Whilst some of you had jumped on the bandwagon of trending animal prints this Fall, others may be a little apprehensive as it can be a little too much to put on a full outfit of leopard prints.
Don't get me wrong - I love leopard prints and animal prints like snake prints however, I was cautious this time around to invest in a full blown leopard print piece seeing that it's one of those " come and go" trends that turn around in a heartbeat. So, I decided to put this outfit together, getting into the whole trend of leopard prints but wearing it subtly in terms of pieces rather than a full outfit.
Found the perfect match in these beautiful faux fur pumps and belt and these leopard print drop earrings I had stashed away at the back of my earring drawer.
Moral of the story :: You certainly do not need to follow trends blindly but twist it to match your needs and the appropriateness of the climate you are in.
Tell me what you think of this trend and how you would style this look? Have fun playing with the leopard print trend!

Been busy all weekend playing around with a new header and background for my blog. And I finally bought myself my very first DSLR camera, a Nikon D3200 - though am still learning how to use it and take my own outfit shots ( which ain't easy for now!). As I am still learning the ropes on being a blogger and updating the look and feel of my posts so do be patient with me if you see weird stuff going on, as you are reading the posts.
In this post I would like to share bargain steals which I got and how I mix and match them to my summer outfits. Recently I had grabbed a great bargain for a pair of leopard print shoes at a 24hr Department Store - "Mustafa" here in Singapore. Can't imagine why being a Singaporean, I never really took the time and trouble to go and venture into this mall tucked away in Little India. But my dear friend Carla has been telling me about how one needs to keep one's eyes open to find good deals at this store. She even brings guests from overseas there to shop for Linen PJs etc...
So I finally ventured off to Mustafa one recent morning and found so many interesting things there especially my beautiful pair of low heel leopard print shoes for.... { drumroll} ( get ready !!) S$ 16.90 ( US$ 13). Yes!! I couldn't believe it either.
OUTFIT 1 : SHEER VICTORIAN AND LEOPARD SPOTS
An easy and versatile ensemble to wear about town in this humid tropical climate.

OUTFIT NO. 2 : BOYFRIEND JEANS & LEOPARD SPOTS
Weather was a lil cooler today so decided to put on my baggy, torn and washed out boyfriend jeans with the classic white shirt for the day. Added a tribal accented necklace for that summer edge since tribal prints are very IN at the moment.

Another great buy which I must share with you. It has to be said, the Hermes Birken inspired bag was a STEAL from the Salvation Army for ...[ drumroll again...] US$ 2.50! Yes ! US$ 2.50!! Got it in Florida whilst we were there 7 years ago at a flea mart. I love this bag for it's colour and its durability! I do use it so often as it can carry quite a fair bit in it and yet no signs of it retiring any time soon. Good ole SALVO!!
So you see. For those of you who are afraid to wear animal prints in case it does makes you look like the animal itself, you can easily fashion trend this style by going slow and easy just with accessories. Honestly, you don't need to blow a large sum of money to fashion trend, so go play around and enjoy Leopard print trending!
Would love for you to share with me on how you leopard print trend with your summer outfits. Better if it comes with a small price tag. Hope to hear from you soon!
Love, Simone
