My Latest Fashion Finds
As I promised, I’m here to spill the details on some fashion treasures I’ve picked up lately. This season, I’ve gone all in on leopard print—it’s taken over my wardrobe in a big way, moving from something I’d admire on runways to pieces I wear every day. My haul includes a stylish leopard print handbag, spiky bracelets, Prada sunglasses, a cozy H&M leopard jacket, and a gorgeous Michael Kors watch. I’ve also added a sparkling lip color from L’Oreal to top it all off. These finds are a mix of fun, function, and a little bit of glamour, and I’m excited to walk you through them. Plus, there’s a personal twist to this story—I’m pregnant with my little one, Yog, and that’s shaping how I’m approaching style right now. Let’s dive in.
Falling for Leopard Print
Leopard print has been my obsession lately. It’s everywhere this season, and I couldn’t resist jumping on board. There’s something about its wild, bold pattern that feels both classic and fresh—it’s versatile enough to dress up or down, and it adds a punch to whatever I’m wearing. My collection started small, but it’s grown fast, and I’m loving every piece. The star of the show is my H&M leopard jacket. Finding it turned into a bit of an adventure. I was in Sweden, where the winters get seriously cold—think -20°C—and I noticed leopard print popping up all over the place. It was on coats, scarves, even boots, and it seemed like everyone had their own take on it. I decided I needed one too, but not just any version—I wanted something thick and cozy to keep me warm, with a fit that felt right. So, I set out on a mission, hitting store after store, searching for the perfect leopard jacket.
It wasn’t easy. Some were too thin, others too pricey, and a few just didn’t have the vibe I was going for. I’d try one on, check the mirror, and move on, determined not to settle. After what felt like forever—and a lot of walking around Swedish malls—I finally found it at H&M. The jacket was everything I’d hoped for: a rich, spotted pattern, a hefty feel that promised warmth, and a price that didn’t break the bank. When I slipped it on, it felt like a win. Paired with a thick sweater, it’s become my winter go-to, keeping me snug even on the chilliest days. It’s practical, stylish, and a reminder that good things come to those who hunt for them. Then there’s the leopard print handbag. It’s smaller, more of an everyday piece, but it’s got the same bold energy. I’ve been carrying it with jeans and a sweater or tossing it over my shoulder with a dress—it works either way. The pattern makes it stand out without needing much else, which is perfect for days when I want a little extra flair without overthinking my outfit.
Spicing It Up with Accessories
The leopard print didn’t stop with the jacket and bag—I’ve added some accessories to the mix too. First up are the spiky bracelets. They’re edgy, with little studs that catch the light, and they give my looks a tougher vibe. I’ll stack a couple on one wrist, maybe with the Michael Kors watch on the other, and it’s a combo that feels balanced—sharp but not over the top. They’re fun to play with, especially when I’m in a mood to mix things up. The Prada sunglasses are another gem. I’d had my eye on them for a while, loving their sleek shape and the way they frame my face. When I finally got them, they didn’t disappoint. They’ve got a modern, polished look that pairs great with the leopard jacket—wild meets refined. I’ve worn them on sunny days, driving around or just walking outside, and they make me feel put-together, even if I’m in something casual like leggings and a tee.
The Michael Kors watch is the classy touch in this haul. It’s got a gold-tone band and a clean face, nothing too fussy, but it’s elegant in a quiet way. I’ve always liked watches that double as jewelry, and this one fits the bill. It’s been on my wrist almost every day since I got it, whether I’m heading out or just keeping track of time at home. It’s sturdy too—I’ve bumped it a few times, and it’s still ticking along, looking as good as new. And then there’s the L’Oreal lip color. It’s a sparkly shade, somewhere between a gloss and a lipstick, with just enough shimmer to catch the eye. I swipe it on when I want a little glam—maybe with the sunglasses and watch for a quick errand, or with the full leopard look for something more. It’s a small thing, but it ties everything together, adding that extra bit of polish.
