Call of the Wild

I find myself craving a leopard coat lately and the leopard prints seen on the Dries Van Noten F/W 2010 runway sealed the deal for me. I have worn leopard print before but that was always in the form of accessories. The idea of wearing a lush leopard coat against an all black ensemble of jeans and top is getting more and more compelling. The leopard coat will have to be faux fur of course.

Want.to.assimilate.

P.S. Just realized I goofed up..my oversized sweater in the previous post is leopard print, but it's really more like a grey and black pattern, no?

It was time for a new header since Spring is coming..what do you guys think?

I was a little under-dressed today, it was much colder than I expected. Nevertheless I felt an urge to wear this grey leopard print scarf which I've had since last summer. These Baker Shoes heels are my cheapo answer to the Ann Demeulemeester lace up sandal booties for this summer, till I can find it in me to spare the cash.

I might be a couple of days late, but I absolutely love these shoes that were used for the Prada F/W 09 runway:

The shoes are a little steampunk - the extensions from the shoes remind me of a pair of mechanical wings. I'm absolutely taken with the idea of winged feet and I imagine that this will be something a female Hermes will wear. These shoes are such a contradiction, the "wings" seem frivolous, but yet appear to be like feet armor that will empower its wearer. If I could buy one pair of shoes for Fall, one of the above pairs will definitely be my top choice!
