What's Black and White and Chic All Over? Zebra Print!

I have to admit, I'm usually not a fan of animal prints. But something about the zebra print recently has really been calling my name. Michael Kors was feeling the zebra this season, too -- he sent models down the runway in various iterations on the classic animal motif (like the one above). These are my favorite takes on the trend.


1) Diane von Furstenberg Botswana Multicolored Flats
From the juicy hue to the hint of zebra at the heel, this flat is a showstopper.

Oh, to have thousands of dollars to spare. I'd definitely spring for this blue and black draped tunic.

There's no shielding your eyes from the paparazzi in a fun pair of sunglasses like these.

Utterly Ladylike: Michael Kors Eau de Parfum

Once in awhile, I come across a fragrance that just makes me feel sophisticated, chic and ladylike. Recently, that fragrance has been Michael Kors Eau de Parfum. Every time I spritz on even the tiniest bit, I instantly feel like the best version of myself.

An exotic array of notes make up this luxurious fragrance. Notes of creamy florals blend with exotic spices before being tamed by Moroccan incense, creating a sexy, sensual experience. One spray and you're whisked away by a combination of dewy freesia, tamarind, Chinese osmanthus, incense, fresh tuberose, white wings peony, blue orris, arum lilies, cashmere woods, musk and vetiver Haiti.

And the best part? It's not overpowering. A simple spritz on each wrist and you'll be pleasantly enveloped throughout the day without that cloying, headachey feel.

Michael Kors Eau de Parfum retails for $70-$90.

Totally in Love: With Love, Michael Kors

That's right, I've fallen in love. But not with a guy ... much to my mother's chagrin, of course. No, right now I'm totally and completely head over heels for With Love, Michael Kors.

This absolutely adorable trio of rollerballs comes packaged in a box with a cutout heart at the front -- which just makes my heart overflow with love! And come on, you all know how much I love a rollerball. I just can't get enough! So a boxed set of three unbelievably beautiful fragrances just makes me feel over the moon.

There's the Very Pretty Eau de Parfum Rollerball, which is the original Michael Kors fragrance but punched up a notch with floral notes. There's the Eau de Parfum Rollerball, which has spices, woods, incense and tuberose undertones. And then there's the Eau de Toilette Rollerball, an intoxicating floral. Altogether? Totally enough to make my heart race.

And yours will race too. Simply head to michaelkors.com and pick up your own set for $40. That is, if I haven't scooped up every last one.
