Leather Weather

Happy humpday lovebugs,

When it's not 4395803 degrees outside I think a great trend for summer is leather. And a company that has really nailed it when it comes to classy leather tops is Tinley Road.

Tinley Road, Vegan Leather Peplum, $49

I love the lines on this peplum. The seam down the middle is just perfect with the notched neckline detail.

Tinley Road, Vegan Leather Muscle Tee, $49

This is stunning. Simple, and easy to accessorize. It also comes in bronze and blue.

Tinley Road, Colored Vegan Leather Tee, $49

How about a sleek white leather tee? Just simple and clean.  Also comes in red, brown, or teal.

Tinley Road, Vegan Leather Racerback Tee, $49

This top is sporty and chic. Tuck it into a high-waisted pencil skirt or simply wear it with a light linen short.

Leather tops or vegan leather in this case, is a very sexy statement piece. And Tinley Road is nailing it, all under $50.

Pouch Perfect

How about a throw everything in bag? How about a classy but easy leather pouch? How about a monogram, or a metallic, or just a simple pastel?

J Crew, Leather Colorblock Pouch, $49

Let's start with the monogram. J Crew does it so well and this lemon clutch is no exception.

Rib & Hull, Violet XL Oversized Pouch, $85

Extra large, extra impact.

Rebecca Minkoff, Pale Coral Leather Message Lissa Wristlet, $59

Originally $95, this pretty pastel is perfect for day or night.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, BCBGMAXAZRIA Carina Leather Foldover, $59

This lime green is so much fun with a great manicure. 

A simple carryall is great for summer nights. Throw it all in and then some. Even a pair of flats.

Sweater Leather

Leather can be scary. But why not soften it by wearing leather with something softer? Like pairing leather with a sweater. Leather trim to be exact.

Nordstrom, Trouve Sweater with Faux-Leather Trim, $53

This slouchy sweater is dressed up with a great neckline that gives some edge to something comfy.

Calvin Klein, Contrast trim chevron lambs-wool sweater, $49

A fabulous 3/4 length sweater from lambswool. A great chevron print with leather trim!

 

 Urban Outfitters, Reformed by the reformation pieced leather sweater, $79

It's hard to see here, but the sleeves have a great leather argyle pattern.

 

  Piperlime, Greylin neo faux leather hi-low pullover, $99

Warm, chic and a touch of leather around the neck!

 

This is my kind of leather. Very subtle. What are you thinking? Big and bold or trimmed and tiny?

Not Catwoman

Today we're departing from my usual prepster and trying something a little dangerous. Leather. Now I know it's July, but stay with me. There is leather out there for warm weather that is super sexy and wearable off the runway.

H&M, Leathertop, $99

Now this fabulous peplum top is sold out in the US for now, but I'm keeping my eye on eBay.

Free People, Rocker Vegan Shorts, $98

Hello short shorts! I'd pair this with a super soft and sheer sleeveless blouse.

Asos, Urban Code Leather Shift, $98

I like this shift because it has a cotton lining, which makes it actually wearable. 

American Apparel, Vintage Leather Skirt, $30

A highwaisted mini pencil. I love the color selection for these!

Have a scared you away? I'm not saying go all catwoman, but add one piece at a time, try it out. Get a little sassy with it.
