Designer Crush: Josh Goot

Australian fashion designer Josh Goot is hitting all of the right notes with his structured and colorful designs. Vogue praised him for his "minimalist aesthetic, clean, crisp lines, bold colour blocking, and overall accessibility." After one of his shows, UK Vogue even quipped “every girl needs a little Josh Goot in her wardrobe.” Now I feel like I need a little JG in my life and I'll start with one of the incredible dresses below please! Although, priced a bit out of my price range, I love to admire his designs from afar. Moda Operandi has some unreal patterned crop tops for pre-order that would look amazingg with a high-waisted skirt. P.S. How wonderful is that red/gold/black/leopardy dress below?! Swoon.

Bags and Shoes

I can never have enough bags and shoes. Every fall I feel like I neeeeeed a new bag. It's bad. How amazing is the pony hair Proenza Schouler clutch and the Jenni Kayne animal print mules?!I'm also dying for a trendy backpack and the turquoise Elizabeth and James one below may do the trick.... Don't even get me started on the Rag and Bone booties I just got my mom for her birthday. They are perfect.

Animal Prints in the Home

I love using a bit of animal print in the home and animal print rugs and runners especially. Whether used in a library, office or even as a runner going up the stairs, animal prints look chic and can really make a room. My mom is looking into getting an antelope rug for the library in their house that has lacquer chocolate brown walls and a bar and fireplace. I think it will really pull the room together!
