The fashion world has always favored skinny models to show off the latest trends. But it's the real women who actually buy them. Why does this make sense? Well I guess when it comes right down to the brutal truth, people buy things that look good. And lets face it, clothes look better when they are smaller. It's kind of like when I go into a store to try on shoes and the one on display that I am attracted to is a size 6 or 7 and then the sales clerk brings out my size (9 or 9/2) and I'm like "That's not the same shoe, is it?

Note to self: When you have a feeling that something is timeless, you should buy it! That's what I am telling myself these days after regretting my decision to not purchase anything in the gorgeous Ikat print last spring!

Sort of reminds be of being an African Queen. Ikat prints also give off that cool hippy chic boho vibe. Nichole Richie's look that her sensational stylist Rachel Zoe created for her is a perfect example of this. (See bottom photo.)
This is one of my favorite Ikat print pieces from this season by a designer named Matthew Williamson. You really should see his whole collection. STUNNING! http://www.matthewwilliamson.com/.
This scarf by Yarnz is just beautiful and you would be able to just throw this on and look like you know what you're doing. Not that I don't think you do already;)
To the bottom left we have a very sweet and affordle top by Style & Co. available at Macy's $31.50. And this adorable skirt is a little something I found on Etsy by a seller named Persephonevinta $39.99. And last but certainly not least is this fabulous clutch by Felix Rey. STUNNING!
