Obsession: Leopard


I'm not much of a cat person, but Leopard is definitely my thing! I'm a sucker for leopard *anything* whether it's for my house or my wardrobe. In fact, I really don't think a room is finished until it has a touch of leopard in it. It has to be done well, though...nothing worse than tacky leopard! And, it's important to remember that a little goes a very long way.  It's one of those situations where it's completely right or it's completely wrong! Here- a few examples where it's completely right! 


Love this leopard setee in an otherwise very muted room.



Leopard benches in a small eclectic bedroom.



Absolutely love this living room with the emerald sofa and robin's egg blue
 window treatments by Palmer Weiss.



A vibrant room by Miles Redd with elegant leopard chairs.



One of my all-time favorite bedrooms. An elegant space belonging to 
Hamish Bowles, contributing editor at Vogue Magazine.



Beautiful leopard benches in photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank's living room



This leopard dress peeking out from a classic trench with the pop of color from the coral scarf! Love!










I love it when paired with unexpected brights!





But, it's also fabulous on it's own or with neutrals 




And, there are always cases where more really is more!

Perfect Pairing: Blue & Orange

Blue and orange are probably my two favorite colors to put together. The natural complements can range from aqua to peacock to navy and coral to clementine to persimmon. Leave these two alone and you've got a moody and bohemian room, add white and you've got a fresh, springy, perhaps even beach house look.













Add a little orange and blue to your life.
