Happy 60th Birthday, Cyndi Lauper!

A Happy 60th Birthday to Cyndi Lauper!

Cyndi has always seemed adventurous in her music, personality and sense of style. She rocked some gorgeous black leather opera gloves at the Grammy Awards a few years ago. And her poses show off the gloves perfectly.

Cyndi recently made another splash with her Tony Award win for "Kinky Boots!"

A $3,000 leather turtleneck on eBay

Staying with the previous theme of leather turtlenecks, I was curious to see what was available on eBay.

This stunning Balmain black leather turtleneck top is listed for $2,995.  The gold zippered back and sleeves are a nice touch. 

Too bad it's way out of my price range, as it's my size, a US 12!

Calvin Klein black leather turtleneck top

Although I'm not sure how practical it is, I think this black leather version of a turtleneck top by Calvin Klein is pretty cool.  It's currently part of the Summer Leather grouping at luxury consignment site therealreal.com.  Never mind that "turtleneck" and "summer" and "leather" are pretty much contradictory, this would look great paired with a tweed skirt and boots!

A $60,000 leather jacket?

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of leather jackets.  In fact, I probably have close to ten in my personal collection right now.  And that's not counting long leather coats and trenches!

However, this listing on luxury consignment website therealreal.com really caught my attention.  This Chrome Hearts black leather jacket made of crocodile leather is priced at just under $12,000.  Sorry, those occasional 20-25% off coupons offered don't apply to this item.  Never mind the current price, the original retail price of this jacket was $60,000?!

Do yourself a favor, and if you really have to have a Chrome Hearts leather jacket, there are a couple of similar ones listed on eBay right now.  They're practically deals at $5,000!
