Girl Crush of the Week: Staci Acquasanta of Leather and Leops

There was something about Staci Acquasanta that I just liked. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Was it her classic style with an edge? Was it her fabulous collection of sunglasses. Was it her ability to make my jaw drop at the sight of her wedding photos? While all of these things are very true, I discovered the real reason when I went to add Staci as a friend on FB. It turned out that she, like Allison and me, was a Miami girl! And was even in Allison's sorority. Talk about a wonderful surprise!

Staci is the force behind the amazing fashion blog, Leather and Leops. As a fan of both materials, our love of her blog seemed like a natural fit. Please join us in getting to know the lovely Staci Acquasanta!
