living life like it's going out of style...
I’ve never been one to invest in outerwear, but that may need to change in the coming seasons because I am lusting after so many fall 2011 coats right now it’s insane.

Unlike blogger bff, Alicia of Cheetah is the New Black, I’ve never been one to be really into animal prints. Something about them never has me oo-ing and ahh-ing. I do, however, love when I see fellow fashion bloggers rocking the trend. Like ProFreshStyle, Sterling Style and Something Navy.
The most animal print I ever go for is subtle, like this giraffe printed cardigan from a few years back (and that actually belongs to Andrea!)
And, (side note) shockingly, this Michael Kors bag I’ve had for almost a year now has not yet made it into any outfit posts until now. I love it though and the leather is about the softest thing you’ll ever feel. Makes me think of the butterscotch leather seen at Cynthia Steffe’s Spring 2011 show…yum!
Do you rock animal prints? If so, how and when? Share links to pics if you have ‘em, too!

Cynthia Steffe is a favorite brand of mine (Andrea and I write about the line a lot) and designer Shaun Kearny has done amazing things for the line since taking over the reigns.
The Spring 2011 show last month that I attended was upbeat, colorful and classic Cynthia Steffe meaning pieces were for the modern city girl who wants to throw something on and look instantly put together.
Certain pieces I definitely didn’t love, mostly because I knew the price point wouldn’t make them worthwhile buys, but overall it was a memorable collection.
Likes:
Bowed leather belts
Color-blocking
Butterscottch leather
Vibrant color palette
Cut out details – especially on the shoulders

Drawstrings

Favorite piece that came down the runway? This tiered, butterscotch leather skirt
Statement dress for sure.
Loving all the color in this look and one great example of the shoulder cut-out details I was talking about.
Shaun’s belts for this collection were beyond. This is a great example.
Love this. Easy, Breezy.
My second favorite piece from the collection.
I think I’d love this dress even more in the Fall. I’d pair it with boots and a sleek leather bomber jacket.
This dress looks like heaven to wear. Yummy to say the least.
