Style Trend: Animal Prints

Until yesterday evening I had no idea I would be doing a post today on animal prints but here is how I got my inspiration. On Monday I found some beautiful animal print stationary with the help of one of my blogging friends Amy Labadie. Amy offers a great service called Paper Concierge. Basically Amy will help you do all your stationary shopping! The website has a great selection of note cards, invitations, stamps, and other fun items. Amy also has an awesome blog of her own called All the Little Things which I adore. I don't know about you but I like to have a good stock of personalized stationary including thank you cards and note cards on hand. So, Amy suggested a few options and I thought these pink animal note cards were bright and fun. Amy is also helping me order matching return address wraps to go with them. I cannot wait for these notecards to arrive!

Yesterday morning I snapped a couple of pictures of Ariyana as she was on her way out the door to preschool. And, I was already wearing this outfit in the evening so I decided to throw on this animal print scarf and this bangle my mom brought back for me from Kenya. (Personally, I like the animal print trend but in small doses. )

So, voila! This is how I got my inspiration yesterday.

Have you embraced the animal print trend for the summer? What fun animal print items have you added to your wardrobe?
