I have always loved leopard. Case in point: the leopard fringe monokini I rocked to the pool at the age of eight. So as you can imagine I'm overjoyed to see leopard getting the editorial coverage it deserves! From tiny touches like hats and shoes, pillows and throws, to roaring loud statements like jackets and pants, carpets and chairs, this print is simply...wait for it...the cat's meow. (Groan!)
Not only do I adore the playful glam sensibility that leopard projects, I'm surprised at how versatile it can be. Pair it with reds, blacks, and greys for a nouveau riche opulence, or tone it down with shades of cocoa, gold and taupe for an aristocratic safari vibe. Or simply appreciate it from afar and let its daring energy set the mood for a wonderful weekend! xo

Leopard is one of my favorite prints. I love it in clothing, shoes and accessories. When I have my own home, it must have leopard. And toile! My two required patterns. Not sure how those will work in a single home, but I'll make it. You've got a great eye! I've never missed the correlation between your outfit to room posts! Have a great weekend!

you know what's kinf of funny? growing up, my grandmother, who didn't exactly have the best decorating taste, covered her apartment in animal prints, i'm talking images of lions on the wall, the whole shibang! even at a young age i thought, i am never having animal prints in my home, in any way shape or form. but i have to confess, i do love little touches. i have on leopard pillow on my couch (it's small). it's a start! i am loving the images you've found!

Every room needs just a touch of animal print to add a bit of sophistication and interest. a pillow, footstool, lampshade, ceramic box you name it...

It so wonderful to see that you can incorporate a piece of leopard printed interior design into even the most classic and traditional home. It may create a more boheme look, my I think that is just a way to create a calm and comfortable living scene. Love this post!

Interesting layout on your blog. I really enjoyed reading it and also I will be back to read more in the future.

this was a garage sale bike I picked up for $100 for a biking / camping trip.
I never thought of the solutions proposed by ME and sourceoutdoors. I wonder if the 'off centre' pounding wouldn't do more damage than it would solve? When I replace this bike, I'll put your solution to the test.
At any rate, I just returned from a five-day trip on the beautiful Gulf Islands off Canada's West Coast and the seat gave me no grief whatsoever.

So all the planets from Mercury out to Pluto go retrograde at regular intervals. Mercury is retrograde 3 or 4 times a year, Venus every 18 months, and Mars every 26 months, mas o menos. The outers all go retrograde once a year for several months.
A retrograde re-traces ground we've already covered once. We cross a sector of the zodiac once. Then if a planet retrogrades, we move back across that span again, retracing those degree points. Then when a retrograde is done and the planet goes direct in motion we'll again move across that span of degrees. That span becomes an area of importance in our lives, since we get 3 experiences of that part of the zodiacal reality.
All retrogrades help us integrate what we learn as we move forward in our lives and affairs. Some parts of our evolution move forward quickly as the planets move forward in motion through the signs. But then at some point, they slow down and get a new look at ground already covered. Then when they resume fdsforward motion, it symbolizes a time when we can take what we learned, then re-learned, and apply those lessons in new ways.
