SAVVY CHIC

I put this look together with some of my top Savvy picks from Nordstrom. As soon as I saw the cheetah print top, I knew I wanted to build a look around it. I'm crushing on so many goodies from the Savvy department, so it was hard to focus on creating just one look. All the pieces there are on-trend and under $100, from brands like MinkPink, ASTR, Mural, Wayf and more.

1. Mural Cheetah Top
2. Quay Kitti Sunglasses
3. Carbon Copy Safety Pin Earrings
4. Leith Woven Track Pants
5. Topshop Medium Faux Leather Bowling Bag
6. Leith Pavé Arrow Bangle
7. Leith Arrow Bangle
8. Nordstrom Nail Color in French Wine
9. Steve Madden Realove Pumps

ph: Zimbio

Loving Nicole Richie in a vintage tee and lots of leather. One thing I admire about Nicole is how well she can pull off so many different styles- from laid-back LA, to super feminine and then to something so rock chic and downtown cool. Her Saint Laurent leather pants are to die for!
