Skinny jeans and OTK boots featured in a local magazine

The current issue of one of our local magazines did a fashion feature on denim and featured this great pic of skinny jeans tucked into over-the-knee boots. 

I especially like how the boots have sexy heels, but practical stacked heels that should be easier to walk in than spiky heels.  I just wish they would have mentioned the brand name / model of the boots as I'd be curious to track down and price this style.

Best ad campaign ever?!

Kudos to the art design team at Fernando Berlin, a German maker of high-quality thigh-high boots and long leather gloves.  They seem to have captured a very popular leather fantasy, as in being seduced by a gorgeous woman wearing a mask, catsuit, long black leather gloves, and stiletto thigh-high boots.



Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, I went to the website and found out there's a video and the photo shoot revolves around a lap dance while being handcuffed to a chair.  Sigh...

Lanvin long black leather gloves make an impressive appearance on ABC's "Revenge"

Although I don't watch the ABC tv show "Revenge," I got a glimpse of some impressive long black leather gloves during one of the previews for an episode which just aired featuring a masquerade ball. As it turns out, the character played by Madeleine Stowe wears them very well and ABC has been good enough to post several great stills from the episode online.  Although the fit was tight for my taste, I was curious who the designer was, and the website WornOnTV.net indicates they're Lanvin long lambskin gloves, priced at $1,083 at Net-a-Porter, or on clearance in green only for $528 at Neiman Marcus.  I've also seen leather opera gloves in a very similar style by Carolina Amato for $200-$300.





 As an added bonus, earlier in the show, another character, Ashley, wore a coral-colored leather dress by The Row, $3,390 at Bergdorf Goodman.
