Monthly Style Obsessions: October

I've been adding subtle traces of leopard print in with my outfits lately. It's a trend that keeps coming back and has been all over the Fall-Winter 2012-2013 collections. Here are the ways I've been safely incorporating leopard print into my wardrobe:

1. J.Crew Leopard Print Scarf (similar here)
2. Alexander Wang Ponyhair Prisma Wristlet
3. Nocona Jungle Crystal Bracelet
4. Sabine Faux Leopard Hair Bangle
5. Anne Klein Zya Animal Print Pumps

One of my most recent obsessions is the pairing of a deep burgundy with a bright magenta. It's a great way to transition your summer pinks into fall. I'm absolutely loving the burgundy peplum top above which happens to be from the Topshop Tall section (for all you tall ladies!).
