Wild over Leopard.

And Warhol's muse Edie Sedgwick lounging on top of her leopard coat.  

I adore leopard print and think anyone can pull off a touch of leopard in her everyday style, the trick is just to stick to one item of leopard.   Over the years I have become a collector of animal print trenches and coats, but a leopard scarf or shoe is fabulous as well.  Enjoy some images of leopard in interior design and fashion.

Jackie received this coat from Ethiopian Emeperor Haile Selassie during his visit to the White House in 1962.  Concerned that Jackie would think the coat was too exotic,  he placed two of these leopard inspirecd bracelets (below) into one of the coat's pockets.  She absolutely adored both presents.

Zodiac Love.

I love astrology and truly believe in a lot of it.  As a Taurus, I am a lot like my sign.  I love the finer things in life, have a tendency to become a little lazy, and I am tremendously stubborn.  If you are someone who thinks astrology is too vague and a silly pastime, you can still appreciate some of these beautiful pieces inspired by astrology.  

This 1970's Tiffany Pisces Medallion is on 1stdibs.  I started looking for Zodiac charms after I was given my grandmother's charm bracelet from the 1950's.  Charm bracelets were very popular during that time period and I've found that almost all of them had a Zodiac charm on them.  She was a Capricorn, so I'm still on the hunt for a Taurus medallion.  Have not had much luck, much be a lot of Taureans out there

This amazing bracelet is also on 1stdibs and also by Tiffany.  Definitely on my birthday wish list.

Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco, was very proud of her sign, Scorpio.  So much so that for her 40th birthday party she threw a Scorpio Ball.  She had portraits hung of other famous Scorpios (like Marie Antoinette) and only fellow Scorpios and their significant others were invited.  Here is a photograph of Elizabeth Taylor (Pisces) and Richard Burton (Scorpio) arriving to the Fête.  Notice the Scorpions on Liz.

Astrology-lovers everywhere were up in arms over the news report that our astrological sign wasn't really our true sign. It was reported by a Minnesota astronomer that the sun no longer aligns with the constellations it did a millenia ago so the sign we use is off by about a month (according to this, I'm an Aires and not a Taurus.) Also, because of this earth-wobbling there is a 13th sign called Ophiuchus.  However, everyone can rest easy.  I learned tonight that this does not apply to anyone born before 2009 and if you are a Westerner, your sign wont change in the tropical zodiac.
