I have always loved leopard print, probably a little too much if I’m being honest, and it is FINALLY in style, haha! I usually don’t worry if something is on trend or not, if I like it, I buy. More than likely if it’s in store it’s going to be on trend, but what I’m getting at, is if I see something hideous on the runway I’m not going to go out and buy it just because it was at New York Fashion Week. If you like to buy things that are trending there is nothing wrong with that at all, so I hope I don’t offend anyone by saying that. I am just letting y’all know how I shop. Anyways, I try to be as open and honest with y’all as I can, so I do have to admit there were several trends over the summer that I almost gave into and bought because “everybody had them” and I wanted to post them on my blog/instagram. I didn’t cave though because if I didn't truly like the items and didn’t want to wear them personally I didn’t want to post them. I only post items that I truly like and products I believe in. The animal print trend I am 100% down with though and I am honestly excited about it!

As I mentioned before I love leopard print and now that it’s on trend it’s everywhere and I am in animal print heaven. I have several animal print outfits, but today I’m just going to talk about two pairs of leopard print shoes that I am currently loving. The first pair I have had since the Nordstrom sale and I posted them before but I just shared stock photos. I wanted to show them again in this post so you can see how I styled them, and the shoes I’m talking about are the leopard print mule by the brand Halogen. These are actually sold out right now, but if y’all want I can definitely tell you when they are back in stock. I think these are perfect for transitioning into fall because your toes are covered for those chilly evenings and they look so cute with cardigans which is what I paired mine with in these photos. The cardigan in the picture is actually the one I've talked about a bunch on my instagram from TopShop, the one from Nordstrom. I think these are perfect for traveling as well because they are easy to slip on and off and are stylish. I wore my Kora Fitness leggings with mine so they are great with leggings or jeans. I love wearing mine with black skinny jeans so you can see the mule since they are so cute. Keep checking this post or my shop tab to see if they are back in stock.

They next pair of shoes I just recently purchased and I love these too. These are a little pricey, but the great thing about on trend products is there are always dupes. Gap has a smilier pair that actually cost more, but you can get 40% off anything online or in store right now so I’ll go ahead and link those too. These booties are by the brand Sole Society and I got these at Nordstrom as well. Booties are always great for fall/winter and these go with so many outfits. Right now in Tennessee it has still been in the 80’s, which I’m not complaining about, but that means it’s still a little warm for cardigans. That is why why I paired these booties with shorts and a short sleeve shirt. I like to call this outfit “Tennessee Fall” attire. You can always add a cardigan to this outfit too if it’s cooler where you live. When I think of booties I always think fall and for some reason hats like these make me think of fall too. Quick story, I saw this hat advertised on my instagram from Gap and I thought it was so cute, so I saved it and ended up ordering it later. The shorts I bought when I went to Florida at a cute little boutique in Pier Park called The Florida House. I will link their Instagram here. I did’t buy the shorts to go with the hat or vise versa and they match perfectly! They are actually the same exact color and I am obsessed with the combo. Add in these super cute booties and you get my new favorite outfit!

Do y’all like shopping for items that are on trend or do you just buy what you like and if it happens to be on trend it’s on trend?
