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?

Wearing: Kendra Scott earrings / YSL lipstick / pink ruffle top c/o SheIn (under $20!!) / Chanel spring nail polish / watch c/o Welly Merck (use code BAF20 to save 20%) / rose gold ring / boyfriend jeans (similar here) / tote c/o Boutique Mexico /  suede slides c/o Donald J Pliner

One of the biggest trends this year is tiered ruffle sleeves. Ruffle sleeves seem to be everywhere for spring; despite the fact that they did not dominate the runways. This has turned into a trend which is well-loved by the street; unlike most street style trends, this is a flirty and feminine style trend. Love it!

I was thrilled to find this cute pink top with tiered ruffle sleeves for the spring season. Not only does it cost under $20, it is right on trend. The fabric is easy to to iron and stays wrinkle-free after ironing. I ironed this top, and then wore it  to run errands for about three hours before my daughter snapped these pictures; and it looks great! Love that!

Isn’t this tote bag cute?! There is a huge trend right now towards couture from Mexico. It is one of the hottest up-and-coming regions for hand-made fashion. This tote was hand-made in Talum, Mexico. I have a full review of this tote and the company coming up on the blog this Friday-so stay tuned!

If you are looking for a graduation gift, Mother’s Day gift, Father’s Day gift, or a gift for yourself, check out this Welly Merck watch. You can save 20% off your purchase with coupon code BAF20. My full review is online here.

Back to this tiered ruffle sleeve top, I have fallen in love with this spring trend. I know I will find myself wearing this top often this spring; and on cool summer days when the fog rolls in over the Santa Cruz Mountains. You can find this fun and flirty top for under $20 online here.

Denim for spring 2017 is a huge trend which originated on the runways. Of course, one could argue that denim is always hot, but this season, it is hotter than hot! So it ground-breaking, in a way. Ha!

This is a fabulous trend for spring and summer since denim is casual by nature; and denim is always comfortable! This means you can look fashionable, and fabulous, while wearing something practical, washable, and comfortable. Love that!

Denim is being found on everything for spring from shoes to handbags to accessories to clothing. There is something for everyone in denim this season. Even on a hot summer day, when jeans are too thick, you can rock a denim handbag or a pair of denim shoes, and still be wearing the denim trend for spring and summer.

In the collage above, I placed my favorite pieces in denim for spring 2017. I have also included more of my favorite denim pieces for spring in the scroll bar below. How do you plan to wear denim for spring this year? Is this a trend you plan to rock for spring and summer 2017?
