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.

Doggie Stripes at Georgie

Published on by thenavyleopard2 Comments

When I came home with my J. Crew for NET-A-PORTER purchases my husband said “Another striped long sleeve tee?”.  I am afraid to do an inventory count.  Then he saw the sequined dog and said, “THAT is a keeper”, which is something he rarely says.  His side (or should I say third of a side) of our closet it a carefully curated selection.  He is ruthless when it comes to cleaning out his closet.  If they had a men’s version of this t-shirt, he might be adding one more to his collection.

The tee-shirt is super soft.  I styled it with my J. Crew lookout high rise jeans, Panama hat and, of course, leopard flats.  We headed to a new favorite spot for coffee, tea and pastries, Georgie, in Beverly Hills.  My son says they make the BEST croissants.

Stripes and Polka Dots in La Jolla

Published on by thenavyleopard1 Comment

I love the dotted stripe of this long sleeved t-shirt in my favorite blue and white.  I just ordered it in pink stripes with navy dots from NET-A-PORTER  J. Crew capsule collection (available here).  This all blue version is available on the J. Crew website.  I am wearing the straightaway jean and mechanic field jacket with leopard flats and my pink Jane sunglasses to complete the look.  Everything is from J. Crew.

All of the Stripes

Published on by thenavyleopard4 Comments

J. Crew launched a capsule collection with NET-A-PORTER last week.  It is available in only a few stores and on NET-A-PORTER.  Once again they issued a challenge and I just could not resist.  The collection is centered around blue and white stripes and has some amazing pieces.  I love this silk crepe de chine shirt together with the reversible scarf.

My son came in mid-photo shoot and decided it needed something more.  I absolutely love this faux fur blue and white striped scarf.  The only question is who wore it best?

 

Thankfully it was a bit foggy in Los Angeles during the shoot.  The scarf is so cozy.

 

The collection is really fantastic.  You can purchase it on NET-A-PORTER and I have linked the pieces below.  Quantities are limited.

Casual Stripes

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

Tied with my love of leopard is my love of blue and white, particularly blue and white stripes.  I am always excited when I spot a new take on the classic blue and white.  This J. Crew shirt has a club collar and the fabric is a textured jacquard with the coolest buttons. The jeans are also a new J. Crew cut and style called the straightaway.  I love the exposed button fly.  I had forgotten how comfortable a button fly can be.

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.

Shades of Blue

Published on 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.

Wanderlust abroad and at home

Published on 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.

Cherries on Top

Published on by thenavyleopard1 Comment

The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays.  Our day includes a 10K and kid’s race in the morning, a parade in the afternoon and fireworks to end the night.   I am starting the celebration early by adding a a pop of red to my favorite blue and white.  This cherry tee from J. Crew is so fun for summer.
