Okay, so I’ll be completely honest here: I don’t really do country and I don’t do rodeos.  Truth is, I once bought a pair of cowboy boots … and then only wore them once.  Needless to say, I’m much more of a city girl that is occasionally inspired by the country spirit.  So maybe my interpretation involves sequin and leopard — would you expect anything less?

By now, you all know my love for leopard.  Well, meet tortoise: leopard’s more subtle, but still equally cool cousin.  It’s nothing new, but the print has been popping up in accessories everywhere this fall and I ain’t mad.  A touch of tortoise and a dash of gold make for an ultra luxe combo.  Check out a few of my favorite pieces!

There’s something undeniably classic about a pair of jeans and a crisp, white button-up, but, as you may have noticed, my definition of classic is anything but plain.  My basics usually involve playful patterns and unexpected combinations and this outfit definitely delivers a twist on otherwise timeless pieces.  Polka dot and leopard?  They’re the new neutrals!
