Goodbye Leopard, Hello Zebra


I was never a fan of animal prints, because unfortunetly when I think of a leopard printed shirt I picture an old lady with v-neck tight leopard printed shirt with unnecessary cleavage. However, I must say that some cute trendy clothes came out this past season where the leopard print worked. But not too many items. Zebra print however, I am a fan of. I just picked up an adorable A length zebra printed dress and a high waisted pink/black and white skirt and I really think I can work with it. So overall, as long as it's not over done or worn tacky, animal prints CAN work.

Get Those Legs Ready..

Here's my take on jean shorts. Last summer, like every summer, jean shorts takes the summer fashion by storm. You can pair them up with pretty much everything and your guaranteed to look adorable because your showing leg. Here's my question; how short is too short? I sometimes see girls walking around with jean short that are pretty much only covering their underwear, necessary? Not really. If it's still an article of clothing than shouldn't it be covering just a tad more?! Don't get me wrong, if you've got the legs, go for it sister but there's something very revealing and overbearing with short short jean shorts. My take; find the length that suits your body. If your legs aren't all that, make sure they are a bit more "washed out" or a lighter jean and that they reach mid thigh. Even if you do have killer legs, leave something to the imagination ladies. In this case; the shorter isn't necessarily the better.

Printed Flow

There has been this adorable look in stores everywhere of flowy, printed, low crotch comfortable pants. At first I tried them on at H&M and it looked like I was about to grab my computer and hop into bed to watch a movie. But then, I paired it with a tight tank top and strappy sandles and suddenly looked like I was ready for a rocker night out on the town. They are very risk-ay! But makes for a great, daring trend. So if your feeling the need for spice in your life grab these adorable printed pants for only 60 shekels at H&M.

How Did I live Without It..


For too long I tried to fight the jean jacket trend. It crawled back into hottest fashionable stores around spring of last year, but for some reason I couldn't get myself to wear one. As I did my weekly stroll in Zara, I stumbled upon the spring collection in TRF and could not stop eyeing this adorable light washed out jean jacket hanging on the wall with a colorful scarf wrapped around the manikin. I quickly ran over, tried it on, threw on a scarf nearby and looked in the mirror. And there it was. The perfect jean jacket. For a great price, the adorable jacket came home with me and I can't take it off. How did I ever live without one?
