Luscious Leopard Print ...

I absolutely adore leopard print and have done since I was about 16 and discovered Vivienne Westwood and the punk era. Although in this era the print was worn in an anti-fashion way (and would have been accompanied by half a ton of safety pins, studded leather jackets, ripped fishnet tights, a hell of a lot of body piercings and some serious attitude..)thankfully leopard print has stayed with us through the years and is now regarded as one of the most fashionable prints of all time.

That is...if it is worn in the correct way and in the right proportion to your outfit... otherwise it could go disasterously wrong as demonstrated here by these poor dears...

So ladies as a rule, at all times avoid wearing this print from top to toe and never, ever mix and match different leopard prints together, ok??!

It can look great in a dress or blouse but in my opinion the print looks best when worn in the form of accessories, wheter its a pair of shoes,a bag, a belt or of course a fascinator or hat like my two little beauties shown at the top of the page and below.

So...to summarize -  worn correctly leopard print has the power to transform any little black dress or suit into something sexy, elegant and timeless and any casual outfit into cool, sassy and chic. So come on girls be the ultimate sex kitten and get some leopard print into your wardrobe for purrrfect looks time and time again.

  Au revoir for now my lovelies ;)
