{self-expression}

After Summer's prescription of neon denim Fall has taken a different point of view, something less complicated, a little more grown up - maybe even...minimalistic? A style that reads refined, chic and simple. Fall is the season of choice, the season of self-empowerment, and personal style. There's no better way of self-expression than pairing your classic Fall pieces with an unexpected accessory. This season I'm lusting over colored clutches, dramatic jewels and fur accents. Go on, express yourself...

Looks like the lion has lost his crown as the king of the jungle, with the leopard getting all the attention this Fall season. If there is one print or pattern that never goes out of style, it is the garishly loved and constantly updated animal print. If you're wondering what your next purchase should be to help transition into Fall, I suggest you take a cue out of my "blog." I'm clearly suffering from feline fever this season as I double-dip in leopard with my trans-seasonal coat and printed calf-hair clutch, accompanied by an equally eye-catching red lip. In addition to playful animal prints I'm smitten with prim, ladylike silhouettes that create high-impact. Animal prints are a great way to energize your wardrobe.

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I needed a major pick-me-up with the start of this week and nothing says Happy Monday than donning red lips, slicked back hair and a glowing smile. Maddie Kulicka looks preppy chic in her crimson cardigan and matching Gucci button-down, sporting a bright smile for Vogue Russia's September beauty issue that's nothing less than contagious. Hoping this post makes you smile and leads you to a perfectly lovely mid August week....

Kate Moss can change her look every day or be photographed in a new way and it always works. So it would only be fitting that on Kate's big day she look nothing less than stunning. As her biggest fan, I can say that she didn't disappoint. Mario Testino captured the glowing bride in a light that we've never seen before. Her under-stated elegance radiated through her Galliano gown, and for the first time her innocent, soft-spoken nature shined through. See how Kate graced the cover of Vogue for the September issue and re-live the most romantic day of her life. 

There's only one Kate in London...

When the sun is shining there is nothing more feminine than a fresh, floral summer dress. Far a daytime take on this trend I opted for a ditsy floral printed Tibi dress. Summer's freshest trend yet...
