Reading Jacket

Published on November 4, 2016November 3, 2016 by thenavyleopard1 Comment

My six year old son told me this “jacket” is perfect for reading. It does make me want to curl up with a book. I love the pop of red with the purple houndstooth. It is a nice transition to winter. I just ordered a Black Watch plaid blazer from J. Crew and a pink velvet blazer (also from J. Crew) and I can’t wait! The pink velvet blazer is going fast, so I have linked it below.

It’s time for Plaid!

Published on November 3, 2016November 3, 2016 by thenavyleopard3 Comments

It’s beginning to feel a lot like the holidays which to me says it’s time for plaid. I am mad for plaid as it brings back happy memories of when the Preppy Handbook was my bible. Plaid dresses up even the most basic holiday attire and adds the perfect touch to home holiday decor.

Last year J. Crew had plaid shoes and pants. I was lucky enough to get two of each and wore them repeatedly throughout the holiday season. They sold out fast (within a day of being on the website).

This year is another chance to add to your prodigious plaid pantheon with their two new adorable styles that are linked and shown below. They are available now through the links below. They will hit the website next week and will be featured in the December Style Guide. Now is the time to snap them up. I ordered both today. Don’t delay.

New York State of Mind

Published on November 1, 2016November 3, 2016 by thenavyleopard6 Comments

I miss New York City on a daily basis. I loved my life there even if I did feel like money just fell out of my pockets when I left my apartment. Sometimes I am in shock that I have now lived in Los Angeles for eleven years. I am married to a New Yorker that has no desire to move back.

In the meantime, I love this J. Crew New York T-shirt. I featured it this summer in New York on the Vineyard and wore it on September 11 when we “visited” New York at Legoland’s Miniland in Sliding Doors. It is back in stock along with the Paris version that I featured in Cheers to the long weekend! and I’ll take Paris and the Vineyard. It is definitely time to plan some travel, but I will enjoy having my two favorite cities on my t-shirts while I dream about my next trip.

I styled my New York t-shirt with my favorite J. Crew for NET-A-PORTER coat that was previously featured in Keeping Warm in the Butler’s Pantry, red flats, jeans, sunglasses and a Sunday New York Times.

This year for our family Halloween costume we are going as doughnuts. My son and I saw the costumes over a month ago and were both very excited. I am so happy that he is still into the idea of a family costume.

The color is “Gotcha” by CND Vinylux. The nail art and manicure are by Olive & June.

Happy Halloween!

Boo!

Raspberry and pumpkins are an unlikely combination, but I love pink and orange together. I wore my favorite new raspberry coat from J. Crew to a mini pumpkin patch where we picked up a few pumpkins the other day. How cute is the window at Hudson Grace? We are excited for Halloween and my son is still into the family costume idea.

Stars and Sequins

A little sparkle for Thursday. I love a t-shirt that adds a little something while still being comfortable and easy to wear. I’ve kept it monochromatic with dark wash jeans, my favorite navy sequined shoes, a navy cardigan, Goyard bag and my Ryan Sunglasses.

Fall Foilage

Have you tried the Maddie pant? It has been a while since I liked a pant other than jeans from J. Crew or anywhere else. You probably notice my penchant for denim. I tried on a pair of the Maddie pant in misty forest the other day and loved them. They are really comfortable and the green is such a great neutral for fall. I styled them with this beautiful t-shirt that looks hand painted, a burgundy cardigan, my burgundy Signet bag, a new long necklace, my favorite Ryan Sunglasses in Blush and of course, my Gemma leopard flats.

Leopard Landing

Published on October 24, 2016October 23, 2016 by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

This is a coat that I dreamed of as a little girl. I always loved leopard print from the time I can remember. It had an air of glamour and at times it was a little over the top. Now I incorporate it into a lot in the way of shoes, belts and blouses. When I saw this coat I fell in love. I am styling it in a very neutral way with a black cashmere sweater from J. Crew, J. Crew black toothpick jeans, a Goyard Saigon bag, Armand Ventilo shoes I picked up in Paris two years ago (I have linked three other options below) and my J. Crew Jane Sunglasses in pink for a pop of color.

Mani Friday – Navy Leopard Edition

Published on October 21, 2016October 20, 2016 by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

This was a good week for The Navy Leopard. I am feeling very grateful and inspired. This week’s mani was inspired by the New Balance for J. Crew active wear that I have been wanting to wear 24/7. It was featured on Tuesday in Pattern Mix Hits the Gym. I actually changed out of other active wear today to put it back on, it’s that comfortable!

The color is “Incognito in Sausalito” by OPI. The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.

Thank you for all of your support of the blog.

Happy Friday!

Another blue and white striped shirt? Yes! This one has built in cuffs. I love the look of a button down shirt under a striped shirt, but sometimes don’t want the extra layer. The best thing about this one is that it has the cuffs and not the collar so that I can wear one of my many silk scarves. Many of J. Crew’s latest offerings are at what they call a “Freak out” price. This top is only $45 and I think should be on J. Crew’s “Freak Out” List along with the items here.

I styled it with what have become my favorite got to basics: J. Crew Toothpick Jeans in Black, Ryan sunglasses and Leopard Flats. I added one of the scarves from my collection. It is an instantly pulled together look that still has the comfort of a striped long sleeve t-shirt.
