Leo + Camo

I finally wore pants!!! Woohoo! It decided to cool off enough to actually warrant putting on pants. I can't believe I'm actually excited about that. I'm usually all about dresses, but I'm ready for Fall now and so ready for the hot weather to take a hike.
But back to being able to wear pants, I have been eager to break out my camo pants for awhile now. So it had to be the first pair I wore this Fall. And why not pair it with one of Fall's hottest neutral...LEOPARD. If I had to name one Fall must-have it would be leopard shoes. Anything from flats to heels, every woman needs a pair. I may have every kind of leopard shoe. It makes for a great neutral yet makes a bold statement.
I absolutely adore these leopard heels because of the t-strap. I found them on brand spanking new on Poshmark for a steal and I couldn't help myself. But I made the mistake of wearing these heels to Big Sis's dance class the other day and when we had to go in and see the little girls, I had to stand closest to the entrance and refrain from walking around so I wouldn't ruin the dance floors. The ONE day I decide to actually wear heels to watch dance practice is the day they have to invite the mom's in. Just great! I guess I'll be sticking to flats or wedges for dance class.

Sporting a Leather Cap 2 Ways

So my good friend Bianca over at Lotus Blossom Design had me re-thinking my ban against baseball caps. All Summer long I lived in my Panama hat and my big floppy sun hats. But now that it's officially Fall it's time to find a new hat for the season. And I've been seeing a lot of faux leather baseball caps. But I've always kept a distance from them because I swear I look like an Asian tourist and well that's not the cutest look. However, after seeing how cute B looked in her's I thought I would give it a second chance. So after dropping Big Sis off at preschool, Baby Sis and I ran our errands and did our typical mall crawl. And I stumbled upon this lovely bordeaux faux leather cap. It was love at first sight. I loved that it wasn't your typical black faux leather, and don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with that. I just felt like black faux leather was a little too edgy for my taste, but the rich wine color just called out to me. Gave it a try, and off to the register we went. Long story, short, I've been pretty much living in it all weekend. Can't get enough of this hat. I've literally been planning my outfits around it. Which leads me to today's look(s). I decided since I had so much wearing it all weekend, I would share with you guys 2 different ways to style a faux leather baseball cap.

WIW: Sisterhood of the Traveling Isabels

So excited to finally be doing a collaboration with one of my best gal pals, Bianca of Lotus Blossom Design. She's stylish, sassy and so bad for my wallet. HAHA! The girl talked me into starting our very own version of the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" late one night. And so what happens, we both splurge and go in on these amazing Isabel Marant printed jeans all while we're both in bed, on opposite coasts. Perks of having a friend who's the same size, down fall, girl moved across the country a few months ago.

Now that you know our back story, we wanted to share with you all 2 different ways to style these fabulous printed jeans. I kept my look casual for an evening of shopping while B, got all dolled up in hers. How adorbs is she!? You all may remember my outfit from the Old Navy Blogger Event, now you can find out all the details about this look. And get the deets on Bianca's look at Lotus Blossom Design.

WIW: Fourth of July + Weekend Recap

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed your long weekend off. We definitely enjoyed all the festivities, which is why I didn't blog the last half of the week. But I'm back and down to business. First off, Congratulations to Shuly B! She's the lucky lady who'll be receiving the gorgeous floral bangle from Lotus Blossom Design. I hope you enjoy styling your bangle. And thank you to all who entered! Now on to what I wore for this red, white and blue holiday. Anchors and stripes seemed fitting for the day.

WIW: Fanciful Floral

So you all may think I'm crazy, but I love these pants! I really do! I've been considering trying the tapered pant trend for some time. I wasn't too sure about this type of pant and how it would actually look on, but after trying them on I decided that I liked them. I found these cobalt blue ones at Forever 21 and for under $20.

I love going to Forever 21 when I'm considering trying a trend that I'm not too sure of. I don't like to splurge on trends that I can't wear all the time. And I love these pants but it's definitely not something that can be worn frequently. Being as I'm only 5'4, I will always have to wear these with heels otherwise I'll just look like a frumpy midget. The cut of these pants make you appear hippier then in actuality, which shortens the legs so the need for heels with these pants is necessary.

And in the midst of looking for these pants, I stumbled across this pretty floral tank. I basically tried on this entire look in the fitting room and fell in love with the whole outfit. I loved how the floral top made these pants look fancier. It's perfect for Summer nights out when I don't feel like wearing a dress [my usual go-to].

OMG! How amazing are those shoes?! I stumbled across these thanks to Laura over at Walking in Memphis in High Heels. They're fabulous dupes for the Valentino Rockstud pumps and they're from Shoedazzle. I've shopped with Shoedazzle in the past, but for the most part try to stay away from their site only because I would buy everything at the prices they offer and the super fast free shipping. Last year they had very similar ones that sold out, but these ones recently became available and I immediately snatched a pair up as soon as Laura said she just bought them.

WIW: My New Favorite Summer Must-Have

Earlier in the week, I showed you a tunic look featuring this denim vest and here it is again. I found this vest during American Eagle's Memorial Day weekend sale. I've been looking for a great fitting one for a while now. So this was a great find. I've seen many budget friendly ones at Target and Forever 21 but they either didn't have my size, the fit was off, or the color just wasn't what I wanted. But now that I've found it, it has been in heavy rotation. If you are looking for a great sturdy denim vest check out American Eagle since it's not yet available online.

WIW: Insipired By MK & Ashley

I was inspired to put together this look after seeing my favorite fashionable twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen sporting a similar look. I've always been admirer of the Olsen twins fashion choices, even the homeless look somehow just works on them. Luckily this was a little less homeless looking then their usual and definitely a look I can work all Summer long.

What's integral to any Summer attire? A pair of Daisy Dukes. I think I own at least a dozen or more different pairs in various shades and levels of destroyed-ness. Don't think that's a word, but you get what I mean. I can't remember a Summer where I didn't live in denim cut-off shorts. They work with everything and are just so darn comfortable when it's so uncomfortably hot. And this season I'm glad to see denim shorts in longer lengths too. I don't discriminate against longer inseams, in fact I'm actually a huge fan of them.

However, for this Inspired By look, the shortie shorts did the trick. I thought it would be fun to switch it up a bit and wear my polka dot denim shorts. These shorts are just fun and were a steal last Fall for only $12 at American Eagle.

WIW: Seahorses + Stripes

If you've been following me on Instagram, then this top may be familiar. I recently found this adorable seahorse printed shirt at Target. I knew I just had to have it. The pink seahorses were too cute to resist. I've already found myself wanting to wear this shirt everyday. I just can't help myself but to be drawn to this fun print, especially since I love print mixing.

Sorry, I don't have some better up close shots of this outfit. We were attempting to keep the girls on the lawn while taking these pictures. Haha!
