Cheetah

I styled this outfit with the express purpose of showing off this adorable Rebecca Minkoff cheetah print pouch. I recently entered a giveaway with LemonCrate through Twitter (follow the ladies!) and won this pouch. Perfect for accessories, but also chic enough to use as a clutch for thin items like your phone and business cards, I am looking forward to using this on a more regular basis. In order to show off the animal print (of which I own none!) I went for a simple black and white pencil skirt and tee outfit. My tights added a pop of color on this wet, chilly day, and still managed not to overshadow the fierce print of this leather clutch. Stay tuned as CP will be re-styling the pouch as well!

For a word on LemonCrate, because I'm eternally grateful that I actually won something - they're a company that acts as your personal shopper - discovering deals and highlighting fantastic design items like Kate Spade jewelry and Tory Burch bags (to name a few). You can create a profile online and start exploring at http://www.lemoncrate.com/. Also, they have great giveaways (obviously) and you should check them out at their sweepstakes page for more like it!.
