I was looking up fall accessories trend and noticed how hot animal prints are going to be this winter.  I also noticed that more and more women are wearing their necklaces like a mustache.

Just kidding.  I’m not typically a big animal print wearer, however I do love brightly colored accessories.  Like, turquoise is more than just a color to me, I’m slightly obsessed and need an intervention.  So when I was shopping World Market last weekend, I was drawn to their new line, Kingdom Animalia Collection, which has pretty blue hues.  You like it?  I love it!  The mustard yellow cord was a huge bonus for me as well, since that’s my other color crush right now.   And the necklace slips over your heads, no fasteners required, bonus.

Let’s talk earrings.  I may or may not have at least over 3 dozen pair of earrings in my stash, after recently donating a good amount!  But really, how could I pass these up?

I love the faux feather earrings that are super trendy right now, but I don’t think I could pull them off.  They’re so flowy and I’d probably forget I had them off and rip them.  I tend to mess with my earrings a lot, twirling them around when I’m bored.  Weird habit, right?  So anyway, I love these because they’re lightweight but not going to blow away lightweight (;  I also love these goodies from WM, I didn’t get pics but I also brought home these beauties.

Aren’t the skull earrings cool??  Not something I would naturally gravitate toward but they were so unique, I had to bring them home to my collection!  And that watch, already have gotten so many compliments on it.  Have you noticed how bronze is the new silver??  I love the watch because it matches my cute gold flip flops!

Oh boy.  Don’t get me started on how stinkin cute the globes are!  I’m pretty sure all three will eventually find their way into my house.  I went back a couple days after my first trip and 2 were already gone.  Drat!-they’re so cute.  I think I may incorporate them into my upcoming playroom makeover?  Love them!

Overall, great shopping trip at World Market, as usual.  I love that store because the sales people don’t hound you, there is a huge variety of goods to get lost in and they have such unique finds.  Almost like a really clean thrift store with a little higher prices, love it.  Be sure to check out their twitter, you tube and facebook pages to keep up with their latest!  For instance, they’re having a huge sweepstakes right now…how does an African Safari trip for 2sound?!

Safari Inspired Girls Night In with World Market - Written by: Simply Frugal Mom

When I think about having Girls Night In, I think about good drinks, yummy food and kicking back to relax and laugh. And of course, every Girls Night In needs a little flare. There is nothing like a little decor to set the mood and turn an average night into an event.

One of my favorite places to shop for decor is World Market. They have a great selection of items to jazz up a party, decorate your house, or accessorize yourself. They also have an amazing food and beverage section with treats from all over the world.

I headed to World Market to check out their new Kingdom Animalia Collection. This collection is inspired by an African safari and has some really amazing items.

I love the neutral colors of this collection with the pops of animal print and rich colors.

I want this entire display of globes for my living room.

How fantastic is this steamer trunk/bar? So many fun options for ways you could use this.

I had such a great time shopping at World Market. One of my favorite things about World Market is their selection of “basic” pieces. They have so many great glasses, serving dishes, and neutral accessories that you can easily mix and match with their featured collections.

I spent forever in the store just trying to narrow down my choices. I wanted it all! After over an hour, I finally had the perfect items to create a gorgeous table for my Girls Night In.

I just love how this turned out. It’s exotic, refreshing and fun all at the same time.

I love this bobble head giraffe. And he was as steal at $12.99. And I like how he looks like he is ready to dive into the cucumbers. And check out that cute bowl. Each one was a little different and I chose one with a lighter pattern to contrast the table runner.

I used two napkins to create the table runner. And at $6.50 for two, they were about 1/3 of the cost of a full table runner. Score.

Of course I had to check out the clearance sections around the store and I found the palms leaves for Buy One, Get One Free.

The orange lantern and the white dip bowl are two of those “basic” items I was talking about before. They were just $2.99 a piece and I’ll use them over and over again.

Glasses were just $1.99. And the impressions in the glass add great character.

And I couldn’t resist these great elephant coasters. They add the perfect pops of color and texture to my table.

My best friend’s mom calls gin & tonic a “lovely ladies summer drink” and I couldn’t agree more. It is the perfect refreshing drink for a warm summer night. I picked up a couple bottles of interesting tonic water and some sparkling meyer lemon soda for the non-gin drinkers.

Because gin & tonic is such a light drink, I wanted to keep my snacks light as well. I picked up some Ras El Hanout spice mix at World Market and made this amazing carrot dip (recipe coming tomorrow) with it. Seriously, this dip is to die for and it doesn’t hurt that the color goes perfect with my theme. I served it with sliced cucumbers and crackers.

World Market had everything I needed to create a “wild” Girls Night In. From decorations to drinks to food, I found it all. If you are headed to World Market this week, be sure to check out your Sunday paper for the World Market ad which contains a $10 off $30 purchase coupon.
