Hey Gals! So, we thought it'd be fun to do a little segment called "BuzzWord"... A nifty word defined and then tied to fashion, design, jewelry- anything that strikes our interests, really! You can educate yourself on a little lingo while seeing some neat related items- good stuff, right? So, here we go, let's kick this off! 

I'm a big animal-lover (not necessarily in a PETA throw-blood-on-your-fur-type-of-way, but in the less dramatic sense of the word...) That being said, it's really no secret that I'm a fan of felines... In other words, I'm a self-proclaimed "ailurophile" and have been for quite some time (see evidence of this in my awkward childhood photo below). My friends often tease me, referring to me as a "cat lady," and I unassumingly thought this was all fun and games... That is, until I recently watched a particularly disturbing episode of the TV show "Hoarders" where this sweet woman hoarded not clothes, trinkets, or National Geographics... But yep, you guessed it, cats! They were everywhere, jumping, meowing, and purring within every inch of living space. It was at this point that I decided the whole "cat lady" thing is really no laughing matter. 

But back on track, when it comes to felines and fashion, there are some pretty chic cat-themed lovelies out there! I'm particularly fond of these jewels, encompassing a regal Lion head shoe buckle- making for a pretty pick both bold and fierce! I'm definitely a big fan of this light sweater and cat print skirt, wonderfully whimsy to say the least. As far as accessories go, these retro-inspired cat-eye glasses are a fun old school pick! Last but not least, check out these loafers, since you really can't go wrong with a hint of leopard print. So, whether you're one of us or not (an ailurophile, that is) go get a cat-inspired piece! No claws and hairballs included, just effortless on-trend style.  

(An ailurophile from an early age. Needless to say, this bedazzled sweatshirt would not make the list of fashionable feline items)

With our Fall 2013 designs floating around the studio this week, I can't help but have geometric shapes and designs on my mind.  (Yes, that's a hint about upcoming designs!)  September may be months away, but these inspirations are sure to hold me over in the meantime.

Toss on a pair of dark jeans and a flowing white T-shirt; these bright and bold jewels look great against a casual backdrop! Don't forget to add some fresh spring accessories, we are really loving all of these from C.Wonder! (Bag, Wedges, Shades).

I love the draping of this sweater, and it's still light and airy enough for a spring look! Pairing it with some bright white skinnies, a go-to pair of nude sandals, and an aztec-inspired clutch make the perfect back drop for this statement-making set of exotic jewels. Also, I don't mind a little extra glimmer with some simple earrings.

We know you Elva Gals like to make a bold statement- not much bolder of a statement can you make than with some gorgeous jewels (like these!) and a neon blazer! Pair with some matching metallic heels, casual boyfriend jeans, a white tee, and a trendy clutch. Also, if you're already going this bold with your ensemble, keep hair and make-up simple- this nude lip from Dior would be perfect. Now, shine on, you city slicker. 

XoXo,

Jordan
