When we think of closet staples, our wardrobes burst with cool greys, whites and neutral classic favourites, like toffee, navy and black, with red thrown in to keep it all from becoming too predictable.
But somewhere within we always have our favourite wardrobe pieces that glamorize and sparkle our wardrobe alive with provocative vigour - our favourite red lippy or our constant femme fatale addition of animal print.
Leopard print evokes images of bygone Silver Screen Hollywood glamour stars, Rita Hayworth, Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren.
