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!

Friends, let me introduce you to my latest shopping discovery: Le Tote!  It’s a site that gives you access to an unlimited closet.  Think chic little boutique meets Netflix.  For a monthly fee, Le Tote sends you a package of three garments and two accessories based on your style profile.  You can rock them for as long as you like or send them back and get a new selection as many times as you want over the course of the month!

When I opened up my first Le Tote, I was giddy to find this orange graphic print dress in the selection.  Bright color, bold print — there’s no denying that this dress is totally me.  It was the perfect dress for a day of exploring downtown with the bf, followed by drinks with this cutie.

fall essentials: moody florals.

Last weekend, I stored away most of my bright summer pieces while pondering how I could continue to incorporate my favorite prints through the rest of the year.  While my fall outfits will likely involve faux leather or leopard, floral prints will still stake a claim in this season’s wardrobe.  The difference: I’m reaching for moodier florals in darker colors and edgier details.  Check out a few of my favorite fall florals and let me know what you think of these transitional pieces.
