From clutches to hobos and back the animal inspiration is exploding all over retail stores this Fall season. Seen on Celebs, seen in shopping malls, seen on runways, and seen in the streets, this lifestyle trend is one that has captures the eye of just about… well EVERYONE!

The Limited offers a fab Leopard Clutch, D & G offers leopard pumps that are a key item in the shoe closet, leopard headbands are emerging more and more, and don’t forget that leopard hat/scarf/glove set that you’ll need soon when snow begins to fall.

No matter where you’re living... New York, Chicago, Milan, Dallas, LA, etc. you can never have too much animal print items. Zebra is beginning to fade but paired with a patent red trim... it’s like brand new again! Mix and match this season… it will give you a unique look with a killer head turning technique.

If you can’t find anything you like and you see a random bystander wearing the boots you have been looking for since you learned how to spell the word “leopard”... ask her where she got them! Be social - be ready - be inspired by others. Street style is where it happens first. Keep those eyes peeled for hot items you just can’t seem to find.

Strap on that favorite animal print bag (with matching shoes of course) and throw your scarf over your shoulders and you’re off! Go get’em girls!
