I know that you've all seen camo during your shopping excursions. And there are a lot of mixed feelings, there are also a lot of camo you want to leave alone. But I challenge you, not to think of it as "hunter chic". Because it's really about mixing hard/soft, elegant/everyday; it's this season's version of punk.

This weekend I had the pleasure of celebrating the upcoming arrival of my friend Jen's bundle of joy, Knox. Next weekend I get to celebrate with Crystal as we welcome Olivia. So much fun also begs the question on what to wear! Here's my suggestion for a fun, yet classically chic look for a baby shower.

Being conservative, can still turn some heads. Of course this look isn't appropriate for all work environment,
but some form of color can work its way into your office. Be bold!

Adventures of Roxie the Style Cat

in , ,
It is apparent that everything aligned for me to find my furmate. Roxie is always drawn to shoes and accessories, particularly ones that coordinate with her beautiful coat. The shoes are one of my favorites, Vince Camuto from Dillard's; cork snake skin and of course my kitty Roxie, from Petsmart. Adopt a loved one! Check out Nashville Cat Rescue.

Corello Likes Fashion and Furry Friends

in , , ,
Check out designs from rock 'n' roll design house Corello. These designers are Australian born but have set up shop in Nashville! They have a precise edge to their pieces and I look forward to seeing more. This photo is from this years Emerging Designers Night at Nashville Fashion Week, April 2-6. Corello will be featuring fashions at the upcoming Glitter and Glam event to benefit the Agape Animal Rescue on July 28th!

Cuff 'Em

in ,
Found these on Fab.com! You may or may not know that I am obsessed with a bold statement cuff, and am completely enamored by these. They are the creation of Karen Koenig of Unearthed House of Leather. They use only natural leathers and materials to create amazing colors and textures. How can you not love someone who is "unapologetically luxurious"! Cuffs generally start at $60.

Hot Weather Leather

in ,

A super hot trend, literally, for summer. Here are a few ways to keep it cooler. Leather details or items will keep you on trend but regretting the summer sun. These four look I found at Target, so kudos to them for a timely and cost effective choice. They are all $24.99 or less. For additional tips check this examiner.com article.
