Leather Diva

Monday, April 15, 2013






There's just something about leather...especially leather paired with an all-black ensemble. It's flirty, edgy, downtown, uptown, biker, chic, and irresistibly trendy - all in one combination!





Bring on the accessories! 
















Photos by Erin Valentine 
[leather jacket: Forever21, tee shirt: Lucky Brand, skirt: Nordstrom bp, wedges: Target, earrings: Betsey Johnson, necklace: Ann Taylor, watch: Fossil, heart ring: Juicy Couture, heart bracelet: Tiffany & Co., bangles: Alex & Ani, black bracelet: Ann Taylor]

 I refer to this white studded leather jacket as my power piece. It unapologeticly stands out and demands some attention, which is perfect when you're having a feel-good day (or even just a good hair day for that matter). Basically, I'm telling you that my jacket is a diva (gotta love the fierce attitude). And yes, I am personifying my jacket -  sometimes clothes have a personality of their own). However, she never steers me wrong. This leather jacket instantly transforms anything I'm wearing (even boyfriend jeans and a tee), and suddenly I feel put-together and maybe even...on top of the world. I could fight crime in this baby and look fabulous doing it!

What item in your closet makes you standout and provides instant polish to any look? Ladies (and gents), it's time to embrace your power pieces!

    you look so lovely. I agree that the outfit embodies everything but still so you. The jacket looks like a great find from F21, how's the quality? I love your pics too.
