Long leather gloves at Bloomingdale's
Although they're a little pricey at $198, these 12-button long leather gloves from Bloomingdale's are really appealing. Sadly, they're only currently available in brown and red.
However, if you're going to show these long gloves modeled, don't show them scrunched to the max!

Extreme thigh-high boots - "Kane" by Report Signature.
Under the category of "boot looks I'll never be able to pull off" come these very memorable "Kane" boots by Report Signature. First of all, they're not new, and in fact, I found a 2009 photo shoot on YouTube featuring them. However, I'm not sure if I've ever featured them on this blog before. And they're definitely blog-worthy!
The fact that these have straps at the top of the shafts that allow a belt to be attached remind me of vintage "Wild Pair" chap boots. For the record, I've tried those and found I'm not leggy enough to pull off the look. If I could pull this look off, I'm thinking it would be fun to debut them at a Halloween party paired with a catsuit for a very sexy Catwoman costume.
Below is the aforementioned photo shoot video. Oh, and the long black leather gloves are a VERY nice addition to an already incredible look!
Another nice, but short, video of these boots strutting!

Female news anchor exclaims, "Get out the boots!"
I happened to catch the end of our local newscast tonight
when the weatherman was showing the forecast for the end of this week.
When he said that next Friday night's forecast was for a low of 46
degrees, the female anchor exclaimed, "Get out the boots!" I'm pretty sure the female anchor meant
fashion boots. I couldn't agree more!

Opera gloves - one of the Top 10 Trends at the 2014 Met Gala
I've long had a weakness for long, opera-length gloves, especially when they're black leather. Opera gloves were listed as one of the top 10 trends at the 2014 Met Gala. It goes without saying that Karlie Kloss' look is by far my favorite! They pair beautifully with her tapestry gown by Oscar de la Renta.

FASHIONANDCOOKIES.COM - another great fashion blog with a style that I really admire!
I stumbled across this fashion blog recently, fashionandcookies.com, and really liked some of the looks this woman put together. Classy yet she mixes pieces so creatively! I thought I'd share a few of my favorites here.
My favorite look comes first. While I really like the orange cardigan and the slouchy black beanie from Asos, it's the over-the-knee boots that really make this outfit. She stated that the boots were from B and H and from what I can find, they're from this Italian retailer called B and H Shoes. Simply stunning!
Again with the same beautiful B and H boots, but this time paired with a whimsical print skirt. I also thought that the top part of her outfit really lent itself to some long leather gloves.
A very tailored skirt suit look accented with some nice jewelry to accentuate the turtleneck and accessorized very nicely with a large black leather bag and black leather knee-high boots.
A cozy-looking whimsical sweater pairs nicely with skinny jeans and these very rich-looking suede boots. The beret, gloves, and big red bag accessorize this look beautifully!
Another whimsical sweater looks great paired with black leather-look leggings, ankle boots, and a nice envelope clutch purse.
I've always thought it's hard to go wrong with a classic style jumper dress and knee-high boots!
A great take on the classic "black leather jacket and jeans" look. The stocking cap, scarf, and large bag are great accent pieces, too.

Nice "leather look" in Yahoo! article on luggage
This recent article on "The Luggage Police Are Watching..." caught my attention more for the nice stock photo used than the actual article content.
A tight brown leather jacket AND over-the-knee boots. Not sure how practical is it for travel, especially removing that tight jacket and tall boots to go through security, but the tight leather jacket and skinny jeans tucked into OTK boots is one of my current favorite looks!

I rediscover a favorite fashion blog!
I recently rediscovered one of my favorite fashion blogs, lovemaegan.com
Besides the fact that she is just gorgeous, she puts together some incredible looks This page features one of my favorites: http://www.lovemaegan.com/2011/02/and-i-found-it-there-in-your-heart.html
The long cardigan sweater paired with a turtleneck, jeans, and over-the-knee boots is one of my favorite cool weather looks! I have to admit, the boots are real stunners, and she indicates they're by Matiko and the style name is "Cadie." No longer available via the regular retail channels, I bet a pair shows up on eBay now and then!
She also has these boots in taupe!
