In case you haven't noticed, zebra print is having a moment. From rugs to cushions to fashion, the famous, fabulous print has, is or will adorn almost anything. But just like the new black - what hasn't been the new black? - zebra must hang up its King of the Homewares crown eventually. It was handed it by the leopard a few years ago, so what's next? My guess is giraffe. Well I'm hoping so anyway, cause it's my newest crush and I've already made a few purchases, with a few more on my wishlist. The one common theme here is that they're all baby-related. Hmm, maybe it's the children's version of zebra and leopard? Or maybe it's our way of getting our kids into decor trends and fashion while they're young - after all, giraffes roam freely in great numbers in children's rooms and toyboxes, so it's a good one to start on!

WANT IT: I already have a baby bag - I did get it as a gift, so I could almost justify getting another one...
