Luxe Leopard Looks

s

 Leopard prints are always classic and elegant. My favorite time of year to wear them is in the fall.  I often wear leopard as a neutral…as a pump, bag or scarf but, this season, I have found amazing clothing styles and have created these luxe leopard looks.

Our fall photoshoot was shot at MC Kitchen in the Miami Design District.  I was inspired to shoot there one evening while dining on their absolutely delicious Wild Salmon Crudo, Bibb Lettuce Salad and Center Cut Swordfish. MC Kitchen is an upscale, yet approachable, neighborhood restaurant in the Design District area of Miami. The ambiance and food make for an enjoyable evening out. They also have a charming cafe next door with delectable coffee, pastries, salads and sandwiches.

Fall 2017 Fashion Bag Edit 

When it comes to bags,  I like to invest in classic and versatile styles for everyday wear. Taupe, black and more basic shades and silhouettes. However, when it comes to fashion bags…I do not hesitate to take risks with color, prints and styling. Even though I will only wear the styles for a season or two…it is fun to add newness into my wardrobe.  These fashion bags are perfect for fall and give that extra attention to detail in your ensemble.

Fall 2017 Color Crush: Midnight Blue

As referenced in yesterday’s Fresh Fall Nail Colors post, I am loving anything that is a rich midnight blue this fall.  I like using it as a neutral as it works with a variety of colors, prints and patterns. My favorite way to wear it is to pair it with black or head-to-toe. I hope these three looks inspire your midnight blue shopping selections.

Velvet Crush

s

Velvet is one of the major fashion trends for Fall 2017. It is available in every silhouette imaginable…tops, jackets, coats, dresses, pants, shoes and handbags…you get the idea…everthing. This luxurious fabric is perfect for cooler temperatures and the rich texture gives colors an added level of depth.  I always like to wear velvet in darker colors because it creates a deep, beautiful sheen. While velvet could be tough for warmer climates, I am excited to share some of my favorite pieces that will work well in a variety of climates.

This relaxed velvet jacket from Equipment is a fantastic little number that will last for many seasons to come. This chic belted style layers beautifully with tees, tanks, blouses and lightweight sweaters. Available at www.netaporter.com.

It is pretty rare that I wear things quite this sexy, but Michelle Mason offers an amazing collection of fashion forward tops and dresses. Sooo…when the occasion calls, this Michelle Mason Asymmetric Velvet Dress is a must. While the sleeves are bare, you can just throw on a leather jacket when the weather cools. Available at www.fwrd.com.

The perfect option for warm climate residents…this velvet L’Academie x REVOLVE cami is an excellent option for fall evenings. I wore it with denim…it also works well with leather, tweed or silk pants and skirts. Once the weather is cooler, just top it off with a jacket, cardigan or coat and you can wear through all of winter.  This top is also offered in a gorgeous midnight blue.
