When the Shop Tart was in college, she had the most awesome coat. It was vintage faux leopard and it looked real. It had a shawl collar, three quarter length bell sleeves and was verrah, verrah swingy. And, ooooh, it was lined with caramel colored silk. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite survive all the wear and tear of bar hopping and moshing. Which is a shame, because animal prints are back, on everything from handbags to sofas.

On a visit to Tullulah and LaRoque yesterday, the Shop Tart met Mims Creed Goza, director of the Palmetto Health Foundation’s Children’s Miracle Network. She was busy collecting donations for the Festival of Trees. The Shop Tart will get around to telling you more about that in a moment, because first she wants to talk about Mims’ adorable coat. She’s wearing animal print in just the right way, with plenty of neutral color so it it stands out. She found her coat at the Clothes Tree in Camden. And the Shop Tart loves her patent leather wedges…

If you aren’t quite brave enough yet and you need to work up to rocking the animal prints, why not start with lingerie? Kristy has plenty of animal prints in stock, from cheetah to leopard!

Now, on to the Festival of Trees! Mims sent the following information:

The holidays will kick off with Palmetto Health Foundation’s 20th Annual Festival of Trees November 21-23 at the new freestanding Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital located at 7 Medical Park, Palmetto Health Richland, in Columbia. The weekend long event showcases decorated trees, wreaths, tabletop trees, centerpieces and garlands that are all available for bid. Cookies for Santa platters painted by current and former patients of Children’s Hospital will also be featured silent auction items.

Auction items can be previewed at the gala on Friday, November 21, 6:30-10 p.m. and secured at the special gala take home price that evening. Tickets are $125. Festival of Trees will open to the public Saturday, November 22, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, November 23, noon-4 p.m. at no charge.

Sounds like fun!
