leopard print
Wearing leopard print can be a slippery slope. You can go all out and just wear it like Patsy from the Absolutely Fabulous TV show. Alternatively, you could just go boring old red lipstic, leopard print piece combined with black accessory.
SCANDINAVIAN LEOPARD PRINT #OOTD
On the other hand, you can just go neutral or invent your own 'leopard print look' like I tried with this 'Scandinavian leopard' kind of outfit where I highlighted Zara's midi leopard print dress with white accessory.When I think of Scandinavian style (be it apartment furnishing or fashion) I think of clean lines, lots of white and very simple cuts. Obviously, leopard print is all but clean and simple, but, when it's photographed with white accessory and over clean background it does give a Scandinavian vibe.
WHITE ACCESSORY
When it comes to accessory, I usually shop independent designers but since I live in Barcelona I often opt out for 'made in Spain' pieces like those from Uterque brand. The white leather pumps with point toe and V cleavage are from Uterque (a bit hard to break in but super comfortable on strap end). White earrings are from Violeta by Mango. If I wear a purse with this look it's usually YSL mini or a (less practical) white leather clutch with no strap.
Do you ever wear leopard and if you do, how do you style it? :)
p.s. Looking for more inspiration.

Leopard print is not easy to wear or style if you want to make it look effortless, chic and not to tacky. I can't judge myself if I succeeded but I can say that this is the look which I do feel comfortable wearing. Despite the title, this post is not about my baby daughter Anabela 😃 , my true - wild child.
I got this light and airy leopard print dress from & Other Stories and the idea was to style it for casual lunch date to make it comfortable enough to move around and run after Anabela yet that it provides enough sun protection in sunny Barcelona.
This gorgeous shoot location was Monastery of Pedralbes in Barcelona, very peaceful and historic with gorgeous museum and friendly staff. The entrance to this Monastery is absolutely free on Sundays so it can be a useful information for tourists visiting Barcelona on weekends.
I accessorized the leopard print dress with Missguided belt, & Other Stories black wide rimb straw hat.
The saddle shoulder bag I used for this look is my grandma's vintage bag which is about 40 years old but it's still quite wearable and stylish while it carries a sentimental value for me.
To add a pop of rock & roll to the look I put on a simple organic cotton H&M t-shirt underneath the leopard print dress and topped it with a chocker necklace. A pop of color was added with red Chanel lipstick, Marc Jacobs 'to dramatic for the day look' eyeliner and red nail polish.
My favorite walking embroidered booties from Free People which I continue to wear year around were an obvious choice for this look.

Christine Keller, English former model and showgirl is known by Profummo Affair in 1963. when her involvement with a British government minister discredited the Conservative government. She was an inspiration and a muse for Christopher Bailey's Burberry Prorsum Fall 2013. collection.
Bailey connected companies noble heritage with Keller's kinky and playful side and as a result he got this playful classics. Although many fashion critics do not necessary approve this collection, I really like the way he refreshed classic Burberry look for new generations, I think it will see just great.

Since gold accessories, dresses and sweaters seem to be making a come back I think that leopard print will fit right in the fall looks. How do you like my selection above? :)
In some of the previous
posts I have wrote about animal print or shape inspired fashion pieces and
accessories like the fabulous catty
sunglasses and optical frames on top of this post I wrote one about animal
world inspired couture editorials and styling.
For this post I was inspired by my favorite of
animal prints: leopard print. Leopard print has remained trendy for numerous
seasons now transferring from runway to streets and back and it doesn't seem to be going
anywhere anytime soon. My favorite
leopard print pieces which I own are silk scarf, cashmere sweater, ballet flats
and silk shirt. I am also looking to get an envelope clutch, not all to be worn
at once naturally. :)
For me these pieces are a great stand out
piece when I am putting together casual business styling and I love to wear
leopard print with neutrals like black, white and beige with red lipstick as
another pop of color.
How do you wear your animal
print darlings?

and men and dogs should relax and get
