My Favorite Pages - ELLE - November 2012

It's not saying much when the "leather highlight" in ELLE consists of a series of fur ads that have a great vintage 1980s look to them.



A knee-length fur coat paired with a turtleneck, wide black leather belt, and nicely matching leather skirt makes for a very sophisticated, luxury look. All that's missing is the knee-high boots!



Bare shoulders and arms stay warm with this nice pairing of a fur stole and opera-length leather gloves.



Again, a very nice pairing of a fur stole withlong leather gloves. The jewelry (big bracelet and pinky ring) worn over the gloves is also a nice touch.




This black leather shirtdress from Michael Kors is anything but basic. The goldtone buttons on the shoulders as well as the optional goldtone belt accent it very nicely. This piece would look great worn in early fall with strappy sandals or later in the season with some sexy over-the-knee boots.



This Hollywood edition of ELLE featured this one photo of actress Susan Sarandon in a Valentino black leather trench coat. The coat appears to be floor length and I wish we could have seen more from this photo shoot.

My Favorite Pages - Vogue - October 2012

It's hard to believe that for an issue of Vogue where fall leather fashion should be more prominent, I only found one photo / ad worth sharing!
Come on Vogue, you can do better!



I really like the overall simplicity of this Bottega Veneta ad, although the real reason it's here is because of the super-slouchy black leather gloves!

My new "most wanted" boots!

6pm.com has these gorgeous Joan & David "Selya" boots for $192.06.  Everything I look for in a black leather dress boot - quality leather, straight shaft, and sexy stiletto heels!  Since they don't have them in my size, it sure would be nice to find a pair that fits on eBay, maybe even for less money!

These boots already look great paired with skinny jeans and would work equally well paired with a pencil skirt.  Enjoy!
