One of the biggest trends this coming fall, and even this summer, is leather. Whether its genuine leather, or pleather, this trend is here to stay. This material is popular not only as a bag or staple jacket, but as detailing in sweaters, pants, dresses and anything else, you name it. Having leather iPhone cases is even trendy now...because, of course, who doesn't have an iPhone these days (excluding people in finance who think Blackberries are cooler, I mean more useful...).
The first look revolves around this gorgeous Nicole Miller Kendall Dress.The side ruching creates a fitted look that hugs and accentuates the waistline–something all women can appreciate. The cowl neck is also a unique detail of the dress, but the best part of it (and reason why it's included in this post) is the leather trimming on the shoulders. Because of the heavy pattern of the dress, over accessorizing can weaken this dress rather than enhance it and make a complete outfit of it. Because of this, we stuck with simple, yet eye catching, earrings, cocktail ring, and necklace. We also added a fun bracelet that still maintains a delicate feel. Finally, an MZ Wallace over-the-shoulder bag to carry everything, or you can switch it out for a more elegant clutch for a night out.
Who doesn't love a cozy sweater for the fall? Especially with a dark wash jean. In the second outfit shown, we chose a DV by Dolce Vita marled sweater that has perhaps not the most practical pockets on the front, but who cares about practicality when the pockets are trimmed with [faux] leather. The leather continues, once again, on the shoulder. For the cooler days when a sweater just one cut it, we paired a Gracia suede-like moto jacket that is extremely soft and warm for the fall. To add color to this monotone outfit, a fun colored scarf or belt can do the trick. To top it all off, we chose simple gold accessories like this gold and clear TKO watch and easy bangles.
