LEATHER TROUSERS

Leather, leather and more leather! There's nothing better than a edgy leather pant to tie an outfit together. I'm an advocate of everything black and leather, and this is one of my favorite pieces for fall. It's perfectly adequate and accommodating to the weather where you're still fashionable and slightly edgy. It's a perfect balance in my opinion! 

Here are some great picks to choose from, even some animal friendly pieces as well!

KATE BOSWORTH TOPSHOP COLLECTION A/W 2013

 

Kate Bosworth's second collaboration collection with Topshop has been unveiled and everything screams minimal chic with immense level of sleek. The actress was shot by her husband, Michael Polish of Bosworth wearing 46 pieces from the collection, show casing the balance of feminine and masculine qualities. This campaign embodies the balance between the two by mixing oversized and fitted pieces. 

Personally, I think it's a fantastic way of a minimalist approach at an affordable price. It's simple, sleek, and cool for any gal for this chilly winter. 

THE LEATHER MOTO

One of the best things you could own in your closet is a great leather motorcycle jacket. It's an easy way to create edge to your feminine or causal outfit. You could be dressed up or dressed down and pair it with a leather bad boy and you're instantly chic (just like that).

If you don't have one yet, definitely invest in one because it's going to be one of your go to pieces this fall/winter. It's the quintessential jacket this upcoming season, so it's absolutely crucial to not only own one, but to find the particular leather jacket to fit your personality and style. It's equivalent to having the quintessential bikini for summer, it's extremely important. So get ready to bundle up with your leather baby (or soon to be)!

Here are leather jackets with a variety of styles and prices:

Balenciaga Leather jacket

Acne Mape leather jacket

Theyskens' Theory 'Jiker' biker jacket

Zara leather jacket

PERSONAL PICK | SWEATER CHIC

I created some personal picks of a sweater chic look that has been seen on the runway countless times this past season. The cropped sweater trend has been a Resort 2014 favorite with Jason Wu's oversized, Calvin Klein's long-sleeve body-con, & The Row's turtleneck cropped sweater. 

This outfit I put together here has a very easy going yet sophisticated feel. It's simple, yet not simple. The colors go together harmoniously and this screams my name over and over again. This is my version of the recent trend...enjoy!
