Blue Velvet

Published on by thenavyleopard1 Comment

One of my best purchases this season was the Velvet Clutch from J.Crew.  I was excited to see it when it came out and bought it right away.  It went with just as many things as black and added an elegant touch.  I lost count of the times I reached for it to complete holiday outfits both casual and dressy.  It made it into six blog posts.  I noticed this week that they had a few in stock, so if you missed it, now is the time to grab it.

Dreaming of Paris

Published on by thenavyleopard3 Comments

As my son and I research our trip to London in 2017, I am scheming how we can get to Paris for a few days, too.  As Audrey Hepburn said, “Paris is always a good idea.”

Like Audrey, I also believe in pink.  I styled my  pink Velvet Blazer, with my Paris T-shirt, pink Jane sunglasses, glitter heels and a pink (monogrammed) wallet all from J. Crew.   I added a pink Hermes scarf in keeping with the Paris theme and AG Jeans.

Leopard Surprise

Published on by thenavyleopard1 Comment

There has always been one pair of #shinyponies from J. Crew that I have wanted, but never splurged on, the Colette D’Orsay Pump in Leopard Print.  My mom surprised me with them this year.  I was so excited when I opened them that I had to immediately put them on with my plaid pajamas and leopard print Santa hat.  My two favorite neutrals, leopard print and plaid, work so well together.

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend whether it was celebrating Christmas, the first two nights of Hanukkah or just a long weekend with friends and family.  My mani this week is a wine color with a rose gold glitter.  It’s festive and ready for end of the year and New Year’s celebrations.

The color is “Malaga Wine” by OPI.  The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.

Happy Last Monday of 2016!

Mad for Plaid

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

Plaid is on heavy rotation at this point and I love it.  I am wearing my J. Crew plaid pants from last year, but this year’s Martie Pant in Stewart Plaid are more comfortable and slightly more fitted.  I styled them with my new favorite tuxedo inspired t-shirt that I wore last week in Basic Black.  It is a sign of a good purchase when I not only immediately wear it, but style it multiple ways right away.  The top also comes in navy.  I am definitely mad for plaid and added my favorite plaid flats, plaid pouch, Ryan sunglasses and cashmere cardigan – all from J. Crew.

Sequins and Cupcake

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

Despite hating her own doggie Santa hat, Cupcake was intrigued with my leopard print version (that my son picked out at CVS).  We had fun with this shoot.  I styled a J. Crew sequin skirt with a black cashmere cardigan, black blouse and grey and black leopard heels.  The skirt is almost sold out, but I linked two places to buy it below along with the factory version.  The factory version is a bit shorter, currently only $34 dollars and available in a range of sizes.  All the links are below.

Here is a dressing room selfie.  I was so excited to find the skirt in my size the other night at J. Crew.  It is such a versatile holiday piece, I like it with flats for a more casual look as well.
