Zoe & Sam Leopard Print Silk Blouse

I came across Zoe & Sam on GILT  (one of my guilty online pleasures) and decided to take a chance purchasing a reasonably priced, leopard print, silk blouse. I tried researching this brand before making the purchase but they don’t have a website or any other companies selling their product online. What I wasn’t aware of at the time of my purchase (which is why I prefer to look up the product online and read reviews), is the silk blouses run a full size large (GILT has now made a mention of this). I ordered the blouse in a size small and while it may fit like a medium, I am more than happy with the over-sized look. If you are looking for a more fitted look, I would order a size down.

GILT describes the type of women who would wear Zoe & Sam as an urban career girl who’s nailed the business-casual look by stocking her wardrobe with feminine silk blouses and Henleys, classic two-pocket shirts, and elegant jersey wrap dresses that outlast trends. I can agree with this. I was looking for a silk blouse that is true to my personal style and versatile enough to wear in and outside of the office. I definitely see myself holding onto this piece for a long time.

I am in love with this blouse. I am also in love with just about everything Nicole Richie has done recently, fashion wise. Winter Kate is one of her brands that has evolved into a full fledged clothing line with a boho-chic vibe in every piece. She does a great job picking beautiful fabrics and flattering cuts. In warmer weather, I really like wearing over-sized silk blouses with bold patterns and colors. The breath-ability and versatility of a silk blouse, make it the prefect top for the office and an evening out. Pair it with skinny jeans (blouse half tucked in), cute boho booties, a fabulous purse, and you are one styling babe!

This past weekend I was in Las Vegas for the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend – VLV16. I love making this event a girls weekend with my sister and friends – we spend a lot of time dolling ourselves up, looking fabulous in our vintage wear and retro-inspired clothing. I enjoy the process of getting [...]

I love wearing animal prints, especially leopard prints, but not in a Jersey Shore kind of way. I prefer subtlety. I recently read a quote from Rachel Zoe that struck home, “I think every woman should have leopard, but not every woman will wear leopard. You have to have courage to wear leopard.”

In the US, spring season is regarded as beginning on the day after President’s Day. I regard the beginning of spring by the first day it is warm enough to wear a cute pair of sandals. And that is a happy day. Spring time in the bay area is never quite warm enough without a [...]

Betabrand Women’s #RedPantsFriday

March 4, 2013

It is pretty easy to guess what the hashtag #RedPantsFriday is all about – wearing a pair of red pants on Friday. It is a silly, popular trend that is Tweeted, Instagramed and Facebooked every Friday.  So it is no surprise that Betabrand, an ultra internet-savvy company, designed a pair of women’s red pants for [...]

I can’t think of a better way to say, “let’s snuggle”, than with the world’s softest blanket. I love this Betabrand photo my boyfriend, Jason, took of us wrapped in the Vagisoft Blanket. We were away on yet another epic mountain bike adventure in Tahoe, California. Couples that play together, stay together. Hope you have [...]

Maloja WilmaM Jacket

I am just as obsessed about fashion (and functionality) on a mountain bike as I am off of one. I recently posted a review on my Maloja WilmaM Jacket on Bermstyle. I adore everything about this jacket and desperately want another one (in another color of course). I first discovered Swiss apparel brand Maloja two years ago [...]

Cobalt Blue and Leopard Print

February 8, 2013

Last year I was obsessed with cobalt blue skinny jeans (click here) – this year it’s this knee length cobalt blue coat from Free People.  I have quite the coat collection already but nothing in this color or length. My first thought when I put this coat on, “I must get leopard print booties”.
