the leather leggings

faux leather leggings are definitely a favored winter staple in my closet, but achieving the look and feel of leather sans the high price tag? i've tried several decently priced pairs including these blank denim brand, but after busting two pairs pulling up by the bet loop i've given up (i know the directions say 'do not pull by bet loop,' but seriously isn't it just second hand nature to give them a tug?). these aritizia leather pants are hands down THE best faux leather leggings i've come across. they've got the look and feel of soft leather, about as comfortable to wear as your pjs, and the price is right on the mark. i paired these beauties with a slouchy sweater and flats for some christmas decoration gazing downtown and threw on some heeled booties for dinner at night!

black + gold

i'm absolutely obsessed with the new h&m shop online (how has it taken them this long??).  i went a little crazy the day it launched and found a ton of steals to take me through fall (great pieces like this and this)... you'll be seeing a lot of them in upcoming posts starting with this top paired with a black skirt and booties, gold accents and a pop of red lips, taking me from work day to wine with a friend.

black + white

simplest trend of the season is easily black and white.  my black and white ensemble, a silk top tucked into striped shorts, felt a little dull so i paired it with a bold mint clutch and low ankle strap heels to dress it up just a touch (don't mind the rocksbox cuff i added in there too!)... pretty much covers all the trend bases and i'm ready to go for a daytime cocktail hour!
