Starts with Inspiration: Leather-sleeved trench

Feminine shape? Check. Edgy leather detail? Check. The leather-sleeved trench is a refreshing take on the classic coat that is ubiquitous on every fashionista's wardrobe essentials list.  With versions by Burberry, Rag and Bone, and ASOS, there is also no shortage of options ranging from luxe to cheap-and-chic. My personal favourite is the Mackage version pictured above. At half the price of the luxe versions but still boasting genuine lamb leather and Mackage's signature asymmetrical shape, it's still a decadent indulgence nonetheless, but that of course is all a matter of perspective.

Starts with with a leather top...

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend!

I love, love, love leather details. I think they add a great unexpected twist to pieces, and really helps add some edge. This green faux-leather sweater is currently one of my favourite pieces and it can be worn dressed-down for weekends, or paired with wool cropped dress pants for work. The plain front lends itself well to adding a statement necklace, but the leather detail also works well on its own.

For this particular weekend I paired it with a geometric statement necklace and a slim leather jacket. This jacket has actually been a staple in my wardrobe for a number of years. Its clean lines complemented by its eye-catching stitching helps keep it timeless while being chic.

I can't wait to find more ways to wear leather this season!

Starts with leather and stripes...

Year after year, nothing seems more right for brisk Fall day than a great leather jacket. Paired with eye-catching stripes in a cozy knit and leopard smoking slippers (another attempt at mixing patterns!), this classic from last season has been reinvented.
