Shiny Little Things

I love that leather is so big for the fall/winter.  It’s so much fun because it kind of reminds me of the over-the-top looks from the 80s and 90s, but it’s done in a fresh way. 

Remember that movie Can’t Buy Me Love where Patrick Dempsey, who was the hottest geek, was in love with the popular girl, and he pays her to make him cool and they inevitably fall in love?  If you’ve forgotten, check out the trailer.  It’ll bring it all back to you.

Awesome right?!  Well, if you’ll remember, Cindi wore a white suede, super expensive outfit that she’d secretly borrowed from her mother for a big party and then some dumb jock made her spill red wine all over it.  That was how she got herself in the fix of needing Dempsey’s money in the first place.  When I was a kid, that outfit seemed like the hottest, most luxurious thing ever.  I couldn’t wait until I was old enough to don leather from head to toe.  Well, now that I’m grown, I think I’d rather do it like Emmy Rossum did.

She looks pretty cool in all leather.  This dress is from a label that I didn’t know existed.  Apparently Paige Premium Denim has started a Black Label that is more “edgy, but sophisticated” and ranges from $230-1000.  The line became available in stores this month.  I guess I missed that news flash.
