Animal Crackers

Next week I'll do some gift guides for the holidays, but I'm asking for your help! Leave a comment or shoot me an email requesting who you need a gift for; example: the nerdy secretary, the fashionable coworker, the boss, you name it, I will do my best to deliver!

Alright, back to business, today we're looking at animal print. Not the usual leopard or snakeskin, but rather an image of an animal. Let me explain.

Asos, Elizabeth Lau Dog and Bone Sweater, $92

How adorable is this sweater? It's quirky and cozy in all the best ways.

You may be thinking, sweatshirt? Come on. But layer a white oxford under this and add a collar necklace. Instant chic!

The Limited, Bird Print Peasant Blouse, $34

I love this print, but you know what I love more? The dot cuffs. That's right, how sweet is that?

So give the leopard print a break this season and try animal graphic that is big and centered or a smaller repetitive print.

Pretty in Quilt

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I hope you had a great weekend. Today I thought we would start the week off with something soft. A nice soft pink but with a twist- quilted. The quilted trend is really interesting because on one end of the spectrum you have the classic Chanel quilted look but on the other you have the casual sweatshirt style. I love this dichotomy. Let's look at some blush quilted picks.

H&M, Biker Jacket, $49

Not what you expected, am I right? Girly meets biker.

Forever 21, Quilted Knit Sweater, $19

This sweater can be dressed up with a button down and statement necklace or wear as is with bf jeans.

PacSun, Madden Girl x Kendall & Kylie Empiiree Shoes, $49

Slip on sneaks are all the rage this fall. These are a great neutral option.

Nordstrom, Two by Vince Camuto Zip Detail Cable Quilted Sweater, $99

A quilted cable pattern is different and the zipper detail makes this blush a little less feminine.

The quilted trend can run from the ultra-spendy tot he comfy sweatshirt and that is a trend I love. Anyone can get on board and in these blush hues, it's an easy mix in to your wardrobe.
