All Mixed Up: Animal Floral Fusion

What I sincerely love about fashion is your vast array of options. The only limit is the 2 C's - your personal CREATIVITY and CONFIDENCE. some women fall in love with looks but claim not to have the confidence to "pull it off". I personally beg to differ; if you can DREAM IT you can DO IT, or in this case wear it.

I love to mix and match colours, prints, and textiles. One of my latest obsessions is an Animal/Floral fusion.

The mixture of A floral print with an animal print or element. Mixing Pansies and python or Lillie's and leopard the colors and combo's are truly endless. Make sure all the animal elements are FAUX! Wearing your own skin is important. Opt for Fake Skin or Mock Crock. All the faux fur textiles are so realistic there are no excuses not to be compassionate and CHIC!

Have you used these two elements to mix it up before?

Here are a few inspirations I love:

It even exists in nature. Did you know there is a Leopard Flower?

Known as: Iris domestica which is a flowering perennial of Chinese origin and is locally used in Chinese villages for its medicinal values. The dried rhizome has long been used in East Asia to treat throat troubles, asthma, swollen liver and spleen, gonorrhea, malaria, and arrow poisoning.

Now there is no excuse not to at least try Animal Floral Fusion .. it's only natural!

EYE LOVE COLOUR

I am obsessed with COLOUR (YES with a U - I'm Canadian). Anyway, My most recent colour purchase came in the form of eye shadow. I like the pigments from Tattoo artist Kat Von D's makeup line for Sephora (I have both her Ludwig & Beethoven palettes) and recently purchased her NEW pallet for Spring 2012 "Mi Vida Loca".

The palette is inspired by her back tattoo with the same name (Spanish for "My Crazy Life") and her love of colours. I remember reading somewhere that the best part of her day and one of the only times she has alone, is when she is applying her makeup.

I love her Rock-N-Roll / Theatre take on her makeup and wanted to share her new collection with any bold beauties out there in cyber space looking to chuck your neutral tones and try some colour.

I think this is the coolest rainbow effect and I will be compelled to try:

Get polished for the season

SHOP SEPHORA FOR THE COLLECTION

Kat too commercial for you? Take this Coloured "Peacock Inspired Eye" from the Fall/Winter 2012 Runway of Roberto Cavalli (and make-up artist Pat McGrath)

Are you ready to ROCK life's runway in COLOUR?
