Circular Photo Prints (an Etsy Roundup)

I've had a recent obsession with circular cropped photos.  I think it's especially intriguing with seascapes, because the shape is reminiscent of looking out a porthole.  But, the shape also adds some interest to what might be otherwise generic photos as well.   I think these would a great way to break up rectangular images in an art collage.

desert color circular collage // $13

 Yosemite Falls retro colored nature circle print // $42

  simple light blue faded ocean waves circle shaped print // $30

My Look: Party Pants

Remember when I was on the hunt for some silky printed (pajama style) pants?  Well,  when I was in New York in June, I finally found a pair at Zara!  Of course, they were everything I'd hoped they'd be :) 

I recently just did my best to re-create Zanna's look, on a budget...

What do you think?  I think they were definitely worth the $60 at Zara, and I expect I'll be wearing them all fall.  If you're willing to give the trend a try, I've seen them popping up everywhere.  Here is a quick roundup of some similar pairs:

1 - Tolani Gaucho Pant ($152, Couture Candy)

2 - Diane von Furstenberg Georgia embroidered blue and white silk pants ($385, Net-a-Porter)

3- Vince blue geometric printed silk pajama pants ($171, CUSP)

Currently Obsessed with Mara Hoffman's Colorful Prints

If my life was a tropical beach vacation, I'm pretty sure my wardrobe could be entirely made out of Mara Hoffman's colorful bathing suits, sundresses and shorts.  (It's amazing that these amazing ethnic/tribal seeming prints come from a woman born and raised in NY!)  If you have an end of summer vacation on the calendar, it's definitely worth picking up just one piece to spice up your suitcase :) 

My current wishlist: 

1- HoffmanTechno Animal printed one-piece swimsuit ($255)

2 - Mara Hoffman Maya printed triangle bikini ($195)

3 - Mara Hoffman Inca printed bikini ($215)

 4 - Mara Hoffman Mexican Blanket High Waisted Shorts ($389)

5 - Mara Hoffman Fitted Bustier Mexican Print Dress ($297)

 6 - Maya printed stretch-modal kaftan ($340)

The Perfect Black & White Spotted Flats

My most recent shoe purchase happens to be this pairof calf-hair dalmatian print flats, and I had to share. I spotted them in a store window and went straight in to pick them up.   They feel like a slightly more versatile version of leopard, and  I love the slightly pointed toe shape.   Since I've already been wearing them like crazy, I predict they'll be a staple in my closet by the time fall starts.  Plus,  I saw that Old Navy is offering a strikingly similar pair for just $24, So I figured I should share a roundup of similar pairs for those of you who might want to pick up your own version.

1.  Steve Madden "Varanda" pointed-toe dalmatian print flats ($62.97 at Steve Madden)

2. Old Navy white leopard printed flats ($23.50 at Old Navy)

3. Alice+Olivia heart print calf hair ballet flats ($195 at Saks)

4. Diane Von Furstenberg "Madison" black and white calf hair flats ($250 at Neiman Marcus)
