animal lover

Top: Thrift. Bag: Thrift (DIY studded). Skinnies: Trash & Vauderville. Shoes: MARNI. Shades: Ray Ban
I LOVE animal print. Whether it’s the leopard splashes you’ve seen throughout my blog like here, or these leopard print wood platforms I posted here wearing on the beach (yes, the beach).
I got these zebra print skinnies from Trash and Vauderville (suprise suprise). LOVE the clash with the sporty top.
I’m in no way related to anything in Ohio. I just loved the graphic print (and the price – $2 at a church thrift shop).

    i love this outfit. I’m not sure why… I think it’s the marnis (i have a pair and would wear them everyday if i didn’t have hills to walk up!). And I like the idea of plain t shirts with crazy leggings.

    You are so amazing. I cannot get enough of all of your looks! You look perfect everything! Love those zebra print leggings. I saw the zebras at the zoo recently, and their stripes were gorgeous. I think you have made it official – I need zebra print leggings to make my life complete!

    Ahhhh, a fellow animal print lover. Those skinnies? To die for. Perfection, I tell you.

    I do have to be careful walking into stores because if there’s anything animal print, I’m more than tempted to try and buy.

    And yay the Marnis….love them!

    Natasha’s View – actually I do see what you mean.

    Julia – I got the bag years ago from a thrift shop (less studs).

    Jackie – lost i think hence the suitcase!!

    Layla – nothing meant by it! Just that I know no one from there or am from there at all. Like a polar opposite to where I’m from? sorry if it offended! wasn’t meant that way : )

    Thanks everyone. I ove the clash of this look.

    B-entrance – I know what you mean about the voice. A bit different to “mind the gap” in London
