Animal Print Is HOT for SPRING!

I don't know about you, but I usually relate animal print to a pattern that I mostly wear in the fall and winter for some reason. I think that it is because of it's colors of rich browns and golds like in the skirt I am wearing from Talbots in the photo above. Normally in the fall and winter I might pair this with a brown turtleneck, brown tights and brown boots. But since spring has officially arrived, (and you could have fooled me on that one!) I decided to pair it with a cute denim blouse from Newport News and a metallic belt. I also wanted a little bit of color so I threw some red into the mix. Kind of a burgundy scarlet like red. I also would not hesitate to pair this skirt with a nicely fitted white blouse worn under a cute fitted denim blazer. 
Animal prints in accessories are also on trend at the moment and I especially love this very cool utility style cross body bag created by Gwen Stefani for L.A.M.B. (photo on the left is of the chic and divine Gwen Stefani herself)

GORGEOUS! These two looks from Dolce & Gabbana really put me over the edge! Look how antiquishly elegant and modern! (I think I just made up the word antiquishly. It means antique/vintage like ;)
This animal print cotton twill coat by Tibi is another one of my most favorite things. You can find this beauty on NET-A-PORTER.COM

Louis Vuitton Spring ready-to-wear line was my true inspiration for this blog post as well as for my personal look at the top of this page. You must view this fashion show to get the full effect. (see below)

What a circus! I love everything about this collection. The colors, the shiny fabrics, the shimmery tinsel, the Spainish and oriental influence. But you must watch it through to the end or you will miss my favorite panda bear look in motion! (see the photo below)

Fashion Is For Models. STYLE Is For Real Women.

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? The one on display looks different!" The clerk tells me that it is in fact the same shoe. Suddenly, I don't want to try it on anymore. So, I just want to tell all you ladies out there who are not a size 4 in a dress that I get it. But we can't let it bother us.  Fashion is everywhere and marketing is everywhere and the majority of it is big beautiful pictures of skinny people. Keep in mind, models in magazines have the b...

FALL for Flowers!

{Leifsdottir Alegrias tiered floral skirt} Totally unpredictable and completely cool. Flowers for fall are exactly what you need to take your "I miss summertime" blues away. There are no rules in fashion. It's just about achieving a look that is your best and that you feel good in. Who says plaid is the only print you can wear in the fall? Now, don't get me wrong. Plaid is one of my favorite patterns. So maybe we can mix them together! {See below} Flower patterns are fun and so glamorous during any season. Just make your floral skirts a little more fall like by wearing a pair of colorful tights! Can you say FLOWER POWER?! And we are going to need some major FLOWER POWER especially when the temperature begins to drastically drop. {Christopher Kane ~ garden leather mini skirt} {Carolina Herrera}

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...
