It seems my animalistic instincts were spot on. Leopard print litters the August issue's pre-fall shopping guides of Harper's Bazaar. And I'm more than happy to indulge. As Sarah promised on Twitter (@ClassyFabSarah), the first leopard-print piece won't be the last.
My advice: bring a discerning eye to inexpensive leopard items. Many verge on looking a little too, well, cheap when compared to pricier alternatives.

I love this look, but you're right about the cheaper items... it's not the same!
ReplyDeleteOoo, I want those shoes!
ReplyDeleteWhoa.. that maxi dress is to die for..so gorgeous
ReplyDeleteOf course I liked the most expensive dress! Oh Marchesa!
ReplyDeleteleopard/cheetah print is IT for fall!! it's gonna be everywhere!! i tried on the tucker, but it was hid(eous)...and it takes a lot for me to say that about gaby. the print was whack.
ReplyDeletewe need to see a pic of you in your new purchase!! xoxo-carrie
Loving all of the leopard prints! I just saw a pretty fierce pair of leopard pumps by Brian Atwood, in the August issue of Allure. Dying for them, but they're $650-ish! Not as bad as Louboutin's...but still!

Love!
ReplyDeleteSo far I have a belt and a pair of shoes (the ones that tragically ate it, as documented in my last post). I haven't ventured into shirts yet. I thought for years that I'd never own a piece of leopard print clothes, but I caved. They're just so fun!

Leopard print is SO classy! I think as long as you pair it with a solid color (I usually do black or white cause I'm boring) it always looks nice!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the pic!
am not a big fan of animal print but these look really fab
ReplyDeleteI love leopard print! I can't seem to get enough... I'd kill for those pumps.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you new top!!
Chic on the Cheap
What a coincidence! I just wrote a post this week on zebra prints: http://highmaintenancewoman.blogspot.com/2010/07/animal-prints-not-just-for-vegas.html
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are tricky to hit just right!
I wonder what the purse material looks like IRL...it could look like a stuffed animal or could be quite tasteful. Can you imagine it with black top and skinnies or a cute black dress...why $60 though!

I love those Casadei shoes! They're fabulous! I think everyone needs a little bit of leopard print. :)
ReplyDeleteThat gown is gorgeous! Love this print
