fashion files // the leather dress

Would you rock the leather dress trend?

At first look, it seemed a bit much for me. 

But, I love the way the leather was softened in the top left image 

with a chambray shirt, fur vest and flats. Makes it seem so everyday attainable.

And then there's Olivia. Oh, she's amazing.

I'm drawn to classic colors like brown or black, but a rich burgundy or yellow would be stunning.

For those of you daring enough to rock this look, here are some fabulous options:

fashion files // leather sleeves

I've recently decided this one of my absolute favorite trends of the season...leather sleeves. Adds just the right amount of sophisticated edge to blazers and even t-shirts. To say I'm loving it, might be an understand because I'm seriously obsessed. (no seriously, that's the most overused style blogger word, ever.) But I've just yet to meet an item of clothing with leather sleeves that I didn't like!

In other news, I am just so excited that Fall is here! That's really no news though. It seems the weather down South missed the memo, as our temps have still be in the 90s. But that hasn't stopped me from decorating with pumpkins and wearing my boots (around the house...) Work and life are catching up with me big time, it seems I'm always running. And I have been quick to just let some (big) things just go lately. Sometimes a girl just needs a break, no? I'm happy as a clam though and soaking up the good times.

Wishing you a wonderful day!

{fashion files} lusting for leather

Leather is one of my must-have essentials for Fall, well a caramel-colored leather jacket to be exact. 

But it got me thinking, there are so many other luxurious leather pieces I would love to add to my collection this season.  

Just a few, hand-selected items would really add a touch of edge and sophistication to my wardrobe.

Peplum and leggings are top of my list!

Isn't that leather peplum top amazing?! And the price...perfect!

What other leather items are you lusting after?
