Leopard

Are you kitten me right now??  Leopard is everywhere and I can't get enough!  I like to wear leopard as a neutral and pair it with just about everything that goes with black or brown.  My favorite pattern for mixing is simply a black and white stripe.  Last summer I bought this Clare V foldover clutch and I have used it so many times and get so many compliments.  This one is also just as great-just a little bit smaller.  Both are perfect accessories when you want to add a pop of Rawr!

I like to pair my leopard belt with simple black and white stripes.

Heels or sneakers, flats  or boots.  Can't go wrong-love them all!

Winter Ski Trip

img

We just booked our family Colorado ski trip and I'm so excited for our mountain vacay.  I love to get away and simply have a change of scenery.  This will be the first year that we will have all four kids on skis.  Yippee!!!  All of this winter trip planning is making me want to look at pictures of mountains and ski lodges and cute boots:)

My preference for a getaway is always a warm beach but I do love a cozy winter ski trip with the fam.  I'm looking forward to the warm fires, crisp air, hot chocolate, and mountain views.  I love the gondola rides up the mountain and the brisk strolls through town.  The quaint main street shops always carry the best winter gear.  Bring on the fair isle and fur!
