IT MAY SEEM A LITTLE IRONIC FOR A VEGAN TO BE SO UTTERLY OBSESSED WITH LEATHER. BUT I CAN'T DENY HOW SEXY IT IS. IT'S BEEN AROUND FOREVER, BUT I FEEL THERE HAS BEEN A REVIVAL IN THE WAY LEATHER IS WORN. ITS NOT JUST FOR THE BRAVE IN FASHION AND YOU DONT HAVE TO OWN A MOTORCYCLE TO JUSTIFY HEAD TO TOE LEATHER ON LEATHER.
NOT ONLY IS LEATHER MORE ATTAINABLE IN EVERYDAY STYLING, IT IS BEING REWORKED INTO SOME AMAZING CREATIONS THAT BRANCH OUT FROM YOUR USUAL RUN-OF-THE-MILL LEATHER JACKET (THOUGH THIS IS OF COURSE STILL A FASHION STAPLE).
EMBOSSED LEATHER, LEATHER DRESSES, TEXTURED LEATHER, ASYMMETRICAL SKIRTS, TRACK PANTS, AND EVEN FULL LENGTH LEATHER OVERALLS (AS SEEN ON THE EQUALLY AMAZING ALEXANDRA SPENCER HERE). ALL THIS ONLY INCREASES MY OBSESSION MORE.
AND HEY, YOU NEED NOT BREAK YOUR BANK FOR ALL THINGS LEATHER LIKE. THANKFULLY WHEN YOU SHOP AROUND YOU CAN FIND PLENTY OF PRETTY GOOD FAUX-LEATHER THAT, WHEN WORN RIGHT, CAN GIVE YOU THAT EXPENSIVE LOOK WITHOUT THE PRICE TAG.
SOME LEATHER LOVES OF MINE:

THAT'S ALL FROM ME FOR NOW. I HAVE SOME EXCITING PROJECTS IN THE WORKS AT THE MOMENT, SO I CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU. I PROMISE THERE WILL BE SOME MORE PHOTOSHOOTS UP SOON TOO!
UNTIL NEXT TIME!
P.S. HOW HOT IS BAMBI'S NEW SHOOT WITH HER FIANCE DAN FOR V MAGAZINE? um, WOW.
