Leopard is one of the hottest trends for fall. Everyone from Hilary Duff to Rachel Bilson to Keri Hilson is wearing leopard print items on pretty much everything ... dresses, shoes, pants, bags, and beyond.

It's not the first time this trend has reared its head but this season leopard print is roaring its way back into vogue with a vengeance. Here are the celebs unleashing their wild side with a touch of animal magic...

I am loving MK Olsen with her colored leopard printed scarf! The trendy twin showcased her colourful Louis Vuitton stove that's since been on every fashionistas wish list (especially mine!!)

1. Round Up a Posse of White Cotton Button-Downs

They elevate jeans and keep ball skirts from drifting into fantasy-land. But all that mileage comes at a cost: a short shelf life. So buy three, don't over-bleach (which can cause yellowing), and refresh regularly.

2. Accessorize in Brights

If you've got a closet full of neutrals—be they navy, black, camel, or gray—add energy with boldly hued shoes and bags. Not only is a hunter green satchel more lively than ho-hum black, but it's also surprisingly versatile. Feeling really brave? Wear a neutral base with shoes and a bag in two different complementary colors.

A Pop of Color...

Adding of POP of color to any outfit will enhance your look.  I love pairing neutral tones with a bright bold color.  Have fun and be a kid again- go a little wild and be a little bit daring!  Wear those bright Crayola red shoes with your LBD for dinner! You only live once!

Kim K. is wearing a neutral toned ensemble but adds a kick of color with her bright yellow Hermes bag.  Her simplistic look is quickly transformed into more edgy and stylish.

I suggest do a bold bag or shoe- not both! It may look too tacky (i.e. Bethenny Frankel).

Faux Leather? Yes, please!

A fashion trend that I really truly LOVE = The leather dress. 


The LBD has gone to the dark side!  This new trend has been popping up left and right in the fashion industry.  This once tacky look has now become so sleek and sophisticated and the dress literally oozes sex appeal.  (And a bonus!) Wearing leather during the day is no longer only for the bad ass or sex kitten (i.e. Angelina Jolie), it's for any girl next door looking to revamp their wardrobe and add a classy-fresh piece.

As for styling, I absolutely love the dress with no embellishments at all- it's such a bold statement all on its own.  If you're feeling a little adventurous, add a pop of color with a shoe or a bag.  I think going simple is the way to go.  You don't want to look like you're dressing for Halloween. For the hair, I tend to favor the soft flowing sleek hair or the pulled back in a nice pony-tail look.   


These celebs have my vote for BEST DRESSED in the sexy leather dress.
