Leather fix

When it comes to leather... I find people seem to be a bit scared of it. Yes it can be riskaaay, but played right, leather can the most seductive, sexy stylish fabric going. This season, leather will play a BIG part in the trends, whether worn subtly in the day or upping the anti at night. 

I thought I would have a quick shifty round the high street to give you the best leather buys for AW13!

Cut Out Boots

Leather boots NEVER go out of fashion... they're classic and let's be honest last forever. I wear mine to death. But this year boots have boots have took an alternative twist. They look a bit like old fashioned school shoes, but with more substance to them. I find them quite feminine, which is a nice change to the heavy studded biker boots from last season. Topshop have the best cutout boots this season, with the best cut prices.

Laser cut leather skater dress

For any of you who have read my other blogs, you will know I have used this dress before as an example. But I just LOVE it. It's so beautifully elegant with a twist of vampness and sexability to it. I know it's a little steep, but it's definitely worth it.

Who's Wearing it?

Now I know it's tempting if you've got a hot bod to flaunt all... but trust me this isn't how to nail this trend. In this case more IS less.

These ladies might be HOT but it is waaaaaay too much and sending out the wrong message. It's a NO NO!
