Trend Watch: Leather Dresses,


Who says leather is only meant for jackets anymore? Lately, Hollywood’s elite woman have been rocking the newest trend, leather dresses.

What I'm wearing:
Leather dress: H&M Divided, Bolero: Clockhouse, From Temptation Boutique: Shoes: Dollhouse, the belt , bow headband and silver clutch, Accessories: the shorter necklace: Pink Cultured Freshwater Pearl from Zales, the larger necklace: Pink Cultured Saltwater Pearl from Sanganeshmar Pearls India.









The style is a fresh look considering it’s not your usual dress, and the stars have put some unique touches on the piece such as adding lace and/or spikes. Shenae Grimes, Ashley Greene, Rooney Mara, Fergie,Michelle Trachtenberg, Charlize Theron, and Jessica Alba are just a few ladies who have dabbled with the look.

What’s great about the look is you don’t have to wear the traditional black leather. Colored leather is also in whether it’s red or pink, giving it that extra edge.


When Nicole Ritchie stepped out in a sunshine coloured leather dress this week, she set the tone for Spring. Coloured leather dresses are here for the summer, proving once again leather really is an all-season wardrobe staple.
What was really eye catching, was how Nicole managed to work the bright yellow with her Boho look by adding a  woven belt, simple jewellery pieces and snakeprint shoes from her own house of harlow label.


Other celebrities who have worked this trend include Blake Lively and Zoe Saldana:



A bright yellow leather dress is not an easy piece to carry off, but we think that Miss Ritchie does it beautifully, and cannot wait to see what else she will be stepping out in this spring.

This bold color adds a sophisticated punch when worn in the form of tailored  blazers  and blouses, but is electric and playful when worn as handbags or statement  jewelry . Get a head start and add this color to your wardrobe before all the blue-fanatics snatch it up this spring. Transforming bright shirts, shoes, dresses and even pants, cobalt blue has been surrounding all the runways this season. Paired with black, it has been the theme of some designer’s shows, including  Monique Lhuillier , who centered all of her  Spring 2012  pieces around the brilliant cobalt blue, basic black, a stunning yellow, and bright white. This color has been proven to be practical in an incredible amount of ways. The latest trend in jeans-wear is the colored jean. There are fifty-five colors alone at  Joe’s Jeans , and corresponding with
