Chic Tip: Leather Legs (the good kind)


One of the biggest trends right now, which took wayyyy to long to come to main stream, has been leather pants..or the wet-look denim. As mentioned in my 'Top 5 trends this Season'- the rocker look is defiantly a must-do. That being if you can pull it off..most people can but you really never know what a new look might do for you..You'll know when you try them on. If the leather look isin't your thing: try simple black jeans or skinny pants..

That being said there are may different routes to achieve the leather looking pants (*shop tip-buy black).
- Buy rubber like leggings (Urban Outfitters)
- Buy wet-look leggings (Urban Outfitter, Topshop)
- Buy wet-look jeans (Urban Outfitters, Kate Moss for TopShop)

Remember: Strain away from actually buy REAL leather pants..it's just too much. Why spend that kind of money when you can achieve the look better and save a little money.

Stay Chic,

Chic Tip: Do it in 3's

There is a new 'rule of thumb' out there- wearing 3 colours intead of two. I know it sounds simple but it makes a world of a differnce in your overall outfit. Wearing three colours instead of one or two just makes your outfit look that much more pulled together.

For example: If you're wearing grey pants and a black top- throw in a coloured belt or fun coloured shoes. When wearing neutral colours it is best to throw in bright colours. When wearing bright colours- throw in something neutral. Simple enough.

Stay Chic,
