Spot On: Luxe Big Cat Prints

Full on in a dress or just a touch with a chic bag or shoe this season's animal print is spot on!

Taking a cue from this month's Vogue muses are reworking the timeless pattern into modern fashion. There is just something about animal print done right, though it's been done several times before, it seems to just give a classic piece such as an LBD a bit of roar! - xo laura

Long On Style: Maxi Dress

Typically if you cringe thinking of yourself in a floor length dress, otherwise known as the maxi, take a cue from these muses which are anything but lacking in elegant style.
Insisting that fit is key to pulling off one of these voluminous gowns. The wearer must allow the dress to gently grace against the body or else one will undeniably add pounds and become right tent-like.
Belted. Tied. Layered. Altered.
Make it fit for you!
Make off-the-rack seem couture by investing in an exceptional tailor.

Livin' In My Shoes: Room With A View

One of my favorite all time lines is from an old episode of Sex & the City in which Carrie is once again pondering her life as a fashionably dressed starving author:
I've spent $40,000 on shoes and I have no place to live? I will literally be the old woman who lived in her shoe.
