Animal Lover

On an episode of Jerseylicious, Olivia was asked why she loved animal prints so much.  Her response was that animal prints are the best prints for people to wear or have because they were made by God.  Stripes, polka-dots were all man made but the patterns on cheetahs, zebras and leopards are a gift from God!  This was the best answer I had ever heard and i giggle a little whenever I think about it!  Although I've typically been a Tracey fan, Olivia cracks me up!

I never cared much for animal prints before.  It's not that I didn't like them, I just never had an interest to wear them or get tons of items in my favorite animal's fur pattern.  Since my favorite animal is a polar bear, I would have just had everything white trying to pass it off as looking like the best animal in the world!  However, for some reason that I can't explain, in the past couple months I have become obsessed with cheetah and leopard print!  I even painted my nails in a cheetah print tonight! Right now I'm really looking into getting some cheetah or leopard print shoes.  These are some of my favorites so far (based on looks not prices!).

The Jeffrey Campbell Lita may be my favorite shoe of all time.  Although I may not be able to own a pair of these for a long time, I can dare to dream!  Someday they will be a part of my happy collection!

Brash is Payless Shoes' latest brand which Sierra Kusterbeck is currently the face of!  She's one of my favorite singers and a huge fashion influence so I'm really happy to see her moving into fashion but still keeping up with VersaEmerge!  I think this shoe is really cute.  Although I don't always go for the peep-toes, I might be persuaded to go for it this time!

Express has a huge collection of cheetah and leopard print items that I love.  In their store right now, they do a great job of pairing the print with lots of reds.  Red is my favorite color so it draws me in immediately!  I love heels so I'll be searching for these next time I'm in the store!

Like every other girl, I love Forever 21.  I'm currently using their mascara and I love it!  I'm pretty sure it was less than $3.  They always have great clothes, accessories and shoes at great prices!  Plus, having the print I want on a boot with a heel, how could I pass this up?  I think this is the shoe I'll be buying (first at least!).
