LOVE LEATHER
As the new seasons collections hit the highstreet I’m getting increasingly excited about my new Autumnal wardrobe! This year I’m having a mini love-affair with leather, it’s tough, warm, classic, sexy and absolutely the perfect solution as the temperature drops. Depending on the occasion you can dress it up or down, team with soft fabrics for a more feminine look, knits for an Autumnal vibe, or go all out with zips and ponyskin for a rock chick vibe!
THE DRESS
Everyone needs a LBD, and this Autumn I’ll totally be rocking this {faux} leather number from Warehouse. It’s my birthday in a few weeks time and I think this would be perfect for a night out in London teamed with a killer pair of heels and sparkly statement necklace? BUY HERE
THE LEGGINGS
A little leather goes a long way with these leggings from DKNY. For those not quite brave enough to rock the full leather trouser look, like me, these are a great compromise. BUY HERE
THE SKIRT
A good leather skirt is totally versatile. Pair this mini from French Connection with a cute knit, tights and flats for an everyday look, or add an embellished collar shirt for work days. BUY HERE
THE GLOVES
I know, I know, it’s not winter yet. But there’s nothing like being prepared and I have a feeling French Connection’s ponyskin & leather gloves are going to sell out real quick. Get them while you can! BUY HERE
THE JACKET
I have just purchased this leather jacket from Mango and I am smitten. It’s just right for throwing over just about anything from evening dress to jeans and tee, the collarless look keeps it smart, while the zips add a touch of biker chic. Love. BUY HERE
THE WATCH
I am so in the market for a new watch, and I’ve had my eye on this leather-strapped beauty from Marc by Marc Jacobs for a while. It’s simple, sleek and sophisicated style would go with just about everything. BUY NOW
THE BAG
New season, new bag. It’s the rules, right girls? Ted Baker have got it spot on with this ponyskin / leather beaut! BUY NOW
THE GLASSES
I know what your thinking. Sunglasses and gloves in the same post? But they’re so cool I just couldn’t resist these leather-trimmed sunglasses by Tom Ford. And we can always hope for an Indian Summer, right?! BUY NOW
THE SHOES
Be. Still. My. Beating. Heart. I have a MAJOR crush on these Valentino lovelies. They’ve been rocked by all the trendiest brides this season, but they’re totally suitable for everyday wear. Loving the straps, loving the studs, loving the chic-yet-tough look. I’m saving my pennies for these! BUY NOW
