The Look: Burberry + Grafitti

Fun Fact: It was soo chilly out today, so and I wore my boyfriends Burberry trench coat that his Dad gave him! But I updated it and wore it inside out because I thought it looked cool! Haha!

Black Jaguar

The term “black panther” may be applied to several types of great cat, but in the Amazon it refers to jaguars. Not a separate species, but a rare color variant, black jaguars are powerful hunters and play a vital role within their ecosystem. Like all jaguars, these carnivores are masters of ambush, and it is thought that their dark color adaptation might aid these cats in their hunting. Unfortunately, like all jaguars, this color variation of the species is just as susceptible to threats like habitat loss.

Polar Bear

Polar bears populate the annual arctic sea ice in northern Canada, Greenland, Norway, and Russia. Between late April and mid-July, polar bears hunt ringed and bearded seals on the sea ice. With adult males weighing up to 1,430 pounds and growing as much as nine feet in length, they are the world’s largest terrestrial carnivores. As a result of climate change, sea ice is melting earlier and forming later each year, leaving polar bears less time to hunt. As their ice habitat shrinks, skinnier and hungrier bears face a grave challenge to their survival.

Przewalski's Horse

Once designated as extinct in the wild, captive breeding programs have reintroduced this wild horse to the shrub-lands and plains of Mongolia. Przewalski’s horses graze primarily on grasses and other vegetation. They live in social groups consisting of a dominant stallion, a lead mare and other mares and their offspring. Stockier and shorter legged than a domestic horse, males defend their mares more actively than they defend their territory. The only wild horse left in the world, Przewalski’s horses are threatened by habitat loss.

Fun Fact: I am in LOVE with all of this jewelry! Pink and red are my favourite colors together and it looks like candy! WOW! Carole got us addicted to layering jewelry and now we are obsessed and can't stop! I got this vintage Saigon jacket 8 years ago when Lara Croft Tomb Raider Cradle of Life movie came out. I played the computer game as a kid, and was soo obsessed when Angelina wore a Saigon jacket in the movie. These vintage Saigon jackets are really hard to find and really expensive! So when I found this vintage one for $40.00, I just had to get it. Anyways, I haven't worn it in years, but since Isabel Marant's Spring 2011 show showed Saigon jackets, and Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony's designed one, they are coming back with vengeance! I love the whole idea of wearing them in a pin up/varsity kinda way!

German shepherd

This breed was developed in the 19th century by Max Von Stephanitz who is considered to be the father of the German Shepherd. Revered for their versatility as companion and for their dedication to work, this breed has the distinction of being the first dog ever used as a guide for the blind. Today the German Shepherd is one of the most popular breeds in the world.
