Known for her incomparable beauty and grace, Aphrodite stands as the goddess of love. She’s rarely pictured wearing clothes, but when she is, everything is designed to treasure the feminine form. Roberto Cavalli’s Cleopatra metallic dress, made of metallic green lurex, has a smocked bodice, ruching along waistband, built in bust support, a vent on front of skirt and a zip fastening on back. The look certainly is sensual and alluring.

Jay Godfrey’s one-shoulder mini dress is a short sassy heart stopper.

I know. I thought the ankle boot trend would be over last year, but they’re back and better than ever. Every designer has their own take on the new staple. Moschino Cheap & Chic Lace-Up Fur Lined Ankle Boot may be the very definition of luxury. Match them with a pair of tights or skinny jeans to complete the look. Not quite sure you’re ready to accept the trend-turned-classic? Wear them with longer pants and they’ll just look like a regular pair of boots. It’s like two shoes in one.

Christian Louboutin’s Alta Ariella Talon Leopard Boots take a walk on the wild side. They screams, “I have confidence.” David Webb’s 18kt yellow gold enamel cougar ring with emerald eyes demands attention, while Vivre’s own animal print allegra bags are my perennial favorite slim carry all.

Want a more subtle animal print look? Anya Hindmarch’s ‘Jennie’ haircalf flats are perfect when paired with her calf hair cut out handle bag. Add a little safari to your closet with David Meister stretch satin cocktail dress and D&G’s signature leopard print silk blend babydoll top. Welcome the night in Josie Natori’s kenya chemise spaghetti strap gown in an exotic zebra print with sexy lace trim. Michael Koors and Marc Jacobs also know their prints.
