I’ve been a fan of the wardrobe staple leather motorcycle (abbreviation Moto) jacket for as long as I can remember. Among the absolute favorites in my closet is my beloved Vakko moto that I purchased more than 10 years ago and spent a small fortune on BUT the leather was “like butter” and all these years later it still stands the test of time. If I can advise you on purchasing one item that you can wear year after year with a plethora of fashion possibilities I urge you to buy a leather or faux leather moto jacket. You will thank me in the morning and for many morning to come.

My Vakko Moto..
Still…. “like butter”

Not a fan of “Basic Black” try a neutral tone…think taupe/grey/brown.

Keep on the lookout (and just between you and I this won’t be hard) for the leather pencil skirt for Fall 2014. It is going to be big-well not big in size because let’s face it a pencil skirt looks perfect on every size and shape but the key to looking fabulous is fit.  Yes beautiful Glamour Girls -FIT in fashion is the secret to every woman looking stylish. There is going to be a lot of leather to wear out there this Fall and vegan or faux  leather can look just as lux as the real thing.

Lovingg.g.g.g. these fabulous Murphey Leather Flats by Steve Madden for Spring. So soft and supple on your feet and available in a pretty palette of colors. If that isn’t reason enough to like these flats then the price should send you skipping  (wait for it) $59.95. Yes you are reading that right…

Leather has been a major trend for the last several seasons. I have to admit I had a hard time wrapping my head around leather for Summer but when it comes to wearing leather for Fall…sign me up! I am loving the wide assortment of Leather dresses (both real and faux) at the current Nordstom Anniversary sale. Here are a few of my favs (all available at various price points). Photo above (Alexander McQueen available at Nordstrom-$3,495.00. .

Alice and Olivia Cheyenne Leather Peplum $995.00

Halogen Dress $198.90 was $298.00

Betsy Johnson Laser Cut Faux Fit Dress $129.00

Vince Camuto Seamed Faux Leather Sheath was $128.00 now $84.90

Allot has happened in the four years since Jason Wu  first gained national attention. Most of us became aware of this wonderful designer when he burst onto the fashion scene(literally overnight). ..Jason Wu was “THE DESIGNER” chosen to create a gown for First Lady Michelle Obama. I am sure you remember THAT gown-one shoulder, beautifully draped and with the most feminine  of detailing. Anywho-Fast forward to last weeks showing of Jason Wu’s Spring 2013 Collection. Mr. Wu has evolved and clearly feels comfortable pushing the envelope with a collection filled with lots and lots of leather, lace and more than a few looks sporting bare midriffs. I don’t know if the more revealing attire is something that our First Lady will be sporting but I will say Mr. Wu has definitely found his own point of view.
