animal instinct.

leopards, tigers, and zebras have inhabited my home for some time now...in the form of clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry, swimsuits, and bedding even. just a hint of these primal prints evokes those good-but-oh-so-bad feelings. while i normally aim to toughen up a look, i find these bold prints easier to wear in lighter fabrics with feminine touches like ruffles or pretty buttons. so whether it's a pair of shoes, a bag, or an article of clothing, small doses of these animals never go out of style.
