Classic animal prints give an interior a bit of fierce attitude. I can't help but notice animal prints are everywhere this season. You may find they are hard to ignore and you will soon be smitten. Not bitten, smitten.

Put the roar back into a room with this Vintage Papier Mache Leopard from Mecox Gardens.

After you've grown weary from trying and buying Manolo's, duck next door to 33 West 54th and eat at one of New York's hidden gems for the best Southern Italian food, Il Gattopardo. Named after the classic Sicilian novel by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, it will not disappoint.

The Royal Oak Collection Durbar Leopard gros point from Lee Jofa for a classic animal pattern moment.

Hide and seek with Jayson Home and Garden's Faux Leopard Hide Rug.

A classic that cannot be overlooked: Belgian Shoes. they never lose their spots.

Owen Barry Leopard Pillow from Barneys is made of faux pony hair. I love the tiny spots.

My favorite British bag designer Anya Hindmarch just launched the classic Carker bag in leopard. Carry this while wearing neutrals or you will look like the animal is wearing you, instead of the other way around.

Courbet, a cotton velvet from Scalamandre has a soft touch and looks great on an ottoman or a sofa.

You can't own just one pair: J. Crew's Kelcey spotted ballet flats are perfect for running around town.

Christopher Norman's printed leopard is a more subtle option with a hint of blue.

Fun post! I also posted earlier this fall about the preponderance of leopard this season - it was all over the fall fashion collections. Especially love the gros point from Lee Jofa (wrote a piece about Royal Oak yesterday) - you and I are clearly on the same wavelength!! And have never been to Il Gattopardo - will have to check it out!
Like black I think a little animal print works in every room. Love that leopard from Mecox!
I love Belgian shoes, esp in leopard! xx, Kate
