The designer sales are here! This means we can all find fabulous items from Chloe, Valentino, Gucci, Manolo Blahnik, Stella McCartney, Balenciaga, Aquazzura, and more on major sale! Yay!

I’m in shock! My favorite leopard print pumps are on major sale! These pumps are classic, pointy tote high heels which are made from suede and offer a classic leopard print. They are super comfortable, and I have actually had to run in them! No joke! My middle child used to like to run away from us, and I had to chase her down so she would not run into the street while wearing these heels a couple of years ago. Thankfully she has outgrown the dangerous running habit; seriously, it was stressful!

If you are looking for a fabulous pair of pumps, these are perfect! They are comfortable, classic, and since leopard print is hot for summer 2017, and fall 2017, they are on trend! Love that!

In addition to my beloved heels being on major sale, there are a few Chloe Drew’s on sale! I have one in off-white and I love it. If you have been eyeing the Chloe Drew, now is the time to snap one up!

I also found a couple of Balenciaga City Tote’s on sale! Eeeek! They NEVER go on sale. I bought a City Tote back in 2009 and I still love it. These are great casual handbags which are also extremely classic. If you have been on the fence about getting one, this is a great opportunity to grab one at a great price!

There are so many amazing deals right now so I rounded them up and placed my favorites in the collage below.

There are so many fabulous designer items on sale around the web right now. I sorted through them all and found the best deals on classic and on-trend items I think you would love. I know I love them!! Without further adieu, here are my picks from the designer sales!

Espadrilles for summer 2017

cute spring outfit ideas

Espadrilles for summer 2017 are a classic, yet hot trend for warm vacation months. Although espadrilles are a summer season staple, this year they seem to be exploding more then usual. Designers have given us traditional wedges, and classic slip-ons, but they have also put out espadrilles for summer which are slides, platforms, and sneakers. Those three styles are quite trendy!

Personally, I like classic slip-on espadrilles, or wedges, for the summer months. Wedge espadrilles are great because they are comfortable, and breathable in hot weather, yet offer the height we need for dressy occasions; or when we want to emulate a high-heel look.

Slip-on espadrilles are fabulous due to their comfortable, effortless nature. Flat, slip-ons are my go-to for daily activities.

Espadrilles for summer 2017 are important in fashion this season because they seem to work well with our current fashion trends. Gingham, ruffles, peek-a-boo shoulders, and flowing silhouettes are hot trends in fashion for the summer season. Shoes which offer too much structure just don’t work well with these styles. Espadrilles have a carefree vibe and look to them, so they compliment all of the playful styles we have to choose from this summer.

If you don’t own a pair of espadrilles yet, this is the season to invest in a flat pair, and a pair of wedges! My ivory pair is several years old, and my black pair is from last summer. Although they are both from previous seasons, the styles are still for sale at stores, and they are still relevant and fashionable. These are classic espadrille wedge styles which make great investment pieces for several summer seasons to come!

The pale pink pair I own is new this year. They are so comfortable, I know I will wear them for the next few summers too.

Which espadrille style do you love this season?

Leopard print for summer 2017

 in Handbags / Shoes / Trends  tagged street style trends / summer 2017 by

wearing: leopard print pumps (I have owned these for several years, they are a classic! They are really comfortable and perfect every fall season-and this summer too!)

Can you believe it? Leopard print is hot for summer! This classic fall trend is arriving early this year, and turning into one of the hottest trends for the summer 2017 season. Meow!

Leopard print can be found on almost anything you can imagine. The best way to wear it is all over! Look for fabulous swimwear, dresses, tops, pants, jumpsuits, rompers, and accessories. Like I said, on almost everything!

from top left: leopard print tank top (On my wish list and under $200) / animal print sunglasses (under $100!) / leopard print scarf (only $30!!) / espadrilles (these are so cute, totally on my wish list for summer!) / fold-over clutch (popular bag with staying power under $300) / leopard print twist slides (IT shoe alert!) / leopard print layered skirt (so cute!)

The items highlighted above are my favorite leopard print items from around the web. They are great to wear now, throughout the summer, and into early fall. The skirt, twist slides, and clutch are ideal to well through summer and fall; they work in any weather!

Leopard print is a classic trend, but seeing it for summer 2017 is a treat! What do you think of wearing leopard print one season early this year? Is this a trend you plan to follow? Or will you wait until fall to rock the animal print trend?
