Animal prints are really taking over fashion in a big way, not only this season, but year round. How can you not love a print that’s bold yet neutral at the same time? Leopard print in particular is becoming one of the hottest prints to see and be seen in. Play around with leopard print by throwing in a bright pop color with your accessories or mix it up by adding a different print like floral (as seen on the last outfit below).

To showcase our talented and creative stylist team, we’ve decided to do a weekly Stylist Spotlight. This week’s stylist is Amanda B. Check out her classic take on style in these two super-wearable outfits she created just for Stylist Spotlight!

We asked Amanda a couple of questions to get to know more about her and her personal style:

What do you do at Zappos?

 I am a Junior Stylist, which means that I can be found doing a little bit of everything.  No day is ever the same; I could be doing anything from pulling the product off the shelves, steaming clothes, or styling.  It always makes for a fun and interesting work day!
 
What are a couple of fun facts about yourself? 

I have lived in 3 countries, I love to sew, and I always dress my pug up for Halloween.
 
Describe your personal style:

I like to keep my closet stocked with classic pieces and then add in some trendy accessories or quirky vintage jewelry. 

 
What was your last Zappos purchase, or what is your dream purchase?:

I splurged on myself and bought a pair of Frye Paige Tall Riding boot for the fall! 
 

What are your top 4 favorite brands at Zappos.com?
 Frye, Lucky Brand, Splendid and Levi’s.

One style staple, two stylist-picked ensembles. That’s the premise of Stylists’ Challenge! Hope and Marie, two of our Visual Merchandising stylists, put together two distinctly different outfits around the Hanky Panky Signature Lace Unlined Cami.

When it comes to picking an outfit for a date, most women tend to try on multiple ones before settling on the perfect look. I think staying true to your personal style is a great starting off point when building your date night ensemble.

Also, keep in mind where you’re going on your date. If you’re headed to a dinner at that fancy new spot downtown, you might want to opt for a dress and some sexy heels. If you’re doing a movie and a casual dinner, a pair of jeans and flirty blouse is just right.

Most importantly, make sure your date outfit makes you feel sexy yet comfortable. It’s all about feeling good in what you’re wearing! Everything else will fall into place.

Hobo International recognizes the challenges that women face. They have created a unique collection of handbags, personal accessories and travel bags that offer solutions to the challenges of everyday voyages. Inspired by modern women everywhere, the founder of Hobo International envisioned a line of accessories that offered women practical and stylish handbags at sensible pricing. This vision became a reality in 1991 when the first Hobo International collection went to market as a well-edited line of marvelously functional handbags crafted in natural leather.

Hobo International’s founding principles of quality construction, innovative design, and exquisite materials remain paramount in the design and development of Hobo International accessories. Hobo International’s in-house design team works to balance texture and silhouette with fashion and function to deliver accessories that fill the style needs of the contemporary woman.

Hit your favorite hotspot with a Hobo International clutch or wallet. The fun and sexy Belinda wallet is made of rich crinkle patent leather. Carry all the necessities in this 8.5” x 5” wallet with dual compartments and kiss lock closures. If you need to carry a little more, the Valentina is a soft leather, two compartment clutch that is absolutely stunning. At 12” x 5.5”, the Valentina should be your go-to clutch for any occasion. Hobo International also offers a classic clutch with a cool, vintage bic and intricate detailing called the Belissa. This gorgeous clutch style shoulder bag is made of leather and offers subtle pleating details and a stellar top kiss lock closure.

Hobo International is a true fashion vanguard offering stunning lifestyle accessories season after season. Hobo International offers handbags and wallets, travel and professional accessories, and belts and eyewear. Nearly twenty years since the first collection, Hobo International continues to harmoniously balance fashion, function and fun, distinguishing itself as the premier brand for women who live by their own rules.

The clutch... you are too often underestimated! You hold all our important personal belongings, make or break our outfits and keep our hands from fidgeting on a nerve-wracking date. You are essential to any date night out, which is why I've taken the time to list a few  clutches for completing an outfit or making sure it has adequate space for all of our first date needs (whatever that may be).

No clutch is as classic as Hobo International's Lauren clutch; available in an endless assortment of colors and prints to fit any date night outfit. It may not have room for your blackberry or lip gloss but it will organize your credit cards, ID and cash in its functional interior slot compartments when you need to easily grab cab fare for a ride back home.

For a roomier bag with just as many color options, try Botkier's Trigger Moto Clutch. Think of it as a smaller and (less expensive) variation of the iconic Balenciaga Motorcycle Bag; it features all the trendy details including fringe, studs and exposed zippers. The clutch is made of genuine leather, of course, and even has an optional body strap in case your hands happen to get tied up in something else!

Zippers and Colbalt Blue, two of this season's hottest trends are featured in one dynamic bag. If that weren't enough, Alexander McQueen's glove clutch includes just that, a matching glove made of soft luxe leather. What it's for? We're not quite sure, but it may come in "handy" during some point in your date.

When your date comes to an awkward silence, let you bag be the topic of conversation. With a clutch like Harveys Seatbelt Bag, made of genuine seatbelt material, you can defend your environmental contribution by wearing sustainable materials that just happen to be fashionable and stylish as well as eco-friendly.
