Welcome to the Jungle!!!!!!!!!!

Lions, tigers, bears, and zebra...prints...oh my!!!! Call of the wild! Call of the Urban Jungle is what you will see next in for Spring and Summer fashion! Animal prints were all over; from Marc to Diane. Leopard spots and Zebra prints! All fun and flirty looks to update your warm weather wardrobe. And certainly looks to carry into fall!!! From mini skirts to cover ups! Lots of looks to choose from and mix and match. Too much animal print is definitely a disaster waiting to happen!! Check out some of my favorites from DVF and Jcrew. MMJ also put his spin on this fashion staple too! And don't just feel limited to animal prints, but ethnic prints fit into this Jungle theme as well! Take yourself on a little wardrobe safari, if you dare!!!!!


Live Long and Dress Well!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eye Catching Ikat!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ethnic prints were quite the inspiration for the Spring '08 fashion collections! You will be sure to see ethnic patterns and prints in most designer collections and its sure to trickle down to mainstream retailers too!!! To see exactly what Im talking about, see the Plenty Spring '08 collection by fab designer Tracy Reese http://www.plentybytracyreese.com/

One print that I am loving for the remainder of the winter season right into spring is Ikat!!!! This bold, ethnic print is most definitely making a comeback and sure to be a hit right into summer!!! Ikat is described as a style of weaving that uses a resist dyeing process similar to tie-dye to create a pattern or design. Ikat has roots in South America and Asia and was seen in both the Tibi and Oscar de la Renta spring collections! Its vibrant and colorful, but subtle and simple all at the same time. From dresses to picture frames, Ikat is making its mark and catching lots of attention!!! Check out some high and low end styles that I found and be Inspired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Live Long and Dress Well!!!!!!!!!!!!
