The Perfect Leopard Sweater and Predatory Prints!


Marc Jacobs, Leopard Sweater


Ever since I saw the Gwen Stefani video Cool, I have wanted the leopard sweater she wears in the video. It's perfect! I love the video, it's visually amazing. What can I say...I love pop music and Gwen and Italy - makes me want to plan a trip to Lake Como

Since I have never been able to find that sweater (*it probably Dolce & Gabanna, circa 2005) I am thinking about his Marc Jacob cashmere sweater above. However the truth is...I have made some animal print fashion mistakes, please see below - it seemed like a good idea at the time...




Animal Print Mistake, Exhibit A


......a predatory print mistake? It's looking a little like a Moo moo in this picture.


This is Beca Rory, 2007 never worn -- it actually looks terrible on me. Gray is not my color.

The model had this on with a pair of black stocking and black patent leather heels, very mod.


I guess it's just a little too much like a costume....for me.

Which got me thinking...I could be Mrs. Robinson for Halloween, get a wig and finally wear this darn thing. I wonder wear I can get a wig like this?
Below is Designer Markham Roberts, using Starks Leopard and Tiger Print Silk Velvets, Tastfully sprinkled into these amazing rooms!



Happy Friday!

  1. What a fun post! I think we all have some embarrasing animal print somewhere in our closets.

  3. Oh my gosh! Mrs. Robinson is THE BEST costume idea! I wish I had thought of it - we're going to a costume party, and the theme is either "destination" (i.e. difficult) or "famous couple" - would've been great! Don't know if I can pull that together in a week, though!
