Leopard!

Proceed with caution!
As sass-a-frass as this is, a little goes a long way
and it's very easy to go overboard.


Here are some of my faves:
God bless a sweet pair of shades.
Found these mamas on Kaboodle.com 





Leopard print Chucks? Love them!



The Chucks were too much? How about these subtly sassy flats?
perf.



Nicole Richie showing how a little goes a long way
with the leopard print scarf over a casual white tee and jeans look.




So marvelous!

In a space like this.
A little sass in a lot of class.

I found the chair above on Ebay!




How about these cute tights?
Again, a little goes a long way, but this girl is working it out.
(please also note the pearls!)
Buy yourself some tights here




SNUGGIE!
(a sassy girl like me would only ever buy the leopard one)




I love this.





I looked at a lot of cakes and baked goods, and I have to say this cake
from, Cake Central  had the most realistic painting technique
check out their stuff.



NowPublic  posted this to-die-for
little dog tie.
What a perfect number for a handsome and sassy gentleman.




OK, Wild things, until next time...

Keep it classy until next time.
