Fall 2010 Fashion Report: Leopard

The Animal print clothing and accessories trend has been around for quite awhile, but the Fall/Winter 2010 runways were chalk full of leopard prints, more than ever before. See below for a few runway looks...

Here are my favorite leopard pieces for fall:

Diane Von Furstenberg Della Dress

 Rebecca Taylor Cashmere Leopard Print Sweater

 J Crew Leopard Patent Belt

Asos Leopard Drop Waist Shift Dress

I love mixing different prints with leopard accessories, over the summer I've been big on floral dresses with my J Crew leopard belt around my waist. What are your opinions on mixing prints and the animal print craze for Fall/Winter 2010?

Home Inspiration

 I have HUNDREDS of home inspiration photos loaded into a folder on my laptop and have been obssesed lately with collecting them because my fiance and I are starting to look to buy our first home. My decorating style is modern with an Old Hollywood twist. Below are my favorite inspirational photos taken from various magazines, books, and blogs.

Fall 2010 Fashion: Army Green

Military influences are back again for Fall 2010, a trend I wasn't so hot on at first but now I can't get enough of Olive-green utility pieces. See below for Runway examples of this trend from the Fall 2010 Runway and then my own take on the trend.

L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanner Review

I'm a sucker for buying different self-tanners although I usually try and stay away from drugstore self-tanners because they tend to be orange-y and streaky, leaving me looking like I have a skin disease. *note: I have had the same experience with some high-end brands as well! I'd heard lots of good things about L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanner and decided to try it. I am so impressed with how easy is is to apply: you can see the gel go on as it is already a bronze-y color. After a couple hours I had a very even tan that looked more like I had been out in the sun {brown} rather than slathering myself with a self-tanner {orange}. It has been 3 days since I've applied the tanner and it still looks great with no splotchy-ness. One downside: I got a really bad breakout on my chin, which could be attributed to something else (I'm thinking maybe constant diet coke consumption if not the self-tanner). I normally have clear skin and rarely break out. My word of advice to anyone who tries it is not to use it on your face just in case.
What is your favorite self tanner? Do you usually apply it to your face?
