Take A Walk On The Wild Side: Animal Print Footwear

{ Via: Pure Wow }

This Fall, animal prints are fierce, fun, and fabulous.  Leopard print has become a classic, but zebra, cheetah, and snake print are also having a moment. If you want to add a pop of pattern to any outfit, don't be afraid 
to go a little wild. Here are 16 chic choices.

Wild Things Collection

Nine West has an affordable chic collection of animal prints. Each pair comes in under $150.

Nine West

Stradivarius Snake Print Bootie

They are faux but pretty fabulous. And if we are really being honest, most people can not tell the difference. The color is gorgeous...wine blended with black. You'll love the price under $75

ASOS

Hunter Tall Rain Boot

Of course this iconic rain boot company has gone to the wild side. These are super fun.

Nordstrom

Sadie Ankle Boots

Retro inspired in a tortoise patent leather. These are great fun and very versatile.

Antonia Snakeskin Mule

Sleek snake. The blend of the snakeskin leather and natural wood heel makes for a chic combo.

BGBCMAXAZRIA

Kat Mary Jane Heels

In zebra hair calf with adjustable metallic leather strap, this pair is pretty!  These have the playful style of company founder Kate Spade, and will put some pep in your step.

Frances Valentine

Donna Karan Blake Bootie

A bootie that had me at that gold heel accent! Turn it around and you will see a golden zipper to match. The darkest strip of black snakeskin accents the side of the boot. I think that they look much more than the price.

Stunning in snakeskin, the Jessa gets her wow from the horse hardware. The touch of gold adds the luxe to this loafer. Save 25% with

Tuesday Trends: These Leopard Prints Are Spot On!

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

Tuesday Trends: Dialed Up Denim

{ Via: ZsaZsa Bellagio }

One of the best ways to transition to Fall is with denim. Jeans are the perfect base for sweaters and jackets. I've turned the dial for Fall and stepped up the style of my denim picks. When shopping, remember that darker denim looks dressier and more expensive. Cropped denim begs for ankle boots. Straight leg or flair are the shape of the season. Skinnies are still in, but taking a step back, unless it's the Veronica Beard Debbie (see below.) Long straight leg jeans can be beautifully dialed up with a heel...even a kitten heel. Today's post features denim that makes a statement. I promise that you don't have any of these pieces 
in your closet. 

HERE: 14 Next Level Looks

The Debbie Rhinestone Skinny
The very definition of "cool" and a perfect example of the "western" trend of the season. Talk about a Rhinestone Cowgirl!
Veronica Beard

Black Denim
Now this is how one dials it up! A sexy shirt, chic clutch, and a logo chain belt, all anchored by a black jean. You can find a similar Moschino belt on sale at Italist. See a fab collection of black denim at....
AG Jeans

Ryley Skinny Bell Jean
Now these make a statement! The Ryley is an artful upgrade with their embroidered tapestry design. The definition of boho chic. Pair a fabulous necklace from Primitive Instincts to complete the look.
Alice + Olivia

Ulla Johnson Virgil Skirt
Cinched with a flattering tie waist, this stunning skirt gives denim a feminine feel. Pre-order now at
Moda Operandi

The Waverly High Rose Crop
Race right into Fall with a stylish stripe. Add booties and a leather moto jacket and you are instantly cool!
Ralph Lauren

Michael Michael Kors Denim Look

Michael Kors

Rachel Comey Pharaoh
Different, right? Slouchy Japanese denim features classic five pocket styling and a fun lacing detail.
Need Supply

400 Skinny Moto Jean
From the Ralph Lauren Collection and priced accordingly. This is my fave of the edit. Dare to be different. Think outside of the blues.
Ralph Lauren

Embellished Pearl Ankle Jean
Polished pearls and shimmering rhinestones really dial up the glam. With 2% spandex, these jeans will stretch without losing their shape. Love the white shirt paired with this pant, too.
Beyond Boston Proper

Hellessy Romeo Silk Panel Jeans
One of my favorites of the edit. They are fun, sexy, and just have so much style.
Intermix

Romance Was Born Sequin Fringe

Denim Jacket & Jeans

Dialed up and then some! What an outfit. Stunning as a set but each piece alone makes a style statement. Would you dare? I would love to wear these!

Bergdorf Goodman

Diane Gilman Morocco

 Bootcut Jean

The Queen of designers at HSN creates denim for those who thought they couldn't rock a jean any more. Besides being comfy and flattering in her virtual stretch denim, they are certainly on trend. People rave about the fit. Honestly, I haven't tried them. They come in every size from petite - plus tall, and they are less than $70.

HSN

Frame Flounce Jacket
The flounce adds a feminine feel to a classic denim jacket. The gold buttons elevate the look even more. The seaming in the back is really quite flattering.

Neiman Marcus

Kate Spade Tweed Jacket
Polished with a twist. Perfect for girls who aren't really the denim type. The Tweed Jacket is adorable dressed up as shown, but also could be worn with jeans and a tee. The Midi Skirt will become your "go to" all season long.
