About

Hello and welcome! We’re Gemma and Hannah, co-founders of The Leopard.

We met back in 2012 whilst working at LOOK magazine (Gemma on the Fashion News desk and Hannah on the Online desk) and bonded over a shared love of cheap prosecco and oversized statement necklaces. Remember them?

Since then, we’ve worked across Marie Claire, InStyle, Women’s Health and Metro. Hannah launched her award-winning blog and Gemma became a personal trainer, and between us, we’ve had three babies (with a fourth due in 2021!).

We launched The Leopard because we wanted to create a digital destination that combined all the things we’d chat about with our friends via Whatsapp. A place where you’re able to find out about the most exciting Aldi Special Buys and new Tony’s Chocolonely flavours, whilst also reading about everything from mental illness and midi dresses to crime documentaries and C-sections. You’ll find fashion, beauty, wellness, lifestyle and captivating first-person pieces. We want The Leopard to be your “me time”, whether it’s a quick news fix in the morning, a sleepy scroll during night feeds or a long read while you soak in the bath.

Look out for our ‘Leopard List’ on Instagram stories once a fortnight – a round-up of some of our favourite high street fashion finds – and The Leopard newsletter launching later in 2020.

We’re proud of what we’ve created and we hope you enjoy it too.

Thanks for visiting us, we can’t wait to see you again soon xo

New feature today all about our love of Instagram’s favourite interior trend - the half wall. Perfect for kids bedrooms, grown-up bedrooms and living rooms galore. So here, have another photo of the kid’s bedroom (because we’re yet to decorate most rooms in the house 😅 and this one is conveniently a prime example of the infamous half paint job). This is @littlegreenepaintcompany Yellow Pink 🌼🌻✨⭐️ I’ve also included some of our other fave bits of inspo from across Instagram - including dreamy interiors from @charminglifebyjess @renovating_the_broadway @gemellisx and @katespiers 😍😍😍
I may have been a fashion editor for a decade, but I may have been a fashion editor for a decade, but I definitely lost my style mojo after baby no.1 (if I’m honest, two years later I’m still trying to find it) 
Lockdown, wearing gym kit for work and not wanting to spend money on maternity clothes I’ll only wear for a few months has meant wardrobe options have been relatively limited this pregnancy, but actually, that’s made life easier. Dungarees are my go-to - these @newlook cord ones have seen me through both pregnancies, my two besties through theirs and even survived an unfortunate ripping incident during the “birthing positions” part of my NCT course 🤣 Adding in a non-maternity top that still fits over bump (I managed to do up about 3 buttons on this @ganni one) is an easy way to make maternity wear feel a bit more “you”. Along with these dungarees and a denim pair I found on @ebay_uk, I’ve lived in @newlook’s leggings - the only ones I could find that didn’t go opaque - @topshop straight maternity jeans (RIP) @hm Mama gym leggings and a couple of dresses from my first pregnancy - mostly @asos maternity or @zara sized up. My maternity wardrobe tips? Look for dresses with easy boob access that you can wear post-pregnancy (I totally failed on this first time round 🤦🏻‍♀️) check out maternity rental sites like @for.the.creators (we have a post on this on site) or shop second hand on @ebay_uk @depop or Facebook marketplace. What are your maternity must-buys?
Just a cheeky bit of midweek nail inspo to either Just a cheeky bit of midweek nail inspo to either copy at home or save for THAT trip to the nail salon in April. You might have noticed in stories that my nails are completely bare at the moment - I had my last set of gels done in October (bright red in case you were wondering). I did a home removal job and tried to wing it through December with a couple of costs of a cheap festive glitter polish but it kept flaking off the same day I painted them 😅 I haven’t bothered using the at-home gel set I have because #twokids but LORD ALMIGHTY will I be glad to look at my hands and see a bright, shiny rainbow mani looking back at me 😭🙌🏼🌈 Hannah x
