It’s zebra, zebra everywhere, and I can’t say I’m hating it. When I was a kid, I dreamed of being a fashion designer, and the first line I sketched was all zebra print and red. In the ensuing years, I’ve owned zebra purses, shoes, a bikini and zebra-cuffed cropped jeans (don’t ask—it was the late ’90s), and I even re-upholstered a thrift-store chair in fuzzy zebra fabric in college.

So I get a kick out of the zebra sports bras and bows I see at cheer competitions, and I wanted to share the cute new striped stuff I’ve seen (and coveted) this season.

Why splurge for a professional manicure when you get these for less than five bucks at the drugstore? While they might not be approved for game day, I love these Pink by Kiss Pink Zebra Sticker Nails ($4.99, beautyonlinesupply.com). There’s no glue needed, and they’re easy to remove with a good soak in warm water.

I’m in love with this Modella Classic Zebra Four Piece Train Set ($12.84, Walmart). I’m always on the road traveling from competition to competition, and these handy compartments help keep my beauty products organized (plus there’s no mess if anything spills!).

At $3 a pack, these BA Star Glitter Stickers ($1, bastar.com) are just too much fun. These would look so fierce on competition day, but they’d also make a black tank and jeans look even hotter on a Saturday night.

Remember the chair I said I covered in my college days? Well, this is the same idea but a hundred times more fabulous. This Dolce Lounge Chair ($159.99, Target) would look super cute in a brightly colored room (or a cheer gym lobby!).

Oh, Keds, how I love you. These Keds Champion Animal Print $40, Zappos) slip-ons are oh-so comfy, and they would look just right with a pair of jeans or even tights and a solid-color dress come fall.

 I’d stash my driver’s license and a little cash in this Dooney and Burke Small Coin Case ($45, dooneyandbourke.com) then toss it in any handbag I own. Imagine pulling this little piece of fabulousness out of everything from a vintage tote to your cheer bag.

With just a touch of zebra trimming, this Chassé I Love Cheerleading Bag ($14.99, Chassé) is just too much fun. Who doesn’t love sequins, glitter and hearts? I dare you to wear this at your next competition—you’ll be stopped on the street by people asking where you got it.
