Love, Stripes and Camo

Published on by thenavyleopard1 Comment

I am ready to fall into The Gap again.  I have been on the hunt for a camo jacket to throw on over everything.  I spotted this jacket at The Gap and scooped it up immediately (it’s under $50 with the current promo CHEERS).  Others I have considered (like this, this and this) are almost ten times the price.  I love the striped details and I lost count of compliments the first time I wore it with a navy t-shirt and sneakers.  I also ordered this jacket in dark night from The Gap today (the army green with leopard print was tempting too).

I styled it with a Saint James tee, denim, navy velvet frayed sandals and one of my favorite Parker Thatch clutches.  I just ordered this camo clutch from Parker Thatch (it arrives tomorrow and I can hardly wait!)

Ready for Plaid

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

“Why aren’t there more decorations for Thanksgiving?  It seems like we rush to Christmas right after Halloween.” said my seven year old on the way to school.  “Each holiday should be special.”  I could not agree with him more.  I was excited to find these fun Thanksgiving crackers that I know he and my niece will enjoy.  My dog is enjoying her Fair Isle bed (it also comes in this adorable plaid) and for now, that is enough Christmas décor.

On the fashion front I am ready for plaid and velvet.  I love the fit of this velvet blazer.  I styled it with my favorite Stewart plaid shirt, leopard print stole, new high rise skinny jeans and leopard heels.  The look is casual, but holiday ready.   I organized my closet and put all the plaid in a more prominent location.

Mani Monday – Navy Flowers Edition

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

“Look they replaced Billy Joel with a Holiday channel” said my seven year old from the back seat.  “I am not ready for that.  We can start listening to it after Thanksgiving.  How about 80s on 8?” I replied.  Then we went to Target and I could not help picking up this fair isle dog bed they have it in my favorite plaid too.  I came home and ordered matching monogrammed Santa pajamas for everyone (adult and kids sizes).  The whole family will be ready for Santa in terms of sleep.

I have not put on the holiday music just yet.  I am planning my holiday manis, but I am definitely not going to start them until December (O.K. maybe right after Thanksgiving).  This week’s mani is a nod to fall and also the warm weather we have been having in Los Angeles.  It actually finally cooled to below seventy degrees today.

The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.  The colors is “Surrounded by Studs” and “Dress is More” by Essie Gel Couture (use with this topcoat for gel-like wear and it’s polish),

Blue Plaid

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

Next week J. Crew launches their holiday collection with plenty of my favorite plaid.  In the meantime, I am keeping it blue with this shirt styled with a pom-pom sweatshirt, dark denim and leopard print accessories. My son has the boy’s version and he styled it with blue cords that are so stretchy and comfortable (which for an active seven year old boy is a must)

Not so Basic Black

Published on by thenavyleopard2 Comments

I have been in search of a basic black clutch that makes a statement.  Of course I found one from one of my favorite bag designers, Legend of Lido.  Their one-of -a kind prints are gorgeous are handmade in Los Angeles.  This bag was inspired by travels in the English countryside and features geodes and wild flowers.  It is the perfect pop with black and also a neutral with other prints. Expect to see it styled many ways in future posts.
