Snakeskin Looks


The last week was final one in school before easter vacation. Tomorrow I'll start my week-long internship at our local newspaper. I'm totally excited but also a little afraid but until now I heard only good things from the students who were there before. Well, let's just wait and see ☺
Lately I didn't post because I had to concentrate on school since there were thousands of projects, tests etc.

Inspired by the current animal print trend and my vintage bag which (pic above) today's topic is the snakeskin look which was also shown on the runway besides the famous leo print. It can look very classy and noble but also trashy and cheap.


Rodarte Fall 2009 RTW

Prada Spring 2009 RTW

Miu Miu Spring 2009 RTW

Louis Vuitton and Hèrmes Spring 2009 RTW








For me the 'natural' snakeskin look is the best. I think if you combine it with simple colors like black or cream you can't go wrong. Yet I didn't wear my bag but maybe I'll stick to it in the future and take Natasha Poly, Miranda Kerr and Snejana Onopka as an example.

What do you think about snakeskin? Would you wear it?

Have a nice rest sunday

Nothing says luxe like an exotic snake skin, I'd definitely wear it but only if it were a more neutral shade, nothing too bright.

Yeah I think snake skin looks great! I agree with you though, it HAS to be tastefully done

I can't say I'd never wear snakeskin, but as of right now, I'm just not into it. Good luck with your internship and have a good vaca!! Keep us posted on how it goes :)

I like it so much, but it has to be used in moderation...I guess :)

agnes said...

I love the snejana's pic :)

Snakeskins?? I am not really that into wild, but honestly as long as it looks good, I care not.

Happy weekends!

I LOVE snakeskin and have several pairs of shoes and a favorite vintage clutch in the "natural" finish. Can't explain the love, but it always gets me!

i prefer it on accessories as well - although it wouldn't be bad as one focal piece, either.

Shes Dressing Up said...

I wouldn't wear the real thing, but I love snakeskin prints!

Rebecca Jane said...

I love your little bag! I also like the snakeskin look but I agree, in natural looking colours.

A BIT COQUETTISH said...

I think I'm quite scared of the real thing, but snakeskin prints/embossed on leather are completely chic!

Bisous,
