How to Style an Animal Print Dress

News flash: Animal print is one of this season's biggest fall fashion trends! So I'm here to show you how to style an animal print dress in case the idea freaks you out a bit. I am not typically a fan of animal print anything. I can do snakeskin, but cheetah and leopard typically makes me cringe. So when I tried out this animal print shirt dress from Trunk Club, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I love, love, loved it! The fabric is oh-so-silky and I'm just a sucker for a great shirt ...

Seeing Stripes

Mixing prints has never been easier. Meet, the NYDJ Stacy dress... {Dress: c/o NYDJ. Bag: Rebecca Minkoff (similar). Shoes: L.A.M.B} Really though, this is exactly how easy "mixing" prints should be. I love how wearable yet visually interesting this NYDJ Stacy dress is. You may have heard of NYDJ as one of the cult denim brands Oprah loves. Their patented slimming tech promises to shrink to the point that you need to order one size smaller (I did) and they hold up their end of the ... View the Post

Canola Fields

Feeling free... {Dress: Target. Necklace: Alexis Bittar. Bracelet: Kate Spade. Earrings: Kate Spade. Headband: (Similar)} Last week, we packed up our things and took a vacation to visit the family in Canada.

Last week, I finally took myself to a Pea in the Pod for a bit of maternity shopping. For the most part, I haven't bought a whole lot.

This top from Pea in the Pod was so cheeky and cute though, it just had to come home with me. {Tee: A Pea in the Pod. Jeans: ASOS Maternity (non-maternity here). Wedges: Burberry (similar) Purse: c/o Pompidoo} That ... View the Post

Cream Lace Maternity Dress

Hello, baby. {Dress: c/o Pink Blush Maternity (non-maternity similar). Bag: Louis Vuitton. Shoes: old (similar). Necklace: similar} This cream lace maternity dress just screams spring to me, plus it's comfy and stretchy. It also comes in a pretty dusty rose color and a black version with a skinny belt. But I love how creative you can get accessorizing around a basic ivory dress. It's a great foundation piece for any maternity wardrobe and is easy to style. If you're pregnant in the ...

Fortunate Finds

{Skirt: BCBG MaxAzria (similar). Bag: c/o Stuart Weitzman. Earrings: c/o Kendra Scott Jewelry. Pendant Necklace: c/o Kendra Scott Jewelry. Belt: BCBG MaxAzria} This BCBG black maxi skirt is one of those fashion items that completely took me by surprise. Before the Prada party a few weeks ago, I did a little pre-event shopping. I never would have picked it up off the hanger but saw a gal in the dressing room with this gorgeous, black maxi skirt with thigh-high slits on either side and had ... View the Post
