Do it like a dude...

One thing i have always admired is the simplicity of men's clothing and fashion. How he needs on average three items of clothing to look as good as you will after several minutes of layering, accessorizing and primping up is only one thing to me; inspiring. If i could get dressed (and look nice) just as easily i would have enough time on my hands to stop global warming(or at least try). Men's wear  has since the beginning of time been mirrored in women's fashion. What i love about these two opposites is when they come together to create the perfect balance; just cute enough to be feminine while still being powerful with those clean lines and tough textures. I mean we are too old to be dressing like high school tomboys but nothing gives a hot rough edge to an uber feminine outfit like some loafers or oxfords or a great leather biker jacket. Versatile pieces are key in every girl's closet and mens wear inspired items like a boyfriend blazer in a neutral color can easily go from work to a night out or a weekend shopping spree.

into the wild!!!

I have always been a big fan of animal print and i love that it never gets out of season. Granted it can be tricky to pull it off at the risk of looking tacky but if you just remember to keep it minimal as the prints are bold and NEVER MIX PRINTS!!! you're on uy way to being the 'Queen of the Jungle!!!' Here's some great pieces i found...
