Louis Vuitton "Small is Beautiful"

I don't post videos on this blog but I had to share this one. As if Louis Vuitton's handbags weren't already so desirable, seeing Elin Kling, Miroslava Duma and Hanneli Mustaparta traipsing around Paris with LV's new mini cross-body bags makes them even more covetable. Oh la la indeed.

I finally got to take some of my new JewelMint pieces that I won from Gal Meets Glam's giveaway out for a spin. This metal clutch is especially fun and different, as are these Zara trousers. The leopard print with a camouflage feel really won me over.

Hi, there! I'm Kate, the force behind style blog, The Fancy Pants Report. I love mixing prints and adding pops of color to my daily wardrobe. The weather here in San Francisco has been gloomy so I wanted to style an outfit that was pop-y (pun intended).

For more outfit posts and corny jokes, visit me at thefancypantsreport.com. Thanks for having me, Marisa, I hope you're able to enjoy some R&R.

Guest Post: Alison of alison*elle

Hi everyone! I'm Alison from alison*elle and I'm so excited to be filling in for Marisa while she's away. For those of you who aren't familiar with me or my blog, alison*elle is a space where I share my thoughts on various makeup and beauty products, daily outfits, and snippets from my life in Vancouver (as well as Calgary, where I'm living temporarily).

Today's look is very typical of my usual cool weather outfits...neutral tones and basic shapes topped with a chunky knit.

Thanks again to Marisa for having me! I hope you'll stop by alison*elle to say "hi" :)
