Wild About Leopard!

Seeing spots never gets old with me, and apparently not with fashion designers either. The Fall 2014 runways were heavy on this classically chic pattern. It's ladylike and fun at the same time. This primal print pairs well with black, khaki and red. So, to share my animal attraction to leopard, I went on the prowl. Let's see what I found.

Burberry Scarf

Leave it to Burberry to take their classic check and change it up with a distinctive animal print. Cozy in cashmere, this piece will never go out of style.
