Little Leopard.

So, unless you have been napping under a rock on Mars for the last however long you may be aware the leopard print is back. (did it ever leave?) As a fellow feline I admit I have a soft spot for the print but only if done well.

So, I shall take you to school so your attempts at leopard print will be purrfect:

• More is less. Please try and avoid looking like Nanny Fine. Do not opt for a leopard print skirt suit with matching headband. I choose to flash a little bit like in a ballet flat, silk scarf or even peeking out on a bra. Repeat: more is less.

There are certain kinds of leopard print, avoid the cartoon looking one or the small/fine one. They end up looking cheap. Get the one that looks as though ripped right off the back of fully grown leopard. That brings me to my next point.

Only wear faux fur, you animal! Do not make me get all P.E.T.A on you. i only kill animals for food and shoes and bags and belts and the occasional Fendi cuff. There are perfectly good faux options nowadays. This also brings me to my next point...

You shouldn't be wearing furry leopard print any way. Its kinda gross except for on shoes. Avoid leopard print jackets and fuzzy leopard things in general. Its too over done and you will look like a Paris Hilton look alike. Nasty... Go for silk scarves, tops, etc not furry jackets.

Never wear leopard print in unnatural colours. The main culprit colourways are pink or blue. This is soooooo year 4. I bet if you wear coloured leopard print you also still own a multicoloured sequin cap and matching sequined coin purse bag too don't you? You know who you are.

My top five leopard prints pieces are:

1. Bra (Preferably D&G)


2. Teresa Ruiz leopard print wrist band. (You tie them round your wrist and they are so subtle but cool.)


3. Natasha silk top (came in blue and ginger, i obviously bought the ginger.)Its fairly over sized and looks great baggy or tied in a knot. Meow.


4. My random no name brand leopard print umbrella.


5. The Christian Laboutin leopard print ankle boots. I will never manage to own these but i would step over my own grandmother just to look at them. Even so, donations are welcome.

Leopard print is the Cat's meow...for now.
