Style Spectator: leather

Today was just another day - drastic sleep in, lazing around and shopping, and I came across yet another shoe shop, and noticed that the majority of shoes on offer were ankle boots. Now I've always been a mega fan, but just when exactly did everyone else become one too? Because I went shopping for longer boots with a decent heel (NOT a kitten one!) and there was absolutely no variety!

So have ankle boots been so popular for a while overseas? Because Australia always gets trends last (which is really annoying, as you could guess), and all of a sudden they're EVERYWHERE. Which is good, because that means more variety and generally lower prices due to competition increases, but now it's as if everyone has the same pair!

To show you what I mean, here are the styles that I've ben seeing and hearing (does that make sense?) around, and some other prettier, more colourful versions. Enjoy, and hope you all had a fabulous Monday!

Crushing on these shoes SO MUCH!!!

Does anyone else get that familiar feeling at the start of Fall, where you look outside and think 'I cannot be bothered dressing up today'? That feeling where you just become so lazy that you don't even feel like getting out of bed, let alone directing an outfit? Well ladies, hit that snooze button and get that extra sleep, because new Fall trends are set to make these months a lot more relaxed.
Understated luxury is back, and in a season of minimalism, pieces with texture can go a long way. Everything is coming out leather and it's just about as sophisticated as it gets. With such a broad variety to choose from, you have the freedom to select pieces that tickle your fancy. Adore leather pants? Rock them. Have a soft spot for pencil skirts in soft leather? Flaunt it. Make this season fun and all about you!
If you're more rebellious, there's the leather dress, white T-shirt and eternally sexy leather shorts. For those with more of a feminine side, pretty pieces to soften up the tough look of leather, like silky blouses with leather pants is always a favourite.

If you're the type that wants to REALLY stand out, try leather mixed with lace, which is a big trend on the runway, but definitely not one for the faint-hearted.

Tip: make sure to buy leather in shades of black, brown and tan. No other colours. End of discussion.

Doma, which is an exclusive Argentinian brand, have been proclaimed to be at the forefront on the leather jacket trend, with beautiful, classical colours like black and tan. This fashionable brand of leather is as soft as it comes and it looks amazing with practically anything, especially platform heels, wedges and faded jeans.
