Blue Herons Taking Flight

Published on August 24, 2016August 24, 2016 by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

This blue heron t-shirt in my favorite navy blue inspired a leaping photo shoot. I had to include a pop of pink with my Gemma Paisley flats to meet the current J. Crew challenge. Speaking of challenges, this post is my 100th post! I’m definitely jumping for joy over that. When I started this blog just over four months ago, my goal was to publish five days a week. Thank you for following along.

In the Pink

There is nothing like pink to instantly lift your mood. The latest rollout from J. Crew is all about pink. They issued another challenge. This time to wear pink for five days. As you know, I am more of a navy and leopard girl, but this pink look put a spring in my step. I am loving my new paisley Gemma flats with the neon trim. My Ryan sunglasses in blush are the perfect neutral. This neon t-shirt I picked up on sale last summer, but I have linked something similar below.

Martha’s Vineyard – Menemsha Sunset

Published on August 14, 2016August 14, 2016 by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

We had the most perfect weather for our trip to Martha’s Vineyard. There was only one day of rain and very low humidity. I have heard it is just so sticky right now. One afternoon we took a short walk before dinner. We then headed to Menemsha for dinner at Home Port. They have the freshest seafood and the sunsets from the Menemsha Harbor are amazing.

Tropical Blues

Published on August 9, 2016August 8, 2016 by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

Today was the first day back after two weeks on vacation. I was almost late dropping my son off at science camp (I am usually early) because he and were researching and planning our next vacation early this morning. We want to get one more family mini-vacation in before the end of August.

These shorts remind me of vacation and make me feel like I am on vacation. I bought the necklace in deep pewter a few weeks ago and featured it in Stripes and Paisley on the Vineyard. I picked up the necklace in bright hibiscus this weekend because I love it so much. It gives a substantial pop of color while still being easy to wear, feeling substantial and light on the neck, all at the same time. I love the two together. My favorite gold espadrilles are on promotion (details below) along with the shorts and hat. The t-shirt is on sale and comes in a bunch of colors. It is breezy and easy to wear.

Stripes and Paisley on the Vineyard

Published on August 4, 2016August 3, 2016 by thenavyleopard2 Comments

We just got back from our family vacation on the East Coast. It was our second year staying on Martha’s Vineyard with my sister-in-law and niece. My sister-in-law has a beautiful house on the island that is walking distance to one of the best restaurants, State Road. My husband and I took a stroll there one evening for a drink and appetizer and snapped these photos. I love this new cap-sleeve dress from J. Crew and my favorite Gemma flats in this neon paisley. I continued the pop of pink with the belt and cardigan and then added a more tonal lucite necklace (which is such a great length). If you have not checked out J. Crew’s sunglasses that launched this fall, there are some great styles.

We had an amazing time with great beach days and East Coast vs. West Coast Monopoly games. My son and I then spent three days exploring Boston. It was the first time for both of us. He is six and even managed to be my photographer one day. Stay tuned for a kiddo photographed Boston outfit post and several others from Martha’s Vineyard. The island is just magical and it is so great to have a week with our East Coast family.

Ikat and About

Published on August 2, 2016December 3, 2017 by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

There are so many pretty and inspiring walls in Venice. My mom and I found a bunch of cool ones a few weeks ago. I featured this J. Crew Ikat blouse in my Ikat in the Dining Room post. I decided it needed to be shown outside with white denim. These were such fun backdrops and I added a Parker Thatch sequined clutch.

Shades of Blue

Published on July 19, 2016December 3, 2017 by thenavyleopard2 Comments

It is no secret that blue is my favorite color. I found the 10,000 Buddhas wall by Amanda Giacomini in Venice to be so serene. You can read more on Amanda and the 10,000 Buddhas project here.

Of course, I was dressed to match. My favorite striped flats from J. Crew have been marked down again, so they are a super deal. My favorite and oh-so-comfy lookout high-rise jeans from J.Crew are also on sale. My navy gingham button up and panama hat are both on constant repeat along with my Veronica tote from Parker Thatch.

Breezy Neutrals

Published on July 13, 2016July 12, 2016 by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

I have had several hats on rotation protecting me from the sun lately They are also a good way to get one more day out of a blow dry. I wrote two posts on hair game changers here and here.

This is one of my favorite new hats. I styled it with my aqua AG Jeans (that are on sale plus 50% at Calypso) and a J. Crew ivory eyelet top (previously seen in navy in this post). It is a breezy summer look that is comfortable and great in warmer weather.

Wanderlust abroad and at home

Published on July 7, 2016July 6, 2016 by thenavyleopard2 Comments

Venice Beach or Paris? These photos remind me of Paris and give me wanderlust, but also remind me that there is so much to explore in my own backyard. My mother is a very talented photographer and a wiz on her iPhone (at least with editing photos, we are working on the rest). We did several outfit shoots in Venice when she visited last weekend. There are so many great walls and doors (especially the doors in Monday’s post). These photos really do remind me of Paris where The Navy Leopard was born (more about that in this post). I love the iron gate and cool bike rack. As I dream about my next trip, I will continue to explore the local sights.

Mad for Plaid

Published on July 5, 2016July 4, 2016 by thenavyleopard2 Comments

I’ve always loved plaid – plaid pants for the holidays, plaid shirts, plaid shoes and plaid shorts. I was so excited when this pretty, plaid, off the shoulder dress went on sale at J. Crew in the lightest, breeziest silk. I styled it with one of my favorite new hats, a raffia clutch and my denim pom pom flats (that are sold out, but I linked several great options below). I featured the “Into the Wild” print off the shoulder dress in this post a couple of weeks ago. I was slow to the off the shoulder trend and now I am loving it for summer.
