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.




Hmmm...maybe I need to give "Xanadu" a try.  Lots of sexy tall black leather boots in this dance number!


Now, that's a magazine cover!







  
Stunning in a full-length belted leather trench and white scarf or turtleneck!  And that hair!


Finally, some nice longer-length leather gloves from the "Twist of Fate" video.

Happy Birthday, Tina Fey!

Happy 45th Birthday to Tina Fey!  Although she doesn't wear leather very often, she looks great when she does, whether it's boots, leggings, pants, or even a daring leather top.

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.

My Favorite Pages - ELLE - September 2012

Great Gucci ad featuring some very nice tall black leather boots!



There's lots of leather to like on this page! It also shows how much of a trend black leather will be this fall fashion season.




And if black leather is too tough a look, both jackets and pants come in a range of beautiful colors.



These leather pants appear to have been styled after your favorite sweatpants...and just as comfortable!



The detail work on this Ralph Lauren leather jacket is stunning. And to me, "price on request" means it's going to be unaffordable for most people.



Leather tops, like this one from Banana Republic, appear to be a prominent trend this season, along with leather dresses.



The black leather trench coat and tall black leather boots are one of my absolute favorite fall / winter looks. The only thing missing is matching gloves!



The wide black leather belt and shiny gauntlet gloves make this outfit a little too "superhero" for me, but I do like the style of the gauntlet gloves.



Like the Gucci ad at the beginning of this post, this leather purse is almost upstaged by sexy long black leather gloves, leather pants, and tall boots!

Fur and leather look so good together!

Our local society magazine featured an auction for this Blackgama full-length mink coat. It looks great paired with the black leather stiletto boots and matching black leather gloves.


This got me to thinking how great the right fur can look paired with some really nice leather. Talk about a luxurious look!

Love this belted chincilla jacket paired with black leather pants and black suede over-the-knee boots!


Some more great fur looks paired with leather pants.

eBay promoting leather pants on its home page

I found it very interesting that eBay is promoting leather pants as part of their fall fashion feature. If leather pants are really "in" again this season, it's news to me. Other than skinny real leather pants, which are often overpriced, it would definitely be nice to see classy leather jeans make a return again this season.

I also found eBay's recommendation about "for a dose of rock and roll at the office" interesting. My question is "Have you ever worn leather pants to work?" If so, what did you pair them with and what kind of reaction did you get from your co-workers?

Eliza Dushku in leather pants and boots

An episode of the cancelled Fox series "Dollhouse" featured Eliza Dushku opening a safe wearing tight black leather pants tucked into spiky black leather OTK boots.

More great Spiegel looks

Spiegel continues to show some great leather looks this season.


Great use of accessories here with the tube scarf (tempting on sale for $19!) and long purple leather gloves.


Although the model looks angry, the jacket looks great accessorized with the long black leather gloves and clutch purse.


Black leather pants - need I say more?


Love the use of bold-colored accessories here - the bright blue tube scarf and the long purple leather gloves clutching a bright yellow wallet.


Long black leather gloves holding an envelope clutch - nice.


Love the bold color and nice scrunch on these long purple leather gloves.


Hate the faux fur cape - love the gloves!


The belted black leather blazer-style jacket has long been one of my favorite looks.


The tight chocolate brown leather jeans look great accessorized with strappy sandals.

FAVORITE LOOKS: White House | Black Market

Although I've never been a big fan of White House | Black Market, they're showing some great leather looks this season.

Yet another retailer carrying long leather gloves. These elbow-length leather gloves ($98) have potential, but the attached rhinestone ring pattern is not appealing at all to me. Still, the black leather gloves and the matching sash belt really set off the red crepe suit.




For the more daring, WHBM also offers some very nice slim lambskin leather pants ($248). They also look great paired with a tweed jacket and stiletto-heeled sandals.
