Free People Love II

I've shared my love for Free People stores in the past and can confidently say that my affection has not dwindled one bit since. The eclectic variety of clothing and accessories paired with an eye for effortless bohemian styling have provided them with a loyal following, myself included. They manage to remain conscious of fashion trends while not giving into them completely, thus allowing them to acquire a unique niche in the fashion market. I would love to take a peek into the creative minds of their stylists who perpetually succeed in combining unexpected pieces for awe-inspiring results.

Leopard Love

As signs of Fall arrive, leopard undoubtedly makes an appearance like clockwork. There is something about the neutral palette and the coziness of faux-fur that allow this pattern to remain a Fall/Winter fashion staple year after year. There are so many ways to incorporate the pattern into your wardrobe, whether you go bold with a faux-fur jacket or more demure with just a hint of leopard on a scarf or clutch. This neutral palette also remains equally chic when paired with other neutral colours like black and ivory as it does with more brazen colours like red and cobalt. However you choose to wear it one thing is for sure: the power of this pattern remains relentless, which in my book makes anything leopard the perfect fashion investment.
