African Safaris Are Here to Stay

Girlfriends need that 2-hour girl-talk segment periodically, just to avoid feeling like the opposite sex is not tearing down their morale. My best friend and I are kindred spirits and the majority of the time we don’t even have to say anything to know what the other is thinking. Just this afternoon, we had one of those spontaneous, never-ending conversations where you cover pretty much every topic since the beginning of time. A very close friend of ours is getting married in a couple of months and as bridesmaids, we’ve caught the early stress bouquet. So naturally, we had to discover all of the upcoming events.

Even though there’s only one MOH, we’re all so close that we all feel responsible for making her last couple months as a single girl, completely memorable. Tackling the task of cooking up a phenomenal Bachelorette Party and Bridal Shower are on our most urgent lists right now. As many can clearly see, the African animal prints trend isn’t going anywhere. Zebra, cheetah, giraffe, snakeskin and leopard prints are adorable and they’re fun to mix with solids—this applies to décor and clothes!

Since it could possibly be too common to do an animal print theme for a bridal shower, the idea could definitely work for other events. It may not be too prevalent here, but one of our office neighbors happens to be a hunter and he loved one of our tribal design patterns. Sorry, ladies! I guess men started the whole animal print trend. Before we women were “discovered” as able human beings, there were hunters wearing tiger capes and lying on bear rugs in front of the fireplace.

The trend is unisex: Tribal Designs, Rainforest Animals
