As the weather cools down (and especially as the holidays approach) everything warm and traditional suddenly becomes even more appealing than usual. I crave all the classics and want only soft, cozy textures close to the skin. It’s time to retire my oversized steel watch (just for a bit), and pick up one of these gorgeous pieces.

Do you crave the classics in the fall and winter? Is it more “anything goes” any time of year?

Black leather is one of those things that I love, but can never pull off. I imagine looking edgy and end up looking like I’m playing dress up in a biker’s closet. Leave it to House of Harlow to create black leather jewelry that I’m pretty sure we can all pull off! I’m thinking flats, jeans, a simple tee, and one of these gorgeous pieces. A little bit of edge, and a whole lot of style, don’t you agree?

This outfit is doing such a great job of combining tough and girly, I can’t help but be in love with it (even if I do run the risk of boring you to death with my Zara love)! I’m pretty sure that the only way I could ever pull off a leather skirt is if it had preppy little pleats like this one. Aside from shoes, do you ladies have leather pieces in your wardrobe? I have been eyeing several cute leather jackets lately, but of course the ones I really like are way above my price range.



They’re colorful, beautiful, and leather. Could you have guessed? I am intrigued. Handmade pearl-like baubles by Natalia Brilli. Fantastic take on the classic string of pearls, with lovely little bows to boot!
