how to: wear animal print.

It’s Round 2 of our style collaboration with Tara of Mix and Match Fashion, Sara of Glitter & Grace, Jessica of Bows & Sequins!  Every other week for two months, we’re taking one theme and styling it four different ways.  This time around, we’re showing you how to style one of my favorite looks: animal print!

To me, animal print goes with everything … including more animal prints!  Leopard loafers, a cheetah-print blouse, and a tortoise-colored watch — I’ve got enough animals to start my own zoo, but they all flow together effortlessly as long as the rest of the outfit is simple.

Check out how Tara, Sara, and Jessica incorporated animal print into their looks on their blogs!

feels like fall.

As an Arizona girl born and raised, I’m amazed that it already feels like fall in September.  I’m so excited for thicker layers and darker hues, but it’s probably a little early to completely switch out my wardrobe.  So while the seasons transition, I’ll be mixing both summer and fall elements into my outfits.

how to: wear white after labor day.

I’m so excited to share a style collaboration that I’ve been working on with three beautiful bloggers: Jessica of Bows & Sequins, Tara of Mix and Match Fashion, and Sara of Glitter & Grace.  Every other Wednesday for the next two months, we’ll be taking one trend and styling it four ways.  It’ll be a fun way to challenge ourselves and hopefully give you inspiration on how to incorporate trends into your own looks.

For the first round, we’re showing you how to wear white after Labor Day.  While many people still hold onto the belief that you shouldn’t wear white after summer is over, we say break those rules!  They never made sense anyway!

For me, this challenge was the perfect time to break out the white blazer that I bought during Zara’s online summer sale.  I paired it with floral pants and black accessories for a sharp, yet flirty look.  For more, check out how Jess, Tara, and Sara will be wearing white after Labor Day over at their blogs!
