Dear Leopard,
One of my favorite purchases from my recent trip to NY were these Schutz Shoes. I love the edgy yet feminine lace-up details and the neutral camel color goes well with practically everything. If you’re looking to purchase this, they run a bit small. I went one size up but the good thing is the lace can be adjusted for a better fit. This also comes in black and a new style, the Arieli comes with studs.

Dear Leopard,
There are some out there who has a deep repugnance for you. Some even judge you and say you are distasteful and tacky. To me, you are classic like the little black dress but better because you can spice up any outfit. You have charisma and spunk. I love pairing you with so many things such as 1) denim for a casual daytime look, 2) a simple white blouse for a conservative yet sexy vibe, 3) a hint of color to liven things up and 4) mixing prints for a bold and daring look! You are stylish, eye-catchng, yet versatile and timeless. Best of all, you have always been there for me when I have doubts and need a pick-me-up. That’s why I’ll always pick you over that b*itch L.B.D.
Love Always, K
Thanks so much for this BLOG…. For the longest fashion has been my love and passion, my mother has told me it wont make you money and it’s a dead end. But seeing you have this blog has made my passion ignite once again… I’ve noticed myself living my life through her eyes… But its time to do what makes me happy! Thanks for giving me something to have passion about again, because I know that this is what I want to do.
Stay Blessed

Your letter to leopard is the best! I wasn’t a fan of the print a few years ago but it’s definitely grown on me and now I find that I want everything leopard: heels, boots, coats, bags, the list goes on. I love your Schutz shoes too, they remind me of the pair that Aimee Song designed for them.

Hehe love your letter.
Oh yess, leopard is completely timeless. There is nothing like a rock solid animal print to make you feel like a wild thing. Leopard is definietly my favorite!
I must say that looks like a KTR skirt. ; )
Stay Stylish,

Perfection! Your photos are stunning and your hair is getting so long. I really love your ombre too! If I was in your area I’d totally go to your hair dresser!
The cutest post ever! I love how you wrote to Leopard! :)
the leopard skirt is perfect! <3
Such a cute way of addressing to dear leopard :) you have the best everyday glam style. Not over the top, just perfect in every way :)
OMG those shoes! I so want them and I have been trying to get my hands on the black pair for a while now but they are sold out!!!
HAHAHA, that little letter is adorable! And I agree with you–although I, like, other prints, used to be wary of leopard, I now embrace it. Definitely great to spicing up an ordinary outfit to something extraordinary. :) I adore your skirt, and those lace-up heels are gorgeous!
Love you and your everlasting love for leopard!

HAHAHAHA! I love your letter to the Leopard! It’s so cute and creative. Love this outfit btw, so casual and chic and I’m totally diggin’ those laced up booties!
KT I love those Schutz shoes and you definitely make leopard look good! I used to be one of those people (lol) who didn’t like leopard but I c=have really come to love them now and even have 4-5 items in my closet that’s a favorite of mine: a scarf, a pair of flats, a pair of pumps and a top. I would love to find a dress one day that I’ll love as well. Btw – your hair is getting so long! I remember it was dark, super curly and black. It was cute back then too but this look is so sexy and chic!
Lovely leopard skirt!
