Chanel 2016-2017 Fall/Winter campaign features lots of long, elaborate black leather gloves

Happened to glance through the Fall Fashion issue of inStyle magazine at the store last night and the ad that really caught my eye was Chanel's new ad campaign featuring lots of elaborate long leather gloves.

Although I'm sure they'll be out of my price range, I especially like the style which zips up the side.

Fortunately, a New York Model Management blog has posted the entire ad campaign here!

Happy Birthday, Eva Green!

Happy 36th Birthday to actress, Eva Green!  Although I haven't seen much of her work, this sultry brunette with those piercing eyes can pull off some very nice leather looks.

New Stuart Weitzman boot campaign makes Yahoo! Style

As a big fan of Stuart Weitzman boots for their style and comfort, it was exciting to see the brand featured on Yahoo! Style today.  Even more exciting is that it features supermodel Gisele Bundchen in some super tall 28" suede thigh-high boots appropriated named ALLLEGS!

I also did not know that Stuart Weitzman had been acquired by Coach earlier this year - another company that has made some very nice tall boots!

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.

Kate Upton accepts People's "Sexiest Woman Alive" in what else? Black leather!

So if you're Kate Upton and accepting People's "Sexiest Woman Alive" Award, how better to dress for the occasion than rocking a hot black leather outfit and stiletto pumps!

Although I saw a reference to it being a "leather pencil dress," I'm not so sure.  The top, which is amazing, has a real lambskin-sheen to it while the skirt has more of a matte, print look to it.  Of course, we may never know if it's dress or leather top and skirt because she's wearing a wide black leather belt - also very hot!

A quick search reveals that this is not the first time Ms. Upton has rocked a Leather Look, such as what's definitely a leather dress at some kind of GQ event.

And while we're at it, here are a few bonus looks at Ms. Upton rocking some great Leather Looks, including leather skirts, jackets, thigh-high boots, and long leather gloves!

Some nice long black leather gloves from a UK retailer

I was looking around online for some deals on long leather gloves and came across this 2013 article from UK retailer Black Co. with five different ways to pair long leather gloves.  They range from the traditional pairing with a little black dress to a surprising "grown up biker" look.

These very nice gloves measure about 24.5" and will set you back about $172 at today's conversion rate.

I was also intrigued by this very cool style featuring a diagonal zipper.  These measure 17" long.

I don't know about where you are, but it's definitely "long leather glove" weather where I am.  Stay warm and in style!
