OOTN: Bars & Long Sweater Dresses

Hello everyone! So last Saturday I wore this outfit to the bar, and I thought I would do a quick outfit of the night (ootn) post! Since it was a more casual night, I left my 5 inch heels at home and went for an ankle boot. Plus it's been a little cold here in Victoria lately (brr I'm a baby), my toes would not have been very happy in heels! For my outfit, I adore the look of a long sweater dress that comes down past the knees. It is very form fitting and comfortable, I think these types of dresses are perfect for still looking chic and stylish during the winter season! What do you think?! To finish, I paired it with a leather jacket to give it an edgier look. I feel they are appropriate to still wear inside, and if it gets warm, take it off:) I plan on wearing this look to work soon, but instead of this jacket, I am going to wear it with a cropped black blazer, as I think it'll be more fitting for day time! PS: I wore a peacoat over top to keep me warm! ;)

Next time you come across a long sweater dress, give it a try! Maybe you can put together your version of an outfit with it to hit up a pub (or pubs) in, where you will be looking super fab!!

Happy 1 Year Leopard Couture + Giveaway!

Happy Friday everyone! Today I am celebrating my blog's 1 year anniversary!! I can't believe a year has passed since my very first post. It has been an incredible journey! I started my blog while on exchange in Tokyo, and I think it was one of the best decisions I have ever made! Blogging has definitely helped me figure out what direction I want to go with my career and life! I had many reasons behind starting Leopard Couture, including wanting to write about fashion trends and beauty tips, and sharing my personal style advice! Another reason being, I realized how amazing trying new styles of clothing was!! It opened up my mind to try new things and give everything a chance! I wanted to share this with all of you and I always encourage you to experiment with new trends and styles! I hope I have inspired some of you along the way with my posts!:)

Cutting Edge Looks to Rock This Summer

Need to add a little kick to your style this summer? You're in luck! Today I have for you 2 separate outfit ideas you can wear (with a dark lip) to rock the subtle edgy look. To find pieces to achieve this kind of look is Reunion Boutique, formerly known as Rebel Rebel. It is a popular urban chic boutique with brands from LA, NY, Sweden and Italy! With a wide range of styles there's literally a little bit of everything for everyone!;) Their feminine and edgy pieces is what attracts me into their store over and over again!

Outfit #1: Leather & Leopard 

I love everything about this first outfit!! The top is a faux leather crop top, that I can promise will go with so many things in your closet! Very versatile! The shorts are leopard print..I don't think I need to expand any more;) The cut of both pieces are so unique and I am a huge fan of them together! I love mixing different textures and prints in an outfit. It adds so much personality to the look, I definitely encourage you to give it a try too! Finally, the necklace is very simple but it's what pulls the outfit together! (Never forget your accessories ladies!)
