I just loooove leather jackets!!!
GREAT POST!!!
D&G is my favorite!!!
xoxo
For years I have not longed for leather. This year a leather jacket has been calling to me. I haven't found the one yet. But, you have found many amazing options.
i love that little ruffly one that miranda kerr is wearing. too cute!
Leather jackets are absolutely the BEST in the fall. I have been wearing mine to death...which thankfully only makes the coat look better instead of worse - wish all clothes were like that, but alas, it just seems to be leather :P
Great roun-up as always, and did I mention that you are your sister are superbly gorgeous? Because you two TOTALLY are! Good gene pool there :)
yah for leather! let see, in my closet: i have an Ann Taylor long leather coat in black, a Versace leather biker jacket, brown suede Christian Lacroix jacket. I am looking for a short one button leather jacket now to wear, maybe almost year round.
Well, there's not a better way to tell this... I've a duality...
I love leather, but I'm against fur and leather.
The good thing is that they are great faux leather pieces.
A thing that makes me nervous is when people say that a woman over 40 shouldn't wear leather... but why???
Great stuff dear
xoxo
Hi there-I love leather and this post, haha!! My favourite is a black cropped jacket, thankfully I picked one up not so long ago!
Wow, first things first... Naomi!!!! And not only am I truly elated to have at last coined a noteworthy term (Yay! xox), but Christian Dior's leather Ballerina has me in a state of awe. But then again, Aminaka Wilmont's pleated leather jacket...
I've added you to my sphere of lovelies, as well.
I love a classic black biker, the Temperley one is gorgeous. I've tagged you dear
I own a leather jacket - and i just LOVE it :D
Me parecen fabulosas las camperas de cuero, para usar a comienzos del otoño y no quitarsela nunca!
saludos!
Gucci and Namoi Watts have my love!
Hi CC!
Oh I love the leather jacket! I think I am a bit obsessed with it :-) Fendi's leather jacket rocks!
xx
Although I love the look ... I don't feel comfortable wearing fur and try to limit buying lather to shoes, purses, and sometimes gloves ... and fake is not an option ( I'm against anything fake)... But I really do love that edgy look that you can easily achieve just by throwing on a leather jacket :)
Ooooh yes, my bf has the coolest vintage 60's black leather jacket!
I say yes for leather! I was lucky enough to find myself a leather biker jacket for this fall. Next I would like to get a leather pants and vest. Just haven't seen any affordable ones anywhere. Good post, "everything is under one roof". :)
I have a great leather jacket that is very 1970s and cost me a mere £45 from New Look - I was wearing it today!
I loved the See by Chloe vest.
Oh, I love the leather! I have a phenomenal Sisley butter-soft chestnut coloured leather jacket. Not unlike the D&G you posted except more extreme: The sleeves are funnelled, the neck is a strange button up cowl and it's very fitted. Sounds hideous - and it is pretty noticeable - but I think it's gorgeous. Would never have bought it for myself (too $$$) but my mother got it for me last Xmas.
You and your sister look adorable, btw.
i am dying to find the perfect leather jacket!!
i have yet to find it.
xoxo,
La C
the christian lacroix is beyond beautiful! i love the first signs of cold weather, i finally get to break out my vintage leather jackets! :)
that men's jacket is amazing! and i'm going to be dreaming about the wilmot one...:)
xo,
S.
ah. i hate that i love leather so much, as i am a HUGE animal lover.
but a shrunken moto is pure bliss.
its edge is unparallel.
you look so sweet cc. love the scarf.
x.
leather mmmm, so nice.
is this a trick question? i wear leather in 85 degrees routinely... today is no exception.
btw, herve leroux reads my blog :)i know you will understand this...i will post about it soon.
mmmm.. leather? YES YES YES!
leather on darling!! i love these pix,buh i just cant wear leather...:(. i'm soo brrrrrrrrrrrr!!
p.s:thanx for noticing the typo n tellin me!! linked yew!! love love!!
Great post! I love absolutely leather. I posted about leather love 2 days ago. My fave: Hermes.
Oh, this is terrible, I want everything in this post.
This was a super yummy post for me Carrie as I love a leather jacket.Ok they are not always made from leather.. hehhe
Ive quite a few but my fave of the moment is synthetic but works never the less. Despite that I still want more.I'm leaning towards a vintage one,simply because I think leather looks even better the older it gets.It is amazing how varying designers translate the basic leather jacket.From the sweet ruffled ones,to the hard biker,the austere ones...honey you showed them all and further intensified my lust for a new one ;o)
FANTASTIC POST hun!
Love the photo of you and your sister,your both uber pretty! Please let her know that Topshop does a 36 inch inseam for trousers in their Tall section.
kisses,
Marian
Looking good! I am still searching for that perfect black soft leather one.
I wish I could buy Hermés fab leather clothes...
I'll keep dreaming.
Cheers.
the checked leather is fabulous!
so are you!
Is that you,CC in the last pic? How gorgeous!
Sad news.. I was waiting for a pair of leather lace up boots and the seller basically refunded the money today and said she was sorry that the box didn't arrive. Dang!?
Good news...I thrift'd a long tan vintage leather coat for AUD 30 also and just got it cleaned.. which cost me 80? Anyway.. you will get to see it soon very soon.
Leather is my fav material. Sorry for animals but I do love anything leather.
I'm looking for a jacket and your selection helps me a lot. But I know I will keep on wearing my old leather coat I love so much.
I've been on the hunt for the perfect leather jacket. That vest and the jacket next to it are very cute..
leather jackets are just so chic...i dont have one in my closet yet...not quite at baller status!
mmm.. i will get a leather jacket this fall anyway. But what to start with???? sooo many variations there,,, why can't i just took them all back home with me???
