A fresh daily work or health routine may appeal. This weekend may be intense or involve considerable changes; for some, in a key relationship. Take the time to weigh how you wish a personal or family matter to proceed.

THE TREND: THE NEW ANIMAL PRINT

- - No comments
Who doesn’t love a bit of animal print? This season welcomes back the notorious trend, but this time in bold colours, new silhouettes and more versatility.
Animal print is back with a vengeance. Bolder colours, unexpected silhouettes and diverse patterns put a fresh twist on the trend this season.
A staple in most autumn/winter fashion week collections, animal print has migrated to summer in colours, patterns and styles we previously only dreamed of (thank you fashion gods). Just look at Off-White’s snakeskin in battery-acid green, Burberry’s brown cow-print skirts and Roberto Cavalli’s abstract tiger/zebra hybrids – all of which made the classic leopard print look (dare we say it) rather basic on the SS19 runways.

If extra oomph is something you appreciate, mixing animal prints in unexpected ways will do just that – it's a surefire way to add quirk to any outfit. More is more is more, so be daring and stand out with the must-have pieces you can shop below.
