Leaping Leopard



The only plusside of the return of chilly winter temperatures? The opportunity to pull out my leopard coat again! I'm still a complete nincompoop when it comes to pairing this beauty with anything other than black. I have no idea why, as I'm usually someone who layers print upon print and color upon color sans doubt. Any tips? I just went a bit sixties with the over the knee boots and my cute peter pan collared babydoll dress. Simple, yes, but every piece seems to work in this particular mix.

A lot of you asked about my nails yesterday, so I'll explain what I did! I got my idea over at the Cherry Blossom Girl (check it out for pictures of the tutorial) but I wanted to try some spring-ier colors and went with blue on green. Just apply base coat, than the green, let it dry, stick on the stickers, paint top color over it, let it dry, remove stickers (and any glue residu!) and do a top coat et voila. Very easy and it looks rather cool.

I've got a fracking bad headache right now (that time of the month) so I'm logging off! Have a lovely evening, ladies and gentlemen!

  3. I loveee this coat. I just ordered one from Forever 21 on sale.. I couldn't turn down the leopard trend. For some reason I see your coat with aquas or oranges. Jeez, it would look amazing with anything!

  8. Cool dress, and even cooler coat! I have a leopard print jacket already, but I could always use another one...this is actually what I always dreamed of wearing on my 21st birthday (btw, 21 is kinda a big deal here since it's the legal drinking age...although I don't drink very much anymore, so I guess it doesn't matter for me!) but I'll be in HOT AND DRY Arizona for my bday, so I guess I'll have to ditch the coat.

  9. In case I haven't told you before, your coat is glorious. Leopard print and red is one of my favorite combinations... I'm not really sure why, but I just think it works so well! Though quite honestly, I think you could wear it with almost anything.

  11. Hey, leopard+black is always a classic, but I'd love to see it over a deep red or purple.

    That dress is so damn cute! I'm pretty jealous of it, I must say.

    And hey, nothing wrong with simple. And I'm pretty sure a leopard print coat negates any simplicity found elsewhere in the outfit, haha.

    Sorry your head's achin' :(

  12. Love leopard coats :) ik heb echt al vaak op het punt gestaan om er eentje te kopen, maar dan altijd net niet gedaan omdat ik dacht 'met wat ga ik dat aandoen? ga ik het wel aandoen?' Enfin mss moet ik er maar gewoon eens eentje kopen :)

  16. Gorgeous, gorgeous. Truly, I am head-over-heels for this look, your coat, those boots, and the peter pan collar -divine! Your style is absolutely fab-u-lous.

    As for pairing the coat with other things? I personally love doing an animal print and floral. xx veronika
