Neutrals at Sunset

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

Leopard is definitely a neutral for me.  I love mixing it with stripes and plaid and other patterns, but I also love the way it pops with black and white.  My new leopard heels that I was so excited to get for Christmas (more on that in Leopard Surprise) are so easy to wear.  My number one criteria for shoes is comfort and these heels are very comfortable.

I styled them with my J. Crew Black Toothpick Jeans, J. Crew Black Cashmere Cardigan, a white shirt and my J. Crew Ryan Sunglasses.  You can expect to see more of these heels.

Zebras and Tigers, Oh My!

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

This stunning mural “Catnap” by Michael Summers is the perfect backdrop for my new J. Crew Zebra top.  Summers says the design was inspired by the quote from American theologian Reinhold Neibuhr, “Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are for what you may become.”

I styled the top with my favorite lace pants, pink sunglasses, velvet clutch and glitter pumps, all from J. Crew.  The shoes and top were previously sold out.  As of press time, both are available in several sizes.  Grab them while you can…

Stripes at the San Diego Auto Museum

Published on by thenavyleopard1 Comment

One of our summer adventures included a trip to Balboa Park in San Diego, specifically to the San Diego Auto Museum.  My son loves cars and wanted to see the movie cars exhibit.  It was a warm August day so my J. Crew white denim skirt was perfect with stripes.  It is a great piece for summer and fall.

Pinking into Fall

Published on by thenavyleopard1 Comment

I love seeing fall clothes in the stores, but it is still summer.  We are enjoying the last week of summer with a getaway and lots of beach time.  J. Crew’s recent roll out with all the pink is amazing.  The Drake’s prints are so beautiful.  You can read more about their history and the process here.  I continue to enjoy the challenge to wear pink.  I love this Drake’s shirt with pops of pink in the cardigan and my new J. Crew Jane sunglasses. The white denim pencil skirt still makes it feel summery.

Lofty Leopard

Published on by thenavyleopard3 Comments

I discovered a new coffee place during our recent visit to San Diego.  Lofty Coffee Company is amazing.  I first visited their Solana Beach cafe.  They roast their own coffee nearby in Encinitas as well as bake their own pasties from scratch.  They have house made almond milk and hazelnut milk, which makes all the difference for me.  I had an iced salted caramel latte with almond milk and I had to go back the next day for another.  They also have great healthy, natural food options.  We stopped by the Encinitas location on our way home (it is an easy stop from Interstate 5).

I took a little break from pink and decided to leopardize (read more on how to “speakjcrew”here)  since leopard print goes so well with coffee.  I am loving this new leopard print blouse.  It goes so well with my J. Crew Ryan sunglasses, black toothpick jeans and cashmere cardigan.

Stripes and Liberty

Published on by thenavyleopard3 Comments

I am fully embracing the recent J. Crew challenge to wear pink.  My new J. Crew Jane sunglasses are such a fun shade of pink.  I added a pop of pink and green to my new favorite Liberty shirt (that I previously featured in this post Fiddlehead Farm ) with a preppy pink and green striped long sleeve tee. This white denim pencil skirt is quickly becoming my new go to and is perfect for pairing with fall looks to still feel like summer.
