Moody Picks – Leopard is a Neutral

Jenna Lyons definitely got it right when she said, “As far as I'm concerned leopard is a neutral."  Like Jenna, I take my leopard in small doses and I believe leopard print shoes are the easiest way to liven up an outfit.  I’ve always loved the look of leopard print and as a result this print is slowly taking over my shoe collection.  One can never have too many shoes right?  Well, I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite leopard shoes from this season that will be sure to add a little flair to your life.  Are you looking to add a touch of leopard to your wardrobe?  What’s your favorite way to add leopard to your outfits?

Moody Picks – Plaid Blanket Scarf

As many of you know the blanket scarf trend is getting more popular and literally getting bigger each year.  Check out Burberry’s much larger blanket scarf/coat here – isn’t it fabulous?  I know that many of us missed out last year on ZARA’s infamous sold-out camel plaid blanket scarf (seen on AP here).  Many of us took to eBay in droves to track down any duplicate we could find to satisfy that immediate need.  This year ZARA came out with 3 more blanket scarves patterns that are already sold out online - which I’m not surprised. I’m secretly hoping that they will restock each of them at least one more time before the end of the year. If you are like me, some of you have been searching high and low for the perfect blanket scarf to add to your wardrobe this season.  Well, fret no more, I’ve done some of the research for you.  Here’s a quick guide of some affordable blanket scarf alternatives that will keep you both warm and cozy this fall/winter.  Have you added a blanket scarf to your fall/winter wardrobe yet? Where did you find yours? Let me know in the comments.

Moody Picks – Wear Pink!

I’ve been meaning to bring back my previously named Fresh Picks to Follow segment for some time, but I never had a chance until now.  I figure that this today is as good a time as any especially since it’s the beginning of October.  By now, we all know that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) and that it’s time to support breast cancer research if you haven’t already started.  There are so many different organizations that are working tirelessly to help prevent, treat, and ultimately eliminate breast cancer.   And you can help fund the fight against breast cancer by scooping up one of the many pink-ribbon inspired products.  I’ve rounded up 8 of my favorite products that give back a portion of their proceeds to research while continuing to spread awareness. How will you show your support for Breast Cancer Awareness month? Let me know in the comments.
