ver since a trip to Disneyworld's Animal Kingdom and some notable giraffe sightings on the safari attraction, I've felt a connection with these animals. After all, we're both super-tall, awkward and look as though we might topple to the ground with one misplaced step. I've seen some OK giraffe items in the past, and of course there's one of my very favorite Charley Harper pieces, but nothing has compared to the fall line-up at Fossil. It's like a giraffe wonderland! That giraffe-print dress pretty much tops my list, but the clutch wallet, flats and bracelet are tied for a close second. I don't quite know how I'm going to keep myself from buying the entire line.Fossil's last season giraffe necklace is one piece I luckily picked up on sale and have been wearing like crazy ever since (little did I know it was a preface for the giraffe extravaganza to come!). I had my eye on J.Crew's version a while back, but upon studying a close-up photo of their version, the poor animal had a rather mentally-ill look about him, so I passed. Then this little rhinestone-dotted version appeared and I was able to get my giraffe love on (accessory-speaking, of course). Here's hoping I can add to my collection once my favorite pieces come in at Fossil...
Speaking of my love of giraffes, I was blown away when I saw this post from A Cup of Jo - a giraffe-centric holiday??! These photos absolutely blew my mind! Kenya's Giraffe Manor is now officially topping my dream travel wish list. So much world still to see...

I like giraffe prints a lot too - something a bit different from the norm. My daughter is crazy for animal prints and will mix & match too - and you know, she pulls it off as only a young girl could do :)
ReplyDeletePretty! I haven't looked yet, but I like all the jewelry from Fossil. It's very casual.
ReplyDeleteDude, that Cup of Jo woman has the most amazing life! I think she's the same age as we are! She must work hard, but talk about blogtastic. I should read her more regularly.
Yeah, Fossil jewelry reminds me a lot of J.Crew jewelry in that it's heavyweight good quality, just a bit less glam (of course, I love adding that bit of glam when I'm such a highly casual dresser these days!). And seriously about Cup of Jo. Sometimes I feel majorly unaccomplished when I look at all she's done, but then I realize I've just done different things. Definitely one of my favorite bloggers though!
