Spotted: Leopard Coat

One day this past spring, S and I found ourselves bored out of our minds at school so we decided to hop in the car and drive an hour to the closest (semi-decent) mall and go shopping. I was mindlessly browsing the racks when I came across the cutest leopard print coat, which S and I both decided I needed to have even though it was April. And since it was spring, the coat was on sale for 75% off. How could I possibly say no? You all know our obsession with animal print...

...now to find the perfect outfit...

Little did we know at the time that leopard coats would be one of THE items to have this winter. So, after sitting in my closet for months, it's finally cold enough to wear my wild purchase!

For all you snow leopards looking to get your paws on your own spotted coat this winter, here are my favorites for every budget:

Gap $68

French Connection $178




Free People $198

Lucious Leopard

Since leopard seems to return time and time again, I've decided to pull together some of my favorite leopard shoes. My favorite pair are the Guiseppe Zanotti shoes. They're perfect for tucking skinny jeans into, wearing tights with, or a hot little black dress.

Nail Fraud Alert

Wild Thing- Leopard Nail Fraud Kit (scissors not included)

I've been hearing all about the latest nail craze 'foil manicures' which is basically patterned paper applied to nails. So when I heard about the DIY kit that allows you to apply these fun stickers yourself, I ran right over to Urban Outfitters and picked up my own kit for only 12 bucks!

Here are my thoughts:
The kit told me all I needed to do was put on the sticker that best fit that finger's size and simply file off the rest.. While the stickers did stick to my nails, I expected it to be thinner and less paper like. Meaning when I tried to file off the ends, I ended up with a jagged edge, much like a torn piece of paper. Instead, I found that a pair of nail scissors worked best to remove the extra sticker. Once the nails were on they stayed put and of course I received lots of compliments however, they didn't last much longer than a crazy night out in the city.
So rock on you wild thangssss, and have fun dressin up your digits with Nail Fraud! But don't consider this a permanent replacement for your usual mani.

Add that rawr to your outfit

An easy way to add leopard to your wardrobe/outfit? A leopard scarf like the one pictured above! I love to see creative uses of scarves when adding them to your outfit like a scarf being turned into a headwrap or a belt. This leopard scarf is perfect for putting that extra oomph into your outfit and making you stand out a little bit. We like this one from Arden B:

The most lovely pair of Leopard pants...

...we have ever seen.

Slowly I've seen printed pants making appearances from LA to Paris, and what a great/different way to incorporate some animal print? I'm also digging those navy satin pumps. Mon Dieu, the french are just so fabulous!

Lusting after Phantom Leopard

Any one know where I can get a pair?

Ok, so I know I'm just a little bit late... ok very late, but I am obsessed with these HAUTE Ashish Leopard Wedges for Topshop. Unfortunately for me they were sold out at Top Shop months and months ago. However, leave it to one of my favorite designers of the moment, Alexander Wang, to come up with a funky alternative. Now if only I can get my hands on a pair of these babies...
