animal prints, remixed

I love graphic print tops with weird, slightly horrifying animals. My obsession started with Christopher Kane's collaboration with Topshop in 2009, and my favorite emerging designer, Leila Shams, is a whiz when it comes to prints. But how do you make something so bold acceptable as daywear?





Worn over a crisp button down with tailored black pants and a matching jacket, you've got a conservative overall look with a pop of spectacular peeking out from under the formality. Depending on the event, pair with a pair of power heels or avant garde booties, and you're ready for a power lunch - or if you're me, to Food Truck Thursday on 12th & Peachtree.




I fell in love with the Darn Churrasco from the Ibiza Bites truck. If you catch this truck wandering around Atlanta, order this dish! Steak with a cilantro sauce on a bed of rice, corn, mushrooms, and topped with two plantains - this was so delicious I barely had time to wipe my mouth before providing a sound byte to a camera crew. I'm going to be on public television! (I can finally cross that off my bucket list.)
