If you know my little Disney heart, you know the Jungle Cruise is my favorite Mk ride! Are your engines purring? I know mine are! Spokes-kitten Flannery (look at those toenails!) bids you welcome to the 1st (and possibly) Annual 
Now this is a loose and free-flowing event (like my thoughts and my midsection) …..just post your animal print splendor and I will repost/link up and we will have many stylish lynx-links to enjoy! 
Some lovely style bloggers will be stepping in to lend a hand with insights into styling your way thru the animal kingdom and of course, I will be tracking down that notorious often pirated video of Karl Lagerfeld singing ‘If I could talk to the animals’ while wearing a full giraffe costumes! 
So if you haven’t made your New Years resolutions- may I suggest…..
SEW WITH MORE ANIMAL PRINT!!!!
To encourage and entice you:
Divine Mess ala Mood Fabrics- ooh!
Or perhaps, this little charmer from fabric mart–
Burberry Prefall 2013 Giraffe perhaps? 
a little Mary McFadden? 
Armani Prive…with or without the hat-
Remember- all it takes is style to rule the jungle!

I’ve got my eye out for some animal print jersey to make a maternity wrap dress. But I can’t promise you I’ll follow through. I’m not sure how a baby bump will look in cat print. And I’m still a little scarred from my Tigra blouse. But I want that button on my blog! I love it!

I bought some emerald green leopard print stretch denim last summer. I planned to make a skirt from it. Now that Pantone’s color of 2013 is emerald, this might be the perfect time to sew that skirt. Thanks for the inspiration!
