Why aren't you wearing this? Croc-embossed Bangle

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves


We love animal-inspired accessories. Animal prints and faux skins have become even more popular in mainstream fashion after the safari trend this past spring and summer, and we're anxious to continue incorporating these looks into our fall wardrobes. However, for some occasions, such as work, we prefer to keep our animal embellishments on the subtle side.

London Fashion Week - Julien MacDonald

Filed under: Fashion Week

Julien MacDonald said that the collection he presented today during London Fashion Week was inspired by a fantasy safari, but we're wondering if he wasn't also a tiny bit influenced by the infamous Gisele water dress ad -- there was so much movement to all the garments!

Filed under: Style in the News, Men, Celebrities with Style


Good news for those of us who like to dress like a loose-cannon archaeologist who just got back from a trek through the African Savannah: the safari look is back. Ok, maybe it never quite left, but with the latest installment of the Indiana Jones movies hitting the big screen, safari fashion is roaring back into full force.

Designers are turning out all kinds of safari-inspired designs, decked out with all the unnecessary pockets, straps, and belt loops for the safari gadgets that you probably won't ever carry. Still, the look is rugged, military and functional -- 3 things that make you feel like a badass who can get through any kind of dangerous, life or death situation. Shouldn't fashion inspire confidence? Plus, we like any style that allows us to successfully incorporate a bull whip.

We are really digging the safari trend this year. The khakis, browns, and blacks are so easy to mix and match, pretty much anyone can pull off, and it just begs for gorgeous, funky accessories.

Wild Woman: Spring Safari Trend

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing, Dresses

Wild Woman: Safari Chic

'Safari Chic' is a one of Spring 2008's leading trends. The safari trend is nothing new but this season there is definitely a new spin on it. The look isn't as rugged and boxy as it has been in past seasons. In 2008 more structured cargo pieces are being paired with draped pieces to soften the look. Some of my favorite pieces for spring come from some of the hottest contemporary designers around:

3.1 Phillip Lim Oversized safari cardigan
The safari look is hot for spring 08 and this cardigan is perfect if you only wanted to buy one piece for this trend. Wear it with a dress, or wear it as a dress. I bet this cardigan would look good over jeans or even gray pants.

Tom Ford Aviator sunglasses

When I think about safari I think about aviators and when I think about chic I think Tom Ford. Put them all together and what do you got? Yep, you guessed it 'Safari Chic.'

Maison Martin Margiela Bamboo knitted long cardigan
This bamboo cardigan is pretty freaking sweet. Every wardrobe needs a new go-to comfy sweater each spring for those chilly nights.

Helmut Lang Draped racer tank top
The safari trend used to be all brown and khaki but this spring 2008 season gray has been added into the mix. I love the idea of mixing this draped piece with a more structured cargo jacket.

Alice + Olivia Sequin Panel Tank Dress
This is an example of a safari looks that is much more fun. Alice + Olivia have added their signature sequins to this khaki pocket dress.

Dolce & Gabbana Safari Shorts

You can't go on a safari without fashionable shorts. I love these from Dolce & Gabbana they will stay stylish for years and years to come.
