style icons

For the love of leopard

Let’s face it, leopard will never go out of style…and I’m perfectly OK with that! This amazing print was around in the 20’s but really became popular in the 50’s when style icons like Bettie Page and Ava Gardner started rockin it. Check out some of these vintage photos! So glamorous and sophisticated…I’m in LOVE.
