Who doesn't need a messenger bag? These bags are so handy that everyone can use them whether they're making a fashion statement or using them as a laptop bag, courier satchel or even a diaper bag. It's because messenger bags are so versatile that they are a perfect gift idea and these animal print messenger bags are particularly cool.

There are lots of different types of animal print messenger bags available from cowhide to zebra print and they are all pretty hot in the fashion stakes at the moment so let's have a look at some right now -

This first animal print bag is actually of a cow print.   The gorgeous black and white cow-print design is on the front flap and the back of the bag.   It's nicely offset with purple showing on the bottom of the bag, this is carried on through purple piping along the flap of the messenger bag.   In a word this is gorgeous!

Now we're moving on to a wild animal - the cheetah!

There are so many tiger print messenger bags to choose from that it was hard to narrow it down to just one, but I liked the fact that you could personalize this animal print bag.   There's just something about adding a person's name to a gift that seems to make it mean more.

Staying with the big cats we're now going to look at a leopard print messenger bag -

This is a very trendy looking animal print bag and whoever said you can't combine black and brown obviously haven't seen this bag!   I think it's gorgeous because of it's versality - you can use this bag whether you're wearing black shoes or brown shoes - and there's not many bags like that!   You can actually get leopard print in a number of different colors, but this one really captures the wild look and I think it's a must have messenger bag.

Next we're going to look at a very popular animal print - zebra print.   I absolutely love zebra print and especially the different colored zebra print products that are available at the moment.

I've decided to show you the traditional black and white zebra pattern and this particular bag can also be customized with a monogram which is pretty cool, especially for a gift idea.   The purple trim with the black and white zebra stripe is a great look and I think this animal print messenger bag would be appreciated by just about anyone!

I couldn't leave this selection of animal print bags at just that however as I've fallen in love with a hot pink and black zebra print bag -

Z is for Zebra

Zebra print is so much fun whether you use it in fashion or in home decor it's just .......well fun!   A couple of months ago we brought my tween a pair of suspenders and they look like this -


Aren't they cool?   DD loves them and wears them a lot as she thinks they add a great bit of whimsy to her outfit and I think she's right.  

I don't think I would be able to pull them off, but they are pretty cool.

I also like the idea of buying a zebra scarf to use in my wardrobe - as a scarf or a belt or just tied around my handbag for an added accent.

Other ways to add a touch of zebra print to an outfit is by adding a bag or a pair of sunglasses.

There are lots more ways of adding a touch of zebra print to your outfit like zebra print jewelry, watches etc There are even hair bands in zebra print.

Wearing zebra print as a dress or top, however has to be done with care as most people cannot carry it off. I saw a poster of Lady Gaga wearing a zebra print top and it really did her no favors despite the fact that she has a great figure. This might be why so many zebra print fashion accessories are available because it's a way that anyone can add a little safari to their outfit.

This is the final post in the April A to Z Blogging Challenge and I must say it's been fun, but very tiring! I will be taking a couple of days off now, especially as it's a long weekend for me and I'll catch up with you all later in the week.

Y is for YSL

YSL bags that is!   YSL bags seem to be a favorite with many celebrities and when you look at the designs it's hardly surprising.

Yves Saint Laurent has such a wide variety of gorgeous bags to choose from that it would be hard not to find at least one that you want to own.   The Muse is a long time favorite of many celebs whereas I like the classic look of the Majorelle, you can find both of these designs plus others on YSL Bags are the Best Bags!

Even that site doesn't list all of the YSL bags that are available however, there's also designs called the Large Roady and the Multy which also look great......I can't find where to purchase these, but just search for them on ebay occasionally as it's amazing how many times you can grab a YSL bag at very affordable prices.
