Grrr..Unleash your inner animal

The runways of Paris & New York have been invaded by the deadliest creatures alive. And no, I'm not talking about those skinny size 0 models. Prints have been trending for the last season, and seem set to continue for Spring/Summer.


I get teased constantly by my family for my love of leopard and zebra prints. Animal prints have long been associated with cheesy Western flicks, and women who drink too much (subsequently followed by selling their assets on the nearest street corner). But WHO CARES?? Ditch the haters, because prints have been given a makeover with many designers incorporating subtle tones within their entire collections.


Revamp your wardrobe with a leopard print cardigan, or zebra pumps. Unleash your inner feline. Embrace your wild side. The only no-no is NEVER pair two different prints within the same outfit. Its like mixing vodka with brandy - you love each, but they can never ever mingle! I like pairing a leopard print blouse with a high-waisted black skirt, complete with pumps.


Prints do not have to be restricted to boring tones of black and brown. This season, look out for leopard prints that have been infused with shades of blue or turqoise, or cheetah prints on laidback pastels. Changing it up gives this trend a fresh look, while still making a statement. Prints are about making a statement, without saying a word. Sexy. Feminine. Power. It's yours.
