Fashion Friday: Loving Leopard.

I adore animal prints. Leopard and Zebra are at the top of my list. I love to rock my Wildcat blouse from J. Crew. ( Sold out, #1 below.)

Whenever I wear it, Mike calls me Peg Bundy. So, it got me to thinking that there is a lot of tasteful leopard out there, but there is even more not-so-tasteful leopard. First, let’s take a look at leopard done right.

This is obviously leopard gone wrong.

Here are some tips to get it right:

Leopard print clothing should not be tight.
Stay away from spandex, rayon and velour.
Leopard print is a statement. Don’t make too many statements in one outfit.
Stick to one leopard print piece per outfit. (Steer clear of matching shoes, handbag, etc.)
For a more updated look, mix leopard print with bright fun colors, think green, blue, orange, pink.
Stay away from leopard athletic wear.
Everything in moderation.

Here are some of my favorite leopard items of the moment. Please do not wear more than one at a time. 😉

Zara Online Store: What a Bust.

Dear Zara,

You know I love you. I am one of your biggest fans. But your long awaited online store that I hyped up with a vengeance has been a major bust. You should be ashamed of yourself. Please work on getting some color infused into your selection. These ensembles look like something from a Bradlee’s Sunday paper ad (Circa 1983.) I am so very disappointed in you. Get your sh%t together.

Sincerely,
Krista.

Don’t beleive me?…. See for yourself.

Blah.

Be My Valentine.

It’s hard to beleive that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner… I spotted these adorable DIY Valentines at Paper Source last week.

Which got me thinking about how many other adorable ways you can share the love. With a last name like Salmon, I gotta love these first two.

Let’s Drink.

It was right around this post in 2010 that I bought the bar car that you see in the picture below. Although it will look much cuter once it is styled, I am thinking of selling this one and buying a new, more substantial bar cart. (This is what drives my husband crazy about me… He: 1.) Sees no point in a bar cart in the first place (he just grabs a beer from the fridge.) and 2.) Can’t understand why this perfectly good bar cart won’t do. He is convinced that I am on a mission to bankrupt us.

Anywho… There are so many beauties out there. I love them all, so much more than mine. Sigh.
