Leather and Leopard

Happy Monday! The warm weather has finally ended (unfortunately) so I'm back to needing to wear jackets all the time. Okay, I wear jackets all the time anyways, since I freeze after about five minutes of being outdoors, whether it's summer or winter. 

The funny thing is, is that it's only ever my upper body that gets cold. As long as my chest and arms are bundled up, I can wear skirts with a pair of tights, or peep-toe shoes even in the cold weather. I try not to when it's -20ºC or less though – don't want my toes to fall off!

 I have a love/hate relationship with leopard print. On one hand, I associate it with something tacky teenagers would wear (Snooki anyone?). On the other, I've seen it been done so tastefully by so many people, and I just can't resist giving it a go. While I wouldn't buy a full leopard print jacket, I'm loving leopard accessories and shoes. These Enzo Angiolini heels are the perfect beginners item to try out the trend. I'm also in love with purses and clutches with a leopard print panel.

 This Joie t-shirt came in from my Boxing Day shopping. I was looking for the perfect grey, crewneck that wasn't a tight fit, and wasn't too dark or too light. It was a tough search, but the linen material sold me. I love linen tees as they're so breathable and light, not to mention perfectly drapey.

I love this Michael Kors watch so much – it's perfect for layering!
