Pinterest addiction & my love of leopard…

19 Jan

I joined Pinterest.com a while ago and am totally loving it – it’s a giant treasure trove of all things you could possibly love and want to create little mood boards of – you find out there are loads of other crazies out there that love the same random shit you do, it’s awesome!

So, I’ve been creating random boards for stuff I like – people, photography, places, mottos – inspiring icons – anything really? Ranging from Beautiful People, to Places I Love and Mottos for Life…you name it! Anyway, as I mentioned the leopard in the title, pinterest has also been a great place to feed my love for the giant cat. Here is a little selection of the gorgeous leopard things you can find on my Leopard Love board:

leopard print scarf

leopard print sofa leopard print chair

leopard print jacket

leopard print shoes leopard heels

And this is only just a little taster of the HUGE range of all things leopard on my board of Leopard Love – you won’t believe it, but I’ve found everything from leopard stairs, leopard eyeshadow & leopard nails to leopard cupcakes. Yes, it’s true, it all actually exists – somewhere…out there. I’m LOVING it :)

Wild Thing – accessorise a leopard dress…

6 Dec

So my last post was all about how to wear the leopard print. Here let’s have a look at how to accessorise around the leopard for those brave ones who have gone all out for a full-on leopard print dress…

I think the cue is to make the leopard look “harmless” and also “individual” at the same time – to show character in an ocean of people doing leopard the wrong way and to downplay the “fierceness” of the leopard simultaneously…

accessorise a leopard print dress

- use lots of black – black is always the new black and don’t EVER let anyone tell you otherwise

- go big on the beauty – false lashes, smokey eyes, bright red nails etc. you don’t want to disappear and fade behind the leopard, it’s still about YOU

- accessorize cleverly with ‘cute’ and playful details (cue: the bow suede gloves and the acorn pendant)

- accessorize cleverly with elegant and ladylike details (cue: diva plain black clutch, Linda Farrow sunglasses, delicate gold leaf ring)
