east vs west [coast] style. leopard.

welcome to the east vs. west [coast] style collaboration.

we had so much fun with the summer collaboration, that we're back to share our takes on four fall trends. as always, it'll be interesting to see how lifestyle and location influence style across the states. we're starting off with one of my favorites, leopard.

hope you take the time to visit these stylish ladies.

here's the crew:

east

Jackie / Living After Midnite / New York

Meaghan / District Sparkle / D.C.

Tracy / TheRightShoes / New York

west

Ashley / Golden Divine / Arizona

Ashley / Pursuit of Shoes / California

Becks / oomph. / Hawaii

i decided to give this leopard romper a fun spin by pairing it with a striped skirt. the romper's belt, tied like a sash, was wide enough to cover most of the skirt's black waistband...gives it a more seamless look. completed the look with an emerald necklace and these ah-mazing shoes from JustFab.

sometimes something happens that just puts you in a mood for the rest of the day. it wasn't anything bad, and it wasn't anyone's fault, but it just lingered in my head for most of the day. enough that i didn't really get anything done. i did have a grilled cheese sandwich with fries and a no-foam soy latte which were both really yummy, so that was good.

here's to getting over this hump day.

foxy brown wouldn't leave me alone...she kept nudging me!

tired of seeing this book?

me too. i hope to finish it soon. i was thinking about the characters and wondered what they looked like. one of the main characters is an ex-pro basketball star with all the physical traits that go along with that, plus he's a badass agent of some sort who can fight his was out of a sticky situation.

but his name is myron. i just can't picture it.

don't you wish all books were made into movies?

do you put much thought into the characters as you read a book?

a mix-up in paperwork has highschooler, jane, living a double life as a twenty-something assistant in the fast-paced world of fashion. jane sports the most amazing outfits and is always (literally) running around in fabulous heels. the show has a nice balance of teen drama, workplace politics, and flirty romances...a little something for everyone. i was surprised to learn that this is a new show and look forward to the summer premier in june.

hi-low again...you're back.

feeling a bit sick today. there's a bad cough germ floating around our house. thought i was getting better,

but...it's baaaack. catch up with you soon.
