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!

Bright colors will always be my jam, but lately, I’ve been gravitating more towards black and white.  The combo is effortlessly sophisticated.  It’s chic on its own, or the perfect canvas for a pop of color (see yesterday’s outfit for proof).  Check out a few of my favorite black and white pieces and let me know how you style up the color duo.
