Leopard and Stripes

Stripes and Leopard Print, an unexpected but surprisingly classic fashion combination. Stripes are a staple wardrobe that can (usually) never be over worn, while leopard prints are a growing trend this season, but tend to scare people away due to its bold pattern. These two patterns are on opposite sides of the fashion spectrun, but balance each other out to make a fun yet classic combination. Since leopard prints are bold, I tend to keep them with accessories while having the actual clothing pieces incorporate stripes. This helps balance the outfit without the outfit being too much.

Casual and Laid Back

One of the simplest ways of combining stripes and leopard print is by also having a neutral item, such as jeans in the outfit. This outfit shown above is perfect for a day out and incorporates leopard print through a few accessories without being overdone and tacky. First pair of a striped tee with a pair of dark wash skinny jeans. As for the leopard print, wear a pair of leopard printed flats with a leopard printed tote bag. Finish the look off with some simple, pearl stud earrings.

Fall Night Out

This next outfit is more on the dressier side and would be work well for a day to night look. The outfit incorporates not only stripes and leopard print, but also other textures such as leather. Start off the outfit with a simple striped dress. Add a leopard printed belt for a small pop of color and a pair of black earrings to compliment the belt. To make this outfit more appropriate for the fall, add a taupe leather jacket and a pair of taupe booties. These taupe and neutral pieces will help lighten the outfit and won't class with the mixing prints in the outfit.

High Waisted Skirts and Heels

This last outfit is another dressy way to combine stripes and leopard print. This outfit subtly adds the thin stripes with the statement shoe, making it classic outfit that is perfect for a night out during the fall. Pair together a striped navy and white top with a black high-waisted skirt. Add a pair of leopard printed heels as a statement piece. Lastly, finish the outfit off with a black crossbody bag and a black necklace. By pairing black pieces with the striped top and leopard printed heels, the outfit is kept classic without any of the pieces clashing.

Get the Look: NYFW Diane Von Furstenberg Runway Show Makeup Look!

New York Fashion Week was last week and after looking at some of the runway designs, I didn't want anything more than to attend some of the shows! Although most of us aren't able to attend the events, it's actually easy to recreate some of the makeup looks from the runways! This look in particular is based off the look from the Diane Von Furstenberg Runway show. It features a simple gray-brown smokey eye is natural face makeup and a nude lip, making it great for not only a night look for next spring, but also for the fall!

• BB Cream: Start the makeup with a BB cream for light coverage and a dewy finish.
• Bronzer: Lightly sweep the bronzer in the hollows of your cheekbones, on your temples, and down the jawline for a little bit of definition.
• Light Pink Blush: For a little bit of color, apply the blush on the apples of your cheeks, sweeping and blending it up to the sides of your face.
• Illuminater: This is a key part of the look. For the dewy finish, apply to the tops of your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose and to your cupids bow and lightly blend.

• Light Brown Eyeshadow: Apply the light brown eyeshadow lightly in the crease as a transition color.
• Dark Brown-Gray Eyeshadow: First apply this eyeshadow lightly all over the lid then to the crease and outer corner using a fluffy crease brush, blending the color well. Blend the eyeshadow out a little past the outer corner of the eye. Next, using a crease or pencil brush, apply more eyeshadow to the upper lash line and lower lash line and blend slightly.
• Shimmery Light Beige Eyeshadow: Apply a little to the inner corners to brighten the eye look.

• Glitter Gold Liner: Apply this eyeliner to the waterline and also apply a little lightly on the upper lash line. Next, go over the eyeliner that is on the upper lash line with a little bit of the dark brown gray eyeshadow.
• Black Mascara: Finish the eye look by applying mascara to your upper and lower lashes!

• Nude Pink Lipstick: Since the model had a simple lip look with just a lipstick, apply the lip color to finish off the look!
