Red

Red is the great clarifier-bright and revealing. I can’t imagine becoming bored with red, it would be like becoming bored with the person you love.

There is just something about the color red. When you put it on, you just feel something.

Leather Mix

Touches of leather are what this outfit is all about. It just makes everything instantly edgy and chic, especially when paired with sneakers and a varsity jacket. My version of tomboy chic.

I decided to bend the rules a little bit, and wear my leather skirt with sneakers. I like it.

le beret

This little round wool hat is a favorite accessory of mine during the fall and winter seasons. It has been a long time staple in my wardrobe and something I look forward to using over and over and over again. Simple, timeless, chic, and the bonus is; it provides an instant fix to a laid back hair day. What could be better? Here are a few style icons who must have felt the same way about LE BERET.

Pieces of Leopard

I love to wear pops of leopard print, there is always something so chic and pulled together when leopard is involved. For some reason when I wear leopard anything, I always have a little bit bit of a feisty feeling and a pep in my step, anyone else feel that way about it?

Here are some recent outfits that I have added a little touch of leopard too. As a matter of fact, I think I have touched base on this subject before, found here in this old post.
