OBSESSION DU JOUR: Animal Prints

Animals prints are not just a trend anymore, they are becoming a fashion classic. Many fashion designers use animals prints in their couture creations such as Lanvin, Dolce and Gabanna, Blumarine and many more. The two popular animal prints we see in designer collections and stores are the Leopard and Zebra print, but we sometimes forget about snake, tiger, giraffe. Animal prints should be worn in small doses, don't overload on it, unless you are strutting down a runway. Keep it simple and understated.

Tyler a.k.a TYE from The Rachel Zoe Project, wore this amazingggg ombre leopard print blazer on the show a few weeks ago. In the words of RZ - This is BANANAS!!! I think this blazer is by Givenchy from 1997. Great find by Tyler.

This is me! I am wearing a leopard print blouse by Tory Burch and next to me is Lindsay a.ka. Linzo. It was her birthday at Gallery Bar when I wore this top. You can't really see my entire outfit, but I was wearing a distressed brown belt, skinny jeans, and a vintage gold chain necklace.