Pregnancy and Style: Behind the Scenes
Here’s something you might not catch in the photos: I’m pregnant with Yog right now. It’s an exciting time, but it’s also shifting how I think about fashion. When we planned this shoot to show off my new finds, I wasn’t sure at first. My body’s changing—my bump’s growing, and some days I feel more tired than usual. I wondered if I should wait until after the baby to do it. But then I thought, why not? This is a big part of my life right now, and I want to embrace it, not hide it. So, I went for it, and I’m glad I did. The leopard jacket turned out to be a perfect fit for this moment. It’s bulky and loose, which works great with my bump. I don’t have to squeeze into anything tight or fuss with buttons that won’t close—it just drapes over me comfortably. Underneath, I’ve been pairing it with stretchy pajama pants or flowy skirts that give me room to move. They’re not what you’d call high fashion on their own, but with the jacket and accessories, they feel stylish in a relaxed way. It’s been a lesson in adapting—finding pieces that work with my body as it is, not fighting against it.
I’ve always loved fashion, but pregnancy’s made me rethink what that means. It’s less about sticking to a certain look and more about feeling good in what I’m wearing. The loose fit of the jacket, the softness of the pants, even the way the sunglasses boost my mood—it’s all about comfort and confidence right now. I’m starting to see this as a chance to play with style in a new way, and it’s been fun figuring it out.
Planning a Pregnancy Lookbook
That’s got me thinking about doing a pregnancy lookbook. I’d love to share more of this journey with you—how I’m dressing around my bump, what works as it grows, and how I’m keeping my style through it all. The leopard jacket will definitely star in it, along with some other pieces I’ve been leaning on. I’ve got a few stretchy dresses that hug in the right places, some oversized sweaters that pair with leggings, and those pajama pants that are sneaking into more outfits than I’d admit.
I want the lookbook to be real—not just posed shots, but stuff I actually wear day-to-day. Maybe a cozy setup with the jacket and a scarf for cold mornings, or a lighter combo with the sunglasses and a skirt for milder days. I’ll mix in the accessories too—the watch, the bracelets, the lip color—to show how they add a little something extra. It’ll be a record of this time, both for me and for anyone else who’s navigating pregnancy style. I’m aiming to pull it together soon, so keep an eye out for that—it’s coming your way.
Why These Finds Matter
Fashion’s always been more than just clothes to me. It’s tied to what’s happening in my life, the moments I’m living through. These recent finds aren’t just random buys—they’re tied to where I am right now. The leopard jacket’s my shield against the Swedish winter, but it’s also a symbol of persistence after that long search. The sunglasses and watch are treats I gave myself, little rewards for getting through busy days. The lip color’s a nod to keeping some sparkle, even when I’m tired. And all of it’s happening while I’m growing a baby, which makes it feel extra special.
Take the jacket hunt in Sweden. It wasn’t just about staying warm—it was a challenge I set for myself. Finding it felt like a small victory, especially with how cold it’s been. I wore it the other day, trudging through snow with Yog kicking inside, and it hit me how much it’s become part of this chapter. Same with the accessories—they’re not big investments, but they’re pick-me-ups that make me smile. Fashion’s a way to mark time, and these pieces are doing that for me now.
How It All Comes Together
So, how do I wear this stuff? The leopard jacket’s the centerpiece—I’ll throw it over a black sweater and pants for a simple, warm look. The handbag comes along for errands, slung over my shoulder with the jacket for a coordinated vibe. The sunglasses go on if the sun’s out (or just because I feel like it), and the watch stays on pretty much always—it’s become a habit. The bracelets I swap in and out, depending on my mood, and the lip color’s my finishing touch when I want a bit more.
Pregnancy’s shaped how I mix it all too. The loose jacket hides my bump when I want it to, but I’ll sometimes belt it higher to show it off. The pajama pants or skirts keep me comfy underneath, and I’ve been sticking to flats or low boots since heels aren’t my friend right now. It’s a practical setup, but the leopard print and accessories keep it from feeling boring. I’m learning to lean into what’s easy without losing that spark I love about fashion.
What’s Next
This haul’s just the start—I’ve got more fashion adventures on the horizon. The pregnancy lookbook’s my next big project, and I’m already brainstorming outfits for it. I might hunt down a few more cozy pieces as winter drags on, or maybe some lighter stuff for when spring rolls around and Yog’s here. I’ll keep you posted on what I find, how I wear it, and how it fits into this whole motherhood thing. I’d love to hear from you too. Are you into leopard print this season?
