Roar, hiss

No matter how hard you try, it’s impossible to get away from animal prints. They’ve even made their way onto jewelry, like this sassy snakeskin inspired bracelet at Claire’s. Price tag: $6.50.


Also on the wild side are these Leopard Betty earrings at Forever21 for $2.80. They’re also available in a more petite style for walking closer to the tamer side.

It’s the flowers, dude


Poppies sort of have a bad rap. All those drug references, and then there’s that dreadful scene in the Wizard of Oz…it’s too bad, really.

But this lovely cosmetics case from Urban Outfitters puts a friendly spin on pretty, non-coma-inducing poppies. And it’s available for $28.
