Leila Shams FW12

I have two fashion addictions: 1) the color black (boooorrrrrinnnggg, I know) and 2) animal prints. And there is NOBODY who can do a killer animal print like Leila Shams.

Of course, there are other reasons why Leila is so appealing. First, she's pint size and super duper petite. You can't hate on someone so tiny - it would be like saying you hate Oprah and NO ONE hates the big O. Two, she has an unbelievable sense of humor and isn't ashamed to self deprecation. Thirdly, she's a reality star, who's been featured with one of the editorial faves, Joe Zee. (Joe and Grace Coddington are like the Oprahs of fashion editors - no one can hate on them. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for Anna Wintour...)

But honestly, the clothes speak for themselves.










Sometimes, I wonder if Leila has a one track mind into the thoughts of bloggers. Giant, open mouthed monkey. Perfectly pleated leather skirt. Imperfect knits. Maxi dresses with a sequin panel. If your inner fangirl isn't squealing right now, you must be a man.
