Seneca Parka Jacket In Olive

 We love a good versatile jacket for fall and one that can transition with you from fall to winter is even better! The anorak and parka jacket styles are two of our favorites for this season and we're offering up a variety of colors and weights in both styles that we just love. Of course these jackets work beautifully thrown over your favorite tee and skinnies, but if you're like us, you've probably wondered how else can you style these lovelies up. We've rounded up a few of our favorite inspirational pics below on how to take these jackets beyond your normal wear. Check out our own Seneca Parka Jackets and Right As Rain Anorak Jackets over at www.daintyhooligan.com as well!

 Throw one of these jackets over a lace dress or romper for a cool and chic look.

Play with layers and lengths when you're dressing up and dressing down your jacket. 

Dainty Hooligan Blog Post: Hello, Kitty White?

 It seems everything you assumed about Hello, Kitty was wrong. The Los Angeles Times reports, that Christine R. Yano, an anthropologist from the University of Hawaii, was corrected by Sanrio when she unknowingly made the mistake of calling world famous cartoon character Hello, Kitty a cat.

She apparently is really a little girl, not a cat. Yano says, "I was corrected — very firmly. That's one correction Sanrio made... Hello Kitty is not a cat. She's a cartoon character. She is a little girl. She is a friend. But she is not a cat. She's never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature. She does have a pet cat of her own, however, and it's called Charmmy Kitty."

Hello, Kitty is actually named Kitty White and she has a full back story. She is a Scorpio, she loves apple pie, and she is the daughter of George and Mary White.
"She has a twin sister," adds Yano. "She's a perpetual third-grader. She lives outside of London."

Bazaar? Perhaps, but it doesn't make Hello, Kitty any less cute! (The Los Angeles Times)

Dainty Hooligan Styling Fun: 5 Ways to Style That Maxi Skirt!

If you haven't already noticed, we love a good maxi skirt over here at Dainty Hooligan headquarters! With summer coming, we know all to well that the maxi skirt will be a go-to staple of yours for those warmer days. Without further ado, here are 5 different ways to style that maxi skirt!

1. Keep it easy-breezy with a loose fitting tank or knotted basic tee.

2. Play with proportions. With all the volume in your skirt, keep your top micro with a cute bralette or bandeau. This look would work really great with a bikini top when you're poolside as well.

3. Dress it up with a blazer and your favorite power bag. A solid color as opposed to a print would probably work best for this look and make your maxi skirt work appropriate.

4. Pair it with your favorite cropped top. We know you have at least one cropped top since this trend is kind of a huge one at the moment. Pull that maxi up a few inches to your true waist, throw on your favorite cropped top and you'll keep looking on trend all summer long.

5. Throw on a chambray or denim button-up. Tucked in or worn open and unbuttoned, this look can go from beach side to dinner date in a few simple adjustments.

Things to keep in mind:
- Try tucking it in! Whether it's a tee or a button-up the tucked in look offers up a chic edge.
- Accessorize with a belt, long and layered strands of necklaces, and your favorite pair of
  sunnies.
- Sandals and wedges are ideal for this look, just keep your toes exposed to keep things on the casual
  side.
