Fashion Inspiration: The Hunger Games

Yes, it’s true.  I'm a HUGE fan of The Hunger Games trilogy. I devoured all three books {in four days} and have succeeded in getting many of my friends to read them as well. Wow. I was barely able to put these books down for a second and was utterly disappointed when I finished reading the very last page {devastating, I know}.

Despite my complete {and possibly insane obsession} with these books, I simply cannot contain my excitement waiting for the movie to come out in March!  There is betrayal, death, hunger, revenge, a juicy love triangle & adventure all included - how can you not fall in love with this story?!

I loved the detail and subtle inclusion of fashion that author, Suzanne Collins brought to the table. I can’t help but geek out and wonder what Katniss would wear! Here are some inspirational pieces that I would wear...

1. Buy the book here – Kindle Edition 2. Leather Jacket – Wilsons Leather 3. Dorado Riding Boots – Frye 4. Neon Orange Satchel – Cambridge Satchel Company 5. Signature Braid {with a romantic twist} – Pinterest 6. P-Retro Cat Sunglasses – Ray Ban 7. Bows & Suede Pouch {for fun!} – Merlin Archery 8. Fiery Nail Polish – OPI 9. Mockingjay Hair Pin – Fred Flare

If I’ve ruined the plot for you, too bad. Maybe you should get off your tush and get involved! I promise you it’s a fun, addicting & a fast read. Let the games begin! Ole!

Keeping It Classy With The Cambridge Satchel

The Cambridge Satchel. Doesn’t it have a nice ring to it? I came across this stunning leather number a few months ago when one of our Ceja Vineyards wine club members strolled into the tasting room sporting a beautiful red Cambridge Satchel. Like most bold colored statement pieces, it caught my eye and I was immediately smitten.

Not only is it classy and sophisticated, but it also attracts both women AND men. It comes in a variety of styles, tons of different colors and can be personalized with your embossed signature.

I love how edgy it looks and how it adds that splash of color to dull corporate outfits. On weekends pair it with jeans, a white V-neck tee, cowboy boots and go!

A little note to all satchel lovers - they are made in the UK so yes, it costs a little more dinero but it so worth the extra splurge. This is one of my top picks for the season and will remain a timeless classic piece. Ole!

Fun Facts: It didn't take long for these handmade satchels—once hailed as the UK's best-kept secret—to become the "It" bag for fashion insiders. The mother-daughter owned Cambridge Satchel Company originally made their traditional British school satchels in just two colors but recently started creating these super cool highlighter-hued versions.

P.s. For those looking for a stunning new laptop carrier, the Batchel is very, very alluring. Ole!

Here's to wishing you all a very fabulous weekend! besos
