Stand Out in Snakeskin
In electric hues, the exotic print gets a modern makeover. 2013 may have been the year of the snake according to the Chinese zodiac, but this year it's spotted on everything from sweatshirts to linen sheath dresses to canvass totes. The serpentine print has never been more chic or accessible. Snakeskin is so sophisticated. It's totally glamorous when worn with an evening look, but it works equally well for daytime. No matter the fabric, a snakeskin print adds a textured, luxe touch to everything. And this season, with snakeskin appearing in wildly vivid shades- chartreuse, bubblegum pink, kelly green- the graphic style offers a blast of color as well. Worn with your simplest LBD, bright python pumps give your look a luxurious edge; paired with dark denim, a silky snakeskin-print top is the epitome of downtown cool. The year 2013 may have come to end, but snakeskin still reigns supreme.

Toughen Up Your Image With Leather Details
Whether on panels, pockets, trims, lapels or cuffs, leather detailing is a key trend. Just remember these simple rules:
- Be tactical with this trend — opt for strategically placed patches, such as vertical panels alongside the waist to slim the silhouette.
- A snippet of leather on the corners on a handbag or piece of luggage gives a silent nod to the trend.
- Add a leather collar to blouses or jackets to instantly update an old outfit.
Why does it work? We love the touch of luxury a sliver of soft nubuck gives to an ensemble, the contrast of textures, and its understated sex appeal. Test out of the look below- contrast feminine water colors with edgy leather details for the ultimate style contradiction.
