Flashy Fringe

When I think of fringe;  playful and party come to mind. Not to mention it embraces this summer's Great Gatsby's 1920's glitz theme. Amplifying the texture even more is the layering of lace. Today's version is somewhat dressed down, but could totally steal the spotlight by adding a sequin tank and a glass of champagne! (always add champagne) Though I have embraced the ensemble as black and white, color could easily be added with a bold clutch or bag,  an edgy pump or simply a coral lip!

Animal Instincts

Feeling slightly preppy today, I went with a more structured look. I've always been a fan of elephants  so they are hard for me to resist when on a shopping rampage! I love navy, but it can be difficult to pair with denim because of the color contrast, so I like to mix it in with different tints. To finish it off, I slipped on my glitter smoking slipper. Nothing like the power of a little glitz!
