Purrfect Leopard Accents

Good morning loves! It is nice to have some sunshine after a few days of rainstorms. I am really excited about this year! So many good things happening already:-) So how is your new year starting off? 

 

I am wearing my signature animal print. In my world, a touch of leopard, tiger, or cheetah is always Purrrrrrfect...

 

I have a great love of animal print and I love it as an accent piece to different items in my wardrobe.  Animal print is a classic and a neutral that can be worn with anything and it always gives an outfit a little extra pizzazz. Do you agree? My ensemble of a  red blazer and a black dress is classic, but the animal print scarf adds that special something to an otherwise very conservative and classic look.

The right pair of ankle boots adds a nice modern edge to

 a skirt or dress.

Sunshine

Hi Loves! It has been a month since my last blog post, but I really needed a vacation. These photos are from a couple of weeks ago, but I was just too busy to post them.  Looking forward to a fun summer with my son who is on summer vacation at the end of the week. The weather has been very strange lately. Dark, cloudy and overcast with no hint of the sun until well into the day. Yellow always makes me think of springtime and it is definitely one of my happy colors.

 I love jewelry and I think the silver is a great accent against yellow

You all know about my animal print obsession

I am so excited about summer. Lots of great things happening!

Have an amazing week!

Connect the Dots...

Happy Monday Loves! I had a great weekend! I hope you did too. The weather has been amazing, the days are longer and I can taste spring. I am feeling joyful indeed. I always love an opportunity to get dolled up and I recently went to an event where I got to wear this cute flirty polka dot dress. I love dots, stripes and animal print. I did a bit of pattern mixing by combining my animal print clutch with my polka dots. It is a pattern clash, but I think it works:-)

 I had so much fun taking these photos that I hope you don't mind that this post is a little more picture heavy than usual:-)

Everything's coming up roses:-)

I love the unusual way this clutch is made. You can find some great stuff on Ebay. I have had this clutch for years, but it is still one of my favorites

 

Have an amazing day!

Classic Trench

Hey loves! Happy Monday and hello March! They say it never rains in California, but every once in a while, we get a little much needed rain. My weekend was busy, but fun. So much going on, so many exciting projects I am working on and so many great new people are coming into my life. So happy that we are heading into spring and March will be a hectic month indeed, but one of the things I am looking forward to the most this month is my son's birthday:-)

Spring is on the horizon, but since we got a bit of rain it gave me a chance to wear my trench coat and boots. I had actually started packing away my winter attire, but weather in California can be unpredictable at times. I think a classic trench coat is a staple item that every woman should have in her wardrobe. What do you think?

 I love the way this green looks against the animal print on my bag

Whenever I wear a trench coat and a hat, it reminds me of how private investigators used to dress, LOL

Walking into some new things! 

Have an amazing day!

Leopard Love

Happy Monday Loves! Time flies when you are busy. Are you excited about Valentines Day?

I am looking so forward to it. I have a very busy weekend starting with a brunch get together with friends, and then my Valentines tradition of taking my son on a date and then there is time set aside for me to enjoy a Valentines Day celebration of my own with Mystery Man. What are your plans?

If you have been following my blog awhile or you know me offline, then you know how much I love animal print of all kinds. I love to accent my wardrobe with a little meow mix:-) Do you like animal print? Today I am wearing a neutral palette with a pop of color from my shoes. The duster I am wearing is one of favorites because it is a simple and timeless cut. I still remember when my aunt bought this for me from Bergdorf Goodman when I was visiting her in New York. Every time I wear this duster I think about New York.

I think these shoes are the perfect punctuation mark on any outfit

I am participating in a fun shoe link up with: Style Nudge  
and a link up with Not Dead Yet Style
Be sure to stop over and join in the fun:-)

Are you a fan of neutral color palettes?

Camel is definitely one of my favorite neutral colors

I am already imagining the Valentines Day cupcakes me and my son are going to have:-)

It has been awhile, but now I am back to posting recipes. I am always making things, but sometimes I am just way to busy to take photographs and blog everything I cook. I have been making a lot more salads recently and enjoying green smoothies and lots of water with fresh fruit, but I certainly love to indulge every now and again and especially on weekends:-)

Have an amazing week!
