Outfit Inspiration: Lauren Conrad's Leather & Polka Dot Ensemble

I loved this look Lauren Conrad wore during New York Fashion Week a few months back. I would quite possibly give my left arm to own Helmut Lang cropped leather pants and Louboutins to match every outfit.

But then again, with just a little time spent scouring the internet, one can find very similar pieces with less agita-inducing pricetags. I found these awesome leather leggings at H&M not too long ago for $20! (Remember them here?)

What do you think of my version of LC's fashion week ensemble? Would you wear it?

Outfit Inspriation: Faux Is The Way To Go!

I remember my very first pair of faux leather pants. I was a freshman in high school. Mom & Dad were out of town that weekend so I announced to my friends that I was going to have a party. Naturally that meant I needed a cute new outfit to host in. I went straight to H&M and picked up a pair of black faux leather pants, a hot pink sweater and a pink sparkly belt (haven't we all played the part of fashion victim at some point in our lives?)


Fast forward several years and I'm back at H&M lusting over a similar pair of leather leggings. Luckily this time around I know a bit more about how to make them look good.


I've been seeing so many pictures of celebs and models wearing leather pants or leggings with over-the-top fur vests. And I'm in love.

SO in love, in fact, that I gave it a shot myself! What do you think?
