Many weeks ago, I woke up at 3 AM for some reason thinking about this feather adorned panama hat I ordered from UrbanOutfitters (rawr sold out) which was enroute. I had to jump on the opportunity to get it! UO hats usually go for $30-50 a pop! And here she was first $20 and then $9.99. She was calling to me. What I woke up thinking about however was... how with my big ol' fro am I going to fit this hat on my head? I got on to google and typed in the question and lo and behold, it was youtube with its infinite wisdom to the rescue.

Delicate and Hard. Leopard Print. Tribal Hints. More Pleats Please!

Two of my most recent purchases included this H&M leather accordion mini skirt as well as this American Apparel almondine (shmancy) maxi accordion skirt. I love the mix of delicate things and with some edge. As the H&M is calling for some softness, I had to bring some gruffness to this beautiful almondine skirt I got from American Apparel. Both looks feature ALDO Buschur Leopard Pony Slipper Shoes.

Heels, shmeels. The newest way to add ease and sophistication to your outfits is with loafers! My affinity with loafers began with 80%20's Trudy Seersucker Wedge and since then I've been jonesing for another (million and one) pair(s). And it just so happens I have a wide variety of styles to choose from: animal prints, velvet, colors abound, even loafers with (get this) heels.

So how will you wear yours?

Perhaps pair your leopard print loafers with ModCloth's Essential Elegance Skirt and a crisp white tuxedo shirt to add spunk and effortlessness to your office wear.

Or peruse Urban Outfitter's broad list of cigarette jeans, add v-neck sweater and an elbow patch blazer. Finish off the look with a pair of lush black velvet loafers for a laid back menswear look.

OR for an all-around comfy chic style, go for an over sized cable knit sweater and sweater tights. Punctuate the grandpa look with either tapestry or tassel loafers.

Of course there are more styles out there--neon colors, studded, woven, metallic and of course as mentioned before heeled loafers... this means more ways to be creative! More looks you can create! Heck enough looks to wear loafers for the rest of your days!

Here are some of my favorite reasonably priced loafers from around the web. Just click the pic to buy!

whoa.

Go nuts, ladies.

Jessica Alba is THE pioneer of wearing the scarf most effectively in Hollywood (with Hilary Duff following closely behind). With a collection of colorful, bright, eye-catching scarves, its clear that this busy mom/actress really understands how to make fashion work for her lifestyle. The point is to let this versatile accessory do most of the work. So for you fashion handicapped: take note, my dears; This is an easy way to look effortlessly chic with the least effort possible.

Its not an optical illusion. Take the scarf away and you've got an outfit that anyone can put together. Jessica's casual plaid button downs, black bottoms and skinny jeans really are just wardrobe staples after all (seriously guys if you don't have any of those things in your closet, you're on the fast track to no where). But Jessica ups the ante with gorgeous lightweight scarves! She must have a closet just for her scarves. And maybe her shoes too (we're really loving those green striped ones!)

So, you want to look as good as this hot latina mama? Here are some scarves from some of our featured sites to add to your collection and get you started the summer.
