Walk On the Wild Side!

Apr 282011

Lions and tigers and bears…men are not shying away from animal prints this year as seen on runways and on some of today’s hottest celebrities and music artists.

An array of bold patterns including zebra, leopard and snakeskin can be found on men’s clothing items including shoes, jackets, shirts and ties. These prints are not for the faint of heart but for men with the confidence, attitude and flare to pull off these bold looks! Rock music legend, Steven Tyler has reintroduced animal print shirts with his recent turn as American Idol judge and the fans can’t get enough.

Last summer, I picked up a leopard print tie at Le Chateau, great for summer paired with a lighter coloured shirt in ivory, cream or light yellow and, this past winter, found a zebra print sweater at Zara for about $60. If you want to go high end fashion, check out a leopard print bomber jacket by Givenchy (Spring/Summer 2011 Collection) retailing for about $3,078 as recently worn by Kanye West.

“Animal has been on men for a long time – music, fashion. It’s a classic.” says designer Geof Cullerton whose custom made leopard and zebra inspired Serengeti sneakers are available online right here at Ego and Greed .

So the next time you step out, take a walk on the wild side!

Ladies, it’s time to get hipped to EGO and GREED, a one-of-a-kind custom made online shoe store whose website features an old-Hollywood flare with Billy Holiday singing in the background and boasting many joyous compliments from customers happy with their latest purchases. I am absolutely in love with my new tribal inspired ballet slippers our pal Gene sent from E & G, a sneak peak of their summer 2011 collection.

The packaged shoes were made with care. The flats are soft, comfortable, and make you feel like you’re walking on clouds. The insides are sweet, funky and the outside, a cool gray suede, which can be paired with jeans or a fun spring skirt. I took a few shots of my new found spring/summer love – Enjoy!

Thanks again EGO and GREED for a lovely sneak peak into your summer 2011 collection. I will cherish these flats forever. They are durable, soft and feel like heaven.

Spring Leather Love

Here is a Great Post From Our Friends @ 24Blogazine.

Check out their Great Blog!

This spring, whether you’re hanging with your favorite guy pal, heading to the gym or meeting up with friends for dinner – put on a leather jacket to add a rocker edge to your look.

Taylor Lautner and his friend Lilly show how a simple gray hoodie and blue jeans can go a long way by simply adding a tight fit leather jacket. And a simple trip to the gym doesn’t have to mean boring sweats and tee; a hard edged, studded cropped jacket worn by Nicole Richie will spice things up and create a stylish appearance after a workout.

Leather jackets can also be incorporated into the latest 70s spring trend! Copy Jessica’s outfit in pairing your flared jeans with feather earrings and a brown leather jacket and white tank. If you like to go out, no matter what you’re wearing, add any leather jacket to spice up your wardrobe and get you feeling like a rockstar, in a good way!
