We all know animal printed scarves, especially those with leopard and cheetah prints, are going to be extra hot this coming fall season. But with so many versions being sold in the market, which one would you spend your money on? They all look the same after all, save for differences in price, size, and material. Take for example, these leopard printed scarves:

Top: Diane Von Furstenberg Cheetah Land Wrap Scarf (Shopbop); Echo Design Leopard Print Scarf Ring (Zappos); Tolani Leopard Print Scarf (ChickDownTown); Kashmere Leopard Print Cashmere Silk Scarf (BlueFly); Echo Design Feminine Feline Scarf (Zappos)

Bottom: YSL Leopard Print Scarf (MyTheresa); YSL Leopard Print Snood (MyTheresa); Kashmere Leopard Print Cashmere Wrap (BlueFly); Echo Leopard Print Ring Scarf (Tobi); We Are Owls Snow Leopard Scarf (Shopbop)

Among the ten choices, which one would you buy? Would you base your choice on type of material? Do you want it to feel as luxe as its price tag? Or would you go for what fits your budget?

Whether you’re buying the very expensive YSL, or the really cheap Echo, what actually matters is you enjoy what you purchased and you wear it with style. Because the reality is that looking good does not always have to be expensive.

Paris and her sister Nicky Hilton had caused quite a stir while the two toured France this past month; that’s from Monte Carlo to St. Tropez to be exact. After all, both sisters, Paris in particular, are quite renowned socialites and fashion figures.

Here’s a picture of the two exiting their Parisian hotel last July 14.

Paris and Nicky Hilton, July 14

As usual, it was Paris who had caught my attention. The heiress probably had a mood for blue that day, hence the outfit and blue LV bag. Despite the blue-ness of it all, the one thing that did quite a job of upping her T-shirt look was the printed blue scarf around her neck. Nice touch!

The scarf by the way, is a Chanel. I have yet to check on the price of that one but I’m sure it is expensive. If getting the look is the idea, you can simply go for these instead:
