Leopard, Fall transition to Holiday and more…

Welcome November, I would like to say I am fully OBSESSED with leopard print and how it makes me feel.

If you haven’t noticed … Leopard is everywhere and I am completely obsessed.  It’s all over the streets of NY and lately all over my back. I just found the most amazing, affordable and chic leopard faux fur coat at … Ready for this: Forever21
I’ve been needing a coat for the fall transition to winter weather. Too cold for a light fall jacket, too warm for a full on-winter coat yet, and believe me, I’m definitely not rushing it.

Whenever I wear anything leopard I feel invincible, sexy, comfy (In this jacket), fashion forward and timeless. Leopard never goes out of style. Fashion greats from Jackie O to Brigit Bardot have doned the most chic of leopard coats and have always peppered leopard in their fashion staples. Now it is everywhere this fall and I could not be more happy. Paired with black faux leather pants, denim skinny jeans or a LBD it’s a no fail way to look fabulous and put together.  Amazing news for anyone in need of a classic yet of the moment fix. From brunch to evening, the one I found was a steal at $70 so everyone can get one.

Let your inner leopard tigress out with any leopard accessory from a scarf, to booties to even leopard harem pants. Above in my illustrations are my favorite leopard looks.

In other fashion news: My Custom Designed Wedding Dress The prototype of my wedding dress is complete and I was able to try it on for the first time and am so in love. It is the most exquisite dress I have ever tried on and it is right from my brain into my life and onto my body. Not complete yet, there is much more to do but it is such an exciting process. My design, my creation, my baby, my wedding dress and a true expression of my style and personality – I am so happy I decided to design it myself!!!  If you are in need of a custom wedding dress, let me know!

Fall Transition to Holidays: November marks the time to prep for the holidays and now is the best time to start.  With marketing efforts of major retail chains pushing the holiday season forward (even starting the day before Halloween – MAN that’s crazy!), it seems that the early shopper may get to avoid the insanity that has become Black Friday. Now I don’t know If I agree or disagree with this sudden push of Christmas lights and red starbucks cups on October 31^st, but I can get in more of a holiday mood now that it’s November.
