We've been intrigued by some of the crazy animal print handbags out there, but the high price tags on designer models made us step away from the giraffe pattern. It just seems silly to spend so much money on a bag that you wind up with a pretty, but empty, tote. Why aren't you wearing this? Color-Block Croc-Print Flats

Two trends that we can expect to continue through the fall season are color-blocking and animal prints. And, as you are probably well-aware, purple is the color this autumn, although there's something even more popular -- saving money in this uncertain economy.

Why aren't you wearing this? Croc-embossed Bangle
Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves
We love animal-inspired accessories. Animal prints and faux skins have become even more popular in mainstream fashion after the safari trend this past spring and summer, and we're anxious to continue incorporating these looks into our fall wardrobes. However, for some occasions, such as work, we prefer to keep our animal embellishments on the subtle side.

Why aren't you wearing this? Jansport Laptop Sleeve
Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves
We know that not everyone has a job in which they can carry around a leopard print laptop bag. And, even if they can, it might not always match what they're wearing. But, that doesn't mean they don't want a little animal print (or something equally funky) in their life, right?That's why we're digging these Jansport Laptop Sleeves, available at Macy's for $35. You can carry your computer in as boring a bag as you like, knowing that there's something way more interesting behind the zipper. Kind of like underwear, but underwear you can show your co-workers. Okay, underwear you can show your co-workers without getting fired.
I want that! Joy Brant in Alexander McQueen
Filed under: Get the Look
Her fashion sense reflects her name in our books – joyous. At the Alexander McQueen store opening in L.A. a few months back, the lovely Joy Bryant wore one of the designer's killer tiger stripped strapless maxi dresses.
Only Joy can make something that could go so terribly wrong look so right... and cute! We just love how she always has such a casual glamor about her. Hell, she pulls off McQueen with a jean jacket better than anyone we know.
• Alexander McQueen, Neiman Marcus, $4248

Roberto Cavalli does designer Coke bottles
Filed under: Style in the News
We guess its safe to say Roberto Cavalli is on a mission to cover every inanimate object in animal print. WWD reports the Italian designer has been tapped by Coke to re-work their classic Diet Coke bottle for the hip crowd that will be descending upon Milan in September for fashion week. Cavalli designed three bottles, all wrapped in different animal prints, that will be sold in Italy from September through December.
But don't get too excited, Italian lovers. There are only going to be 300, 000 of the limited-edition Diet Coke bottles made. So unless you can sneak into one of those uber swanky fashion parties cum fall, you're just going to have to pray that one of the bottles makes its way onto Ebay.
Why aren't you wearing this? Giraffe-print belt

We are really digging the safari trend this year. The khakis, browns, and blacks are so easy to mix and match, pretty much anyone can pull off, and it just begs for gorgeous, funky accessories.

The safari trend is huge this season, and just because you're not quite ready for this, that doesn't mean you can't find a way to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe that suits your personality.

Leopard Print for Summer
Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing
Leopard print never goes out of style, argue with me all you want, but it is timeless. Leopard print amateurs typically wear it with red or black and slip it in their outfit when they want to look a little foxy. Leopard print and other animal prints are often associated with the cooler months as well (perhaps it's the whole fur thing) but the truth is leopard is in style year round. There are plenty of ways to incorporate it into your wardrobe this summer; something as simple as a watch with a slick leopard face or you can hide your wild side with a pair of leopard panties; there is a bit of leopard for everyone.
Jungle fever -- the leaf-print trend
Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie
A new trend for the season doesn't involve animal skin patterns, but leaves. iVillage.com writes about leaf-print products - shoes, dresses, and bathing suits. I've never been too fond of animal print (leopard, cheetah -- whatever wild animal it may be). However, this twist on a "nature" theme pattern is quite refreshing to the male perspective. No longer must I see the gold and black patterns that should forever be banned, I'm happy to say that pleasing shades of green are in.
It's quite obvious that I can't say Wow, I would LOVE to wear this. I can, however, honestly say that a few of these items I would love to see on a significant other.
This keyhole leafprint dress (which functions as a halter-style or tube-dress look) is perfect for the dog-days of summer, maybe a shoeless sunset stroll on the beach.
One of my biggest turnoffs -- a leopard-print bathing suit. Luckily, Gap is with the program this season and has this palm-style print bathing suit, just the thing to avoid those gold and black polka dots.
