mauricio alpizar: SS13.

This past Monday, I was invited to attend the fashion presentation for Mauricio Alpizar’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection.  Needless to say, as a little ol’ style blogger from Arizona, I was so excited to be attending my first NYFW event!  Not bad for my second week living in NYC, don’t you think?

The collection was chock full of my favorite things: sparkles, prints, and bright colors — not to the mention the gorgeously styled hair on all of the models!  Bold jewelry offset delicate pastel colors perfectly, but I’m pretty sure the sequined bolero (see above) stole the show.  What do you guys think?

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!

play it cool.

The weather is cooling down in NYC and I’m starting to rotate in longer sleeves, warmer layers, and thicker textures like tweed.  Color is definitely still a mainstay in my wardrobe and this blue and turquoise combo definitely reflects my excitement of the cooler temps to come.
