Good Morning readers, when Bath & Body Works asked me to create a fall look inspired by their new Wild Madagascar Vanilla fragrance, leopard print immediately popped into my mind. I was imagining a leopard print top or dress to bring out the wild side of the exotic Island of Madagascar.  However, the minute I got a whiff of the delicious new vanilla fragrance I started leaning more towards a softer color to complement sweet scent. I couldn’t quite put my finger on the color I was envisioning until I came across this matching blush set! I feel like this pastel pink color paired with a pop of leopard print portrays the fragrance perfectly!

What do you think? Well, I guess you’d have to smell the products first, but maybe some information will help.

The scent’s key notes are: Bath & Body Works’ Madagascar Vanilla Accord, African Pear, Wild Jasmine and White Sandalwood. Bath & Body Works basically put fall in a bottle so you can bring it with you everywhere! I especially love the smell of the scented candle and hand soap in my kitchen and bathroom.  You have to make sure to try it out and tell me what you think! Did I hit the nail on the head with this look? How would you have styled a look to fit this fragrance?  See more photos below.

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a great weekend!  I did a lot of organizing and planning over the weekend, but I did make time to enjoy dinner with friends on Friday!  I actually wore this same dress to dinner! It’s the best dinner dress because it’s so loose on the stomach and hips!

If you can get your hands on this adorable drop waist dress at your local loft store or online, I highly recommend that you buy it. I guarantee that it will become your new favorite dress for fall.  It’s one of those dresses that I wish I would have bought two of in the case that something happens to this one!

Good Morning readers, when the Emeril Lagasse Foundation asked me if I’d be interested in highlighting the attire for the Emeril Lagasse Foundation’s Boudin, Bourbon & Beer Festival I immediately jumped at the opportunity. It wasn’t until after I agreed that I realized I had no idea what “cajun cocktail” attire meant! Fortunately, I was able to track down some friends who attended the event last year and they told me they wore cowboy boots and dresses.  If you know me, you know that I have never owned a pair of cowboy boots. So I decided to come up with my own version of “cajun cocktail” attire.

If you saw yesterday’s post then you know that I already styled this dress two different ways for the event. To me, “cajun cocktail” attire means fun and casual with a hint of color and some added flair.  For my first outfit, I paired the dress with an olive vest, ankle boots and a hobo style handbag for an effortlessly chic look. For my second look, I went for a fun and edgy vibe with the suede fringe vest and cross body bag in wine. I added the leg warmers for some stylish details to elevate the whole outfit.
