Taking a walk on the WILD side

I fell in love with a faux-fur leopard print coat last week and was so close to putting myself into debt and buying it when my friend kindly told me I looked like Bet Lynch from Coronation Street. Since I don't smoke or drink pints I figured I probably wouldn't pull it off so and left the shop empty handed.

Animal prints are definitely a look I'm loving this Winter though and think they add a bit of classic boldness to an otherwise simple outfit - when worn in small amounts! Whilst they've always appeared over the years in the forms of handbags, shoes and other accessories, we're seeing them more than ever incorporated into outfits, particularly leopard print and here are some of my favourite looks for this season...
