Animal print, feathers and lavender

Just recently when I was driving down to the coast this is what my front seat looked like.

Animal print obsession

 I'm a bit crazy for animal print at the moment and am LOVING this photo, especially Margherita Missoni's outfit in the middle with the animal print pants. This photo is courtesy of a great blog I discovered on the weekend called Gild and Grace.

A Love Affair with Animal Print

I was reading one of my favourite blogs Ada and Darcy about animal prints. Kellie from Ada and Darcy was saying how she can't quite take the plunge into buying any animal print as it would just be a passing phase for her.

Now I on the other hand absolutely love an animal print. So when I saw these fabulous shoes above, how could I resist?

In fact I can never understand when fashion magazines say "Get Ready the Animal print is coming back in", because for me it is always in! My wardrobe has its fair share of it.

Now the above shoes have always been a touch too big for me. When walking, the back of my foot would slip out. I eventually put full inner soles and heel party soles in but nothing seemed to work.

Desperate to wear them one night I had always noticed they had an elastic band attached to the back inside of the heel. I still don't know its real purpose but for me it was to thread ribbon through and make the shoes pumps with ankle ties.

Off I went to spotlight and bought some ribbon which is below. They did have a fluoroish pink and green in the same ribbon which I think I may have to go back for. I am currently reliving the flouro movement at the moment.
