I love Leopard!!! Hear me "RawR" :)

Leopard print. My #1 guiltiest fashion obsession. I feel people either LOVE IT or HATE IT! In all honesty..I love it (when used correctly, I'm not talking 'head to toe leopard messiness' for example: Jerseylicious hahaha) Leopard print can actually be extremely tasteful, classy, & sexy all at the same time when done correctly. & I truly believe that it has been & is going to always be a timeless trend. Below, I put together a few looks that I think really show that leopard print can be fabulous!!! Rawrrrr. ;)

10 Fashion Must-Haves

These are my top 10 Fashion Must-Haves for your wardrobe.  These pieces are key basics that I think every girl should have in their closet.  They all are very versatile & can be worn for many different occasions etc. These pieces won't ever go out of style so you can use them season throughout season!

1. A pair of dark denim skinny jeans.

Darker rinses are more flattering since darker colors tend to recede and make things look smaller . You can dress them up or dress them down making them the perfect wardrobe basic!

2. A well tailored blazer.

Blazers add structure to your frame not to mention they instantly update almost any outfit. Invest in black or charcoal, then throw in a few funky colors & patterns just for fun!

3. A little black dress.

An LBD can be your go-to for meetings at work, a simple night out, and/or special events. You can rework it for just about any occasion with a blazer, sweater, shoes, and accessories!

4. A statement trenchcoat.

In the spring and fall, a trench is flattering to every figure & adds chic elements to your wardrobe.  It also adds sophistication to what ever type outfit you are wearing!

5. Black dress pants.

No matter the type of fit, a pair of black pants will take you through unexpected business casual moments. They can also be dressed up with sky high heels or dressed down with a cute pair ballet flats.

Dress Up in a T-Shirt?!...Style Inspiration!

   My latest obsession is T-Shirts. Sounds strange, I know. But lately I've really been rocking them while going out at night in various night scene environments. There's something so sexy about just being casual & acting like "you don't care" what you're wearing (lol which I rarely EVER truly feel on the inside...haha).  Don't get me wrong I love getting dolled up & wearing skirts & fabulous dresses but some nights I just don't feel like putting in the effort!

   What I have been doing lately on nights I feel like this is pairing a cute tee with shorts or jeans & dressing up the look with heels/booties & a cute clutch (if you want it to be a little bit dressier pair it up with a vest or blazer)! Throw on some cute jewelry & the result is a casual but sexy look..not to mention COMFY.  & I truly believe that when you're comfortable in what you are wearing & in your skin...you exude confidence. & everyone knows confidence = sexy!!!  I wanted to do this post as a "style inspiration" for all of you. Take a look at the examples below & let me know what you think? :)

White Hot Looks

One thing that will never go out of style is an all white look for summer.  & don't worry you won't need an invitation to Diddy's All White party to rock this look.  This look can be worn day to night, casual to dressy. Wearing all white brings class & sophistication to any ensemble. White is also the perfect alternative when it comes of creating a minimal and perfectly polished apparel.This minimalist look conveys just the opposite by making you stand out from the crowd. 


How to Wear White

• Stark whites look best against bronzed or glowing skin.  So make sure you have somewhat of a summer glow going on.
• If head-to-toe white make you look too washed out then team white with a classic color such as navy for a classy look.  White will always look chic against a dark color but also looks expensive set against neutral tones of camel & gray.
• Alternatively, add a pop of bold color with an accessory such as a scarf or shoes, if you feel single white color block is a step too far.
• Remember, what you don't see is just as important as what you do. Nude color underwear is the best under white.
• White can be tricky to carry off if the fit is TOO TIGHT because it will show off ever flaw on any body type.  Keep the fit flowing & loose rather than too clingy & tight.

**The white summer blazer is a summer wardrobe must-have.**

Summer Date Day/Night Look

Trying to figure out to wear can be a girl's worst nightmare.  & what about trying to figure out what to wear on a date? You don't want to be too over the top dressy but still not look like a complete bum! Here's a casual head to toe look you can rock while going out with your boo on a warm summer night!

Keep your hair out of your face by styling it into a simple sleek ponytail like the one below:

As far as makeup goes, majority of guys definitely like the less is more look.  So for your guy, play down the makeup by not using any highly pigmented bright colors. Go for a more natural look (with out having to be bare faced) by using nude to peachy blushes, along with nude to light pink lipsticks and/or glosses, & add just a touch of gold shadow to your eyes along with liner & mascara:
