked sheer overlay on this chic little dress.

Fall For Fringe

(Via Stephanie Fishwick)

I am loving Fall's "fringe benefits in fashion." In fact, I have always loved fringe, and have a few good but old pieces in my closet - a vintage Chanel bag, great Armani trousers, and a silk dress with fringe. If you do, too, it's time to take them out! Fringe adds instant flair and flirtiness to any outfit. It also nods towards Western, but I shy away from the cowgirl look.  For 2014, fringe takes on a global chic vibe.  In my hunt for all things fringed and fabulous, I found many good pieces, and the edit was not easy. The most wonderful fringed finds were also the most expensive.  I tried, folks. So let's think investment pieces!

My Fringed Finds For Fall
