Leopard is one of my favorite prints.  Since it is a bold pattern, I usually like to pair it with a neutral color like black or tan, and then add a little pop of color, like red or orange.

One trend that was big in the fall and is still big this spring is ankle strap heels. I have yet to purchase a pair, so I shopped around and found a few options that I like. I like the high back of #1, 3 and 4, but the mesh detail on #5 or the stacked cut-out of #2 is also cool. What do you think - which one is your favorite?

Note: Both Zara and Zappos offers free shipping both ways, which makes it risk free to try them out!
