Candy Coloured Trousers

I can't get enough of roaming street style websites, and one of my many favourites is STREETFSN.  Here I discovered this outfit which really inspires me. The pale green, almost mint coloured trousers are so refreshing, and I love how she has teamed them together with a simple, classic cream coloured blazer, an elegant beige clutch and a pair of statement shoes. And I really like that she's wearing the coat on her shoulders - it adds such a cool detail.

This street style outfit made me think of Serena from Gossip Girl. It's no secret that I adore Serena's style, and so far, her wardrobe for season 4 is just brilliant. Especially in the episodes where she is in Paris. While she's there, she wears this amazing outfit consisting of lose baby pink trousers together with a neutral tank and bold accessories (LOVE that green necklace!). 

I have to get myself a pair of lose pastel trousers. Who knew they could look so great?! What do you think about them? Is it something you would wear?

Take A Walk On The Wild Side

Okay, so today's post is not MJ's great guess of stalking MK for a full day and taking lots of marvelous photos of her (that would have been a phenomenol post!), but some of you guessed it anyway. This post is all about leopard because ever since I saw these two photos from New York Fashion Week (Lou Doillon) and Milan Fashion Week (The Sartorialist girl), I've had leopard print spinning in my head.




I know that it's maybe slightly off-beat talking about leopard print since it's not in all the fashion magazines and it's not referred to as the 'hot new trend' at the moment, but still, if there's one thing that I've heard from many a stylists mouth it's: Don't throw away any of your leopard pieces! This print always comes back in style. It's that, and you should own at least one perfect Little Black Dress. So, because I feel that my leopard mania is here to stay for a while, I'll share some of my favourite ways of wearing this print. It's important to know what you're doing at all times when you're dealing with something leopard printed because we just have to face it: leopard can go from classy to trashy in a second. So jot down a few style notes from these photos to get it juuuust right.

And just to let you know before looking at the pictures: I've chosen not to post photos of the really known leopard printed looks..you know like the ones worn by Kate, Sienna, Kiera, Nicole etc. (I know, I know...Angelina's coat and Gwen's dress are quite known for the leopard lovers, but I just had to include them!) The reason why is because I would like to mix it up a little, and I have sometimes found that looking beyond my favourite style icons and towards others who I pay a little less attention to, rewards me. If you only tend to stick with a few style icons, things can easily become a bit similar and you might get a bit stuck in your ways of styling your outfits.

Do you own anything leopard printed that you absolutely love?
