Animal Friendly Animal Prints

Animal print is a clothing and fashion style in which the garment is made to resemble the pattern of the skin and fur of an animal such as a leopard, cheetah, zebra or giraffe. Animal print accessories also have a major role in making them popular. They change the entire persona of a person. Jewelry, handbags, footwear, coats, jackets and dresses are some of them.

Animal prints have long been a popular style for many reasons. For one, they are generally expensive and considered rather exotic; hence they are a symbol of wealth and status. Animal print became popular for women in the United States in the late 1960s during the Hippie movement.

Fur Clothing:

Fur is still worn in most countries, although an increasing number of consumers and designers reject fur because of cruelty. There are sellers who offer duplicate fur clothes and people find it difficult to find the difference between the original and duplicate fur. These are the reasons why they don't like to wear fur and move to animal print clothing.

Animal Print Dresses For Women:

These dresses offer unique potential for fashion style. They also add a touch of class to a smart outfit. There are many types of animal print fashion recommended in the market. However the few famous animal print goes to zebra print, leopard print and also the giraffe print.

Cheetah Print Dresses:

A true cheetah print will consist of simple black, solid spot. Cheetah spots are typically much simpler than leopard spots. Leopard spots on the other hand involve clusters of black spots with some brown regions. They tend to look more like complicated rosettes than just dots. The secret of wearing an animal based pattern fashion trend successfully is to relate the volume of pattern to our personality.

Leopard Print Clothing:

It is a fashion trend that steadily grows in summer, and will continue to be prominent through the autumn and winter. One way that the animal print trend is developing is that it includes other animal skins, for example, ocelot, cow, tiger and jaguar. An increasing number of accessories have animal print textures.

These are never go out of style. There are a lot of colors but the classic is the beige, brown and black combination. These tops look great with denim jeans because the jeans extenuate the look of the leopard and draws attention to the print.

Where to Find a Pet? A Breeder, a Store, an Animal Shelter - Advantages and Disadvantages to Each

Your goal to find a dog should be to obtain a healthy, well socialized, active temperamentally sound puppy or dog with a good start on life. If you take the time to seek out a reputable breeder, pet store, shelter or rescue group your chances of finding a dog with the characteristics above increases by 50%.

Here are the Advantages and Disadvantages of all three.

BREEDERS

Breeders Advantages

o You'll often receive a healthy, well socialized breed with a good start on life. If the breeder has been breeding for some time, they know what they are doing.

o The breeder will include a contract with a health guarantee.

o Most of the time the breeders will have the mother and father on site for you to see.

o Sometimes the breeder will even have a history of past generations.

Breeders Disadvantages

o It can take some time and work to find a reputable breeder. (see my next report on 9 questions to ask a breeder)

o Purebreds are more expensive

o The breeder may only breed at certain times of the year. You may be ready for a pet, when the breeder doesn't have any. Sometimes the breeder will take orders for animals that are not even born yet. Putting you on a waiting list.

Pet Store Advantages

o You can often find animals with unusual physical characteristics for a specific breed.

o You don't need to do any groundwork.

o It is very convenient for an impulse buy. Although I do not recommend impulse buying. I think you should research what type of animal you want before purchase.

o I have found that sometimes in a pet store if one animal gets sick many of the other ones do.

Pet Store Disadvantages

o All of the above are also disadvantages.

o Also, usually in a pet store you are not dealing with a breeder, possibly a teenager behind the counter.

Animal Shelter Advantages

o You can save a dog or cats life

o Some people are not interested in dealing with raising a puppy, because of behavior or house training. An Animal Shelter allows you to adopt an older dog.

o The physical appearance of an older dog and any behavior problems will already be established. In others words, what you see is what you get an older dog.

Animal Shelter Disadvantages

o The animal may have been well taken care of (shots etc) or abused or/ and neglected before it arrived at the shelter.

o You may wind up with a pet that has behavioral or physical problems that you did not expect.

Breed or Rescue Groups Advantages

o The Rescue group advantages are the same for the Animal Shelter, plus it can be a great opportunity to own a retired champion. I know several people who have adopted greyhounds, and love them.

o Many animals that have been rescued have had basic training.

Breed or Rescue Group Disadvantages

o Rescue animals may be a great distance away from your home and possibly prove an unsuitable match after you bring them home.

o The screening process for getting a rescued animal is sometimes very strict.

Wherever you decide to find your dog always remember that a dog can be a valuable and beloved member of your household. If you give it the time and care it needs it will give that love back to you 10 fold.

The Wild Card Handbag

OCELOT

Bring out your wild side, with an animal print handbag. A popular pattern for the last few seasons, the animal patterned accessory is set to continue to be one of the most wanted and fashionable accessories. Popular patterns range from the eye catching giraffe and the zebra to the wild cat prints (tiger, leopard and jaguar). The best thing about animal print bags is the fact they can easily revamp a plain outfit and will go with just about anything!

The designers have as usual gone mad over the animal print handbag, creating handbags of various shapes and sizes (from tote to purse). So far this year, we have seen the likes of Ralph Lauren create an over sized hobo with Ocelot pattern (painted leopard), Jimmy Choo's suede zebra clutch bag, a leopard bowling bag from Yves St. Laurent and the Longchamp shoulder bag in jaguar print. This year it certainly seems the season for cats!

Bring Out Your Inner Sparkle

It's back, the metallic handbag of course! Since it arrived on the scene in 2007, the metallic handbag remained a popular design and like the animal print bag, it is set to be a bag on everyone's shoulders in 2010 and 2011. Metallic this season can be worn in its full on glory, shining brightly in golds and bronzes, or added onto a plain suede bag as a complementary colour. Whether you choose full on metallic or partial, it's bound to give your outfit that much needed sparkle.

So from the designers, we have seen several metallic beauties which have appeased us this season. Mulberry's Gretchal Satchel is an appealing metallic lambskin purse in a golden bronze, which is not too in your face. Its browney-golden-bronze colour makes it a perfect choice this autumn as an complimentary accessory to heavy brown sued winter coats. If you don't do subtle, the Diane von Furstenberg metallic gold tote bag is for you. Bright gold leather is bound to get you noticed, and compliment any outfit.
