Happy 70th Birthday, Olivia Newton-John!

A belated Happy 70th Birthday to Olivia Newton-John who turned 70 on September 26.

Although I was never a big fan of her music (especially "Physical"), it's safe to say I had a crush on her growing up in the 70s.

The sexy black leather and spandex outfit she wore as Sandy in "Grease" was just one of many great "leather looks" she pulled off!

Still stunning in a long black leather dress as recently as 2011!  Not sure about those boots, though.

Target's new "Prologue" line has a lot to like, even faux leather!


I'm seriously grooving on Target's new Prologue line of women's clothing.  While I'm normally not a fan of faux leather, I have to hand it to Target for creating some trendy leather looks at affordable prices.




This faux leather dress can be worn as a dress or as a jumper.  It's only available in olive and a fashion steal at $39.99.



This long sleeve tie-waist jumpsuit in basic black is $39.99.


The perfect office look of blouse, a pencil skirt, and a faux leather jacket.  The satin-look blouse is $24.99, the jacket is $39.99 and the pencil skirt is $22.99.  I'd change this up with some black heels or boots.






Back to the faux leather, these cropped pants might be my favorite piece of the entire collection.  These $34.99 pants would also look trendy paired with black suede boots.



I've been a sucker for a good jumper for decades, and this one is no exception.  This wide leg jumper is a deal at $29.99.  Again, I'd pair it with boots.


Another all around great look, especially the faux suede pencil skirt for $27.99.  The jaquard tweed overcoat is only $49.99, Again, boots!



The faux leather baseball-style jacket is very versatile at only $39.99.


Finally, there's even a short sleeve faux leather shirt in gray for $24.99.  I'm not really a fan of this look, but apparently someone is.


Kudos to Target for a very impressive line with Prologue.  I can't wait to get to a store to see what some of these pieces, especially those faux leather crop pants, look like in person!

Happy 28th Birthday, Jennifer Lawrence!

This talented actress graced us earlier this year as a sexy Russian spy in "Red Sparrow."

Red Sparrow Dominika Egorova Jacket

Black leather jacket, turtleneck, beret, sunglasses, and gloves! Now this a look even I can pull off!



She also rocks a leather dress really well!

Finally, looking stunning in a military-styled blazer, silk top, leather skirt, and velvet thigh-high boots.

Always fashionable! On Thursday Jennifer Lawrence once again demonstrated her unique sartorial style as she attended a screening for her new movie Red Sparrow in Washington, D.C.

Candace Cameron...all grown up and in black leather!

Today's announcement that the late 1980s sitcom "Full House" is returning on Netflix somehow brought several posts on Facebook.  Of course, the one featuring series star Candace Cameron Bure in a sleeveless white top and black leather pants was the one that got my attention!


The sleeveless white top and black leather pants seems like such a simple look to put together, yet it's so sexy!  A great date look to transition from summer into fall or winter into spring!

Of course, this isn't the first time we've seen Candace rocking some great Leather Looks.

Here she is on the red carpet sporting a nice black leather dress.


Finally, a nice studio shot where she appears to be wearing Stuart Weitzman 50/50 over-the-knee boots.

Angelina Jolie rocks a full-length black leather gown at "Maleficent" premiere


Angelina Jolie has shown that she knows how to rock the black leather look for years now.  She continued that trend in a stunning full-length black leather gown by Versace.  Very likely custom-made, I'd be very curious what this weighs and what it cost!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2642384/Angelina-Jolie-weaves-magic-black-leather-gown-Maleficent-Hollywood-premiere-Brad-Pitt-spell.html

Personally, I'm more a fan of the "little black leather dress" such as this one she wore to the "Inglorious Basterds" premiere...


...but if anyone can pull off the "full leather gown" look, it's Angie!  She wore a similar, but more form-fitting full-length leather dress to the premiere of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith."


However, my personal favorite "leather look" is the classic white silk blouse paired with a black leather skirt and pumps, all by Ferragamo. Love the hair, too!  This is a look I would actually try wearing!

Nordstrom Pre-Fall Sale is just around the corner!

One of the first signs of Fall, at least fashion-wise, is Nordstrom's anniversary (pre-fall) sale.  Since I'm not a Nordstrom card holder, I can't check out the preview sale this week, but I'm looking forward to it next week.

However, Nordstrom is already teasing me with ads in my browser for their Miss Wu collection. While the collection features several nice leather pieces, like leggings, skirts and dresses, I was intrigued by the models wearing long leather gloves nicely scrunched to the elbows.


I love the text which accompanies this above photo: Take your jacket off, but leave your protective-yet-pretty accessories on when you get inside. These sleek, leather gloves deserve a lot more play time than just during your commute.


Even though the weather is just now heating up where I live, it's nice to think about cooler Fall days a few months from now!
