Fall Trends 2010: Into the Wild

This Fall, animal print is back - in a big way! Actually the more "wild" the better. We are seeing animal inspired looks everywhere from leopard prints to fur booties. The fashionistas are showing us that there is no reason to be afraid of wearing this untamed look - even all at once!

We like the idea of pairing a leopord dress with a fabulous black fur vest and booties for a look that's a little boho yet sexy. Add a studded bag or a colorful piece of jewelry to mix it up a bit.

The Into the Wild Breakdown:

• Tinley Road Faux Fur Vest, $69 at Piperlime
• AKA New York Cocoon Dress, $318 at Shopbop
• Vanessa Mooney One of a Kind Mixed Bangles, $220 at Shopbop
• Rebecca Minkoff Quilted MAB Bag, $565 at Rebecca Minkoff
• Nine West Priska Bootie, $149 at Nine West

Daily Bling - Thursday, May 20

It's been a while since we have checked out Modcloth so we thought we would peruse the site yesterday evening in search of some inspiration for today's Daily Bling. Modcloth is known for their literally unique and one-of-a-kind indie designs and just as we suspected they didn't disappoint in the inspiration department!

We love today's Daily Bling - cheekily named the Twist of Fate Bracelet which is currently on sale at Modcloth for $14.99. What a deal, right!? This center-clasp bracelet features woven black suede with brass detailing and we actually think it would make a fab. complimentary piece to the Vanessa Mooney Elephant Necklace we featured yesterday. We'd like to see it paired with the necklace and worn with a bohemian sheer floral-printed dress and some open-toe clogs or booties to achieve that hippie chic vibe but also think it would look equally cute with your go-to lbd and some patent-leather pumps.

Daily Bling - Wednesday, May 19

We are loving this zen-friendly daily bling by designer Vanessa Mooney. If you haven't heard of Vanessa Mooney, you should! She is a fairly new designer on the scene who also happens to be the great-grandaughter of Harry Warner, of the famed Hollywood Warner Bros, and is therefore heavily influenced by Old Hollywood glamour and the bohemian vibe of her artistic family.


We love the Elephant Necklace mostly because we love elephants! Elephant's are thought to be good luck in many cultures which is one of the reasons why we love to wear them (more unique and personal than a shamrock for us personally). The other reason? They are cute! Animal Charms are very hot in jewelry this season and we think this long charm necklace (27 inches long to be exact) would like great with pretty much any look. We definitely see it as the perfect piece to wear with a casual look especially like jean shorts and a flowy tank top on the weekends or even to the beach with your fav. bathing suit.


The Vanessa Mooney Elephant Necklace is $50 and available at ShopBop.
