Horsing Around


Girls love horses - I know it's a cliché but  for me it's true - when it comes to fashion at least (as for the real thing, I prefer to admire them from afar).  Horse print tops and blouses are one of my favorite  trends  right now (and just imagine how cute these tops will look with riding boots in the fall).  So when I  saw my favorite Pretty Little Liar Spencer (Troian Bellisario)  sporting a  gorgeous navy horse print  tank in the newest episode, I had to find it:  


Spencer's  layered Tank is  by  BCBGeneration and can be found on Bluefly where I also stumbled across this adorable ruffled  silk blouse  by  Leifsdottir,  and if blue isn't your color you can find this  beige tunic on  Asos.

  

...And if you prefer a more casual style just go with a  horse print thermal (try Free People and Primp)

Private Eyes

Take Nancy Drew, let her  grow up a little, add a twin sister with a pink Harley, and move it  all to  Hollywood. What you get are the  McAfee Twins,  Kerry and Terry, two sleuths more reminiscent of Philip Marlowe than our beloved Nancy.

Mystery, action, humor and zany characters, what's not to love?  (and if all that isn't enough to get  your attention there's even a Christmas mystery...yes CHRISTMAS MYSTERY!)  




But what attracts me the most about these books are the redheaded heroines, brainy and rational Kerry and the more impulsive wild child Terry. ‘Cause honestly, who didn't dream of solving crimes with their best friend at some point of their life?  And even if that detective dream didn't come true, there is no reason why you  shouldn't dress the part:

1) Every detective needs a cool leather jacket, if it's a pink one like Terry's trademark biker jacket  or something  a little more classic, you can't go wrong  with vintage leather.

2) Boots - if  you wanna chase suspects on your Harley strappy sandals aren't the best idea, and sturdy boots add an instant coolness factor to any outfit.

3) Jeans and a T-shirt - yes it does sound a little simple, but that's the point.  You're a  PI , you wanna blend in - a silver satin dress  would be rather inconvenient.

So whether you're an armchair detective who likes to get lost in a good story,  or  aspiring to do the real thing take these  fashion clues  and you´ll solve  any crime by dinner time.
