Rawr

I picked up a magazine at Target today as an impulse buy while waiting behind a slew of unruly kids. As I was flipping through the pages it hit me. Inevitably this time every year while I'm sweltering on the metro, ever fashion magazine, store front, and commercial is gearing up for the fall season. I saw page after page of chunky sweaters and buttery camel boots. I was instantly in panic mode thinking summer was almost gone (until of course I walked outside into the 95 degree heat). While I do hang onto summer for dear life until practically November, I was thrilled to see the trend of animal prints awaiting me around the bend. I can't wait to add a pop of leopard to my wardrobe this fall. I promptly ran back to the accessory aisle and scored this sweet leopard scarf.

Here's what else I'm thinking about.

A fab leopard clutch.

Or a chic satchel.

Or a classic pump.

And if I'm feeling daring, a leopard button down from j.crew.
