Animal Print is Taking Over! The Leopard Wrap Dress You Need This Fall.

WAYF, Gwyneth Velvet Wrap Midi Dress

What lady doesn’t love leopard print? 

Leopard print has long been a wardrobe staple for stylish women, but get ready to see the trend really take over for fall and some additional animal prints are ready to join the party. From luxe leopard to snakeskin and zebra, there are endless options to take your look to the wild side this fall.

This leopard wrap dress from WAYF is $100 and can easily transition from fall to winter. This leopard-print velvet dress with an ankle-grazing wrap silhouette can be worn casually with a denim jacket or dressed up for a holiday party! Frankly, this dress is flattering, I don’t have to wear Spanx and with the help of a little pushup bra, I’m feeling fab for fall.

Leopard + Spots: not necessarily your first thoughts when thinking fall fashion… 

But this fun pattern play works…right?

The leopard comes courtesy of the J.Crew original No. 2 pencil skirt. This classic silhouette is back, with a waistband that sits lower on your waist and a flattering fall appropriate knee length. Leopard print is having a serious moment for fall and this simple pencil skirt is a worthy investment. Not ready to splurge? J. Crew Factory has a very similar skirt for a quarter of the price here.

Now the spots come from an ASOS coat from last winter that is still in stock! This coat was a hit last fashion week. This lightweight coat is perfect for chilly fall mornings and has easily worked its way into my wardrobe year-round – thanks to San Francisco’s year-round fall like weather.

What do you think of this pattern play? Was it a hit or a miss?

Easy Travel Looks For The Girl On The Go

Are you the last person on the airplane always looking like the hot mess express?

That was literally ALWAYS me. Sliding into the gate like it was home plate, spilling my coffee everywhere and looking like I just rolled out of bed. Well, my friends, at the ripe old age of 32 I have (almost) figured it all out. Gone are the days of glamourous travel, but with just a little bit of effort and punctuality you can look fab and arrive at your destination in comfort and style.

So I present to you three of my favorite easy travel looks:

Easy Travel Looks, KatWalkSF, Kat Ensign, White Luggage, Comfy Pants, Dad Sneakers, Goyard, Goyard Duffle, Girlfriend Collective, Sunglasses, Kat Ensign, Kathleen Ensign, Travel Blogger, Travel With Me, Girls Who Travel

Look #1 – I got a blowout and I’m not afraid to show it off.

Starting your travels with a fresh blowout is rule number of looking like a travel pro even though you just want to be comfortable and have no idea what you are doing. I almost always do my best to schedule a blowout the day of or night before I travel. Good hair goes a long way and there is nothing worse than landing at your destination knowing that you have to unpack all your hair care products and wash your hair.

Top: RE/DONE (c/o), Cropped Boxy T-shirt

Leggings: Girlfriend Collective (c/o), Black Compressive High-Rise Legging

Shoes: Public Desire (c/o), Cheetah Chunky Trainers

Sunglasses: Le Specs, The Prince Sunglasses

Bags: Goyard + Gabbinao (c/o), Avila Collection 3-Piece Hardside Upright Spinner Set

American Eagle, AERIE, Gucci Sneakers, Sole Society, Sole Society Weekender, Kat Ensign, Kathleen Ensign, Traveler, Travel Blogger, Easy Travel Look, Real Travel Look

Look #2 – A matching sweatsuit goes a long way.

This sweatsuit is not pricey and instantly makes you look like you know what you are doing when it comes to travel. A matching set elevates your look (even if they are just oversized rust colored joggers) and matching luggage takes that look to the next level.

Sweatshirt: Aerie, Hometown Sweatshirt

Joggers: Aerie, Destroyed City Jogger

Sneakers: Gucci, Rhyton Leather Sneakers

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban, Large Original 62mm Aviator

Weekender: Sole Society (c/o), Mason Weekend Bag

Luggage: Gabbiano (c/o), Avila Collection 3-Piece Hardside Upright Spinner Set

Easy Travel Looks, KatWalkSF, Kat Ensign, White Luggage, Comfy Pants, Dad Sneakers, Goyard, Goyard Duffle, Girlfriend Collective, Sunglasses, Kat Ensign, Kathleen Ensign, Travel Blogger, Travel With Me, Girls Who Travel

Look #3 – Head-to-Toe Black = Chic

When in doubt, keep it simple and chic in head-to-toe black. These are also great pieces to have in your travel wardrobe. I have been living in these black leggings from Girlfriend Collective. These extra high-rise leggings with four-way stretch are basically everything you need to get through your favorite high-impact activities, like running, yoga, binge-watching housewives and travel.

Sweatshirt: H&M, Relaxed-fit Sweatshirt

Leggings: Girlfriend Collective (c/o), Black Compressive High-Rise Legging

Shoes: Public Desire (c/o), Cheetah Chunky Trainers

Sunglasses: Le Specs, The Prince Sunglasses

It’s no secret that ASOS is one of my favorite online retailers for affordable trendy fashion – more on ASOS here + here.

So when ASOS has a sale I am always ready to stock up, especially at the end of the summer when we’re transitioning our wardrobes from summer to fall.

Now before you shop the ASOS Spend More Save More Sale there a couple of things you should know about ASOS:

  • PREMIER DELIVERY is a must. Sign up for Premier Delivery USA and get unlimited two-day shipping with no minimum order value for a whole year. Speedy, hassle-free shopping just got even better.
  • ASOS does not offer exchanges in the United States. So if you buy something at 20% off and you want to exchange it for another size you have to pay full price for the new size. This is SO annoying, so I always buy two sizes and return the size that doesn’t fit. ASOS makes returns very easy and they always include a free shipping label.
  • If you want it, buy it. Chances are things are going to sell out on ASOS, especially during a sale event. The sale goes until 9/14 and everything fabulous is guaranteed to sell out!
