Leopard Print Addiction…shhh don’t tell!

January 21, 2010

Okay, Okay, I have to confess, I have a new addiction (besides blogging that is)!
Wearing leopard print is a way to be a little bit daring, having it strategically placed in my home makes me feel like I have something from Ballard Designs… sorta like living a little bit on a wild side in my not so wild life (except for my boys that is). I have learned quickly though that a little goes a long way!

So what’s a girl to do with all this leopard print stuff? Where it of course!!! If we don’t make it simple, we can turn a fabulous and chic outfit into something tacky!!! There are a few rules a girl/woman should keep in mind when wearing an animal print, or any print at all:

1. Wear only a piece of animal print at the time, you want to look cool not like a real animal
2. Keep it simple
3. Pair it with neutral colours (black, white, camel, khaki or of course… jeans!);

What about in the home you say? Again… a little goes a long way! Keep it contained to only a couple pieces in a room. Make it a focal point, or make it an accent. The tid bit of black can go in most any room… in the context. I don’t think this is a trend going away any time soon, it’s been a round for years and I love it so!!!

Note: the picture below is actually a regular leopard print color pattern, but I was having fun on Picnik and had to post. I think it’s very Andy Worhal.

After reading about Kimba’s addiction to candles, I couldn’t help but share my latest with you (well maybe it’s been going on since this summer, but who’s counting?)! Don’t forget to check out my post from Chrstmas called “I Spot Christmas”. Want to see my friend MJ at One Nutty Girl? She shares my love for this fabulous fun fur! She has the most fabulous coat EVER and if I EVER get to wear a size small… it’s MINE!!! The only thing is I have so much more I didn’t even take pics of… UGH!!!

Hi~

Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy MJ & your blogs. Great ideas! I was wondering where you can get a pair of shoes like the first ones that you have listed. I love these! Keep posting highlights my day!

I love the N letter on the old tin tile. How did you make that? Did you paint the leopard print on? I would love to make one like that. Thank you!

Hello sweet Trish – I’m visiting from The Inspired Room! Thank you for sharing these fabulous photos! Love the animal initial you put on the tin! And those shoes are to die for.

Blessings,
Marie
