Animalistic Threads


It has taken me a while to actually admit I like how animal prints and references are used in every aspect of the fashion realm. I think it has something to do with the fact that designers and brands have stepped in up and broken away from the typical skimpy leopard print ensembles that are shall we say, a little stripper-esque? I have done my research and found some fabulous pieces that will take you into the wild!

I am LOVING this brighter take on the leopard print in this dress by Diane Von Furstenberg. Perfect for a night out with a simple, but stunning pair of heels!


For a more casual affair I love this romper also by Diane Von Furstenberg with a pair of gladiator sandal; also, throw on a fedora for a chic day look!

And this long beachy dress by the designer is picture perfect for those hott summer nights!

This snakeskin inspired diagonal/off-the-shoulder dress by Laila Azhar is also perfect for a dressier occasion or for when you want to vamp-up the sexy factor a bit!

This other take on the faux snake skin look by Rachel Roy is a dress up or dress down top. Pair it with a pair of black or tan shorts or slip on some Daisy Dukes for a simple, laid back look.

Now since I am a vegan I have to mention the animal friendly fashion. Recently I went to a vegan fashion show/event in Chicago and discovered a designer brand called, Vaute Couture. They are an eco-friendly, animal friendly brand and I am now obsessed! I looove these tanks, so cute and affordably priced!

I also loved this necklace by them as well:

They make great jackets for the colder weather and the most adorable flirty dresses that are a new addition for the company.

This trend doesn’t stop at clothing though, accessories are a great way to add just the right amount to an outfit if you don’t want to wear the look as a statement. I love this CC Skye bracelet. It's a life saver for that extra oomph for any occasion!

I still want to get my hands on a double ring and this particular snake ring is glam! Fred Boutique has MANY accessories and always has a few great animal jewelry pieces at the BEST prices!!


Animal prints and patterns are so sexy on shoes, and a fantastic way to attract attention to your hott tootsies if your outfit is a little dull. Snake skins, leopard print, get one of each! My personal fav is this pair by Giuseppe Zanotti platform booties; with a pair of black shorts and the right top…PERFECTION!





What do you wear on those gloomy rainy days if you want to still be fashion forward? Rain boots! And a pair of Hunter faux snake skin ones at that, awesome!

Throw all of your everyday necessities into this Foley + Corinna white leopard print versatile bag and your set.
Now you have hundreds of different options to take this ferocious style and go out and make it your own!
