Fun Fall Buy: Leather Skirts

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 23:33:48 -0700

The phrase "leather skirt" may conjure images of biker babes in black minis, but this Fall, the leather skirt is getting a toned-down twist. Sure, there are some short styles, but these earthy skirts are anything but trashy, with brass buttons, flared bottoms, and supple, soft leathers. Plus, the sturdy styles are a great option for cold weather. Here are my favorite leather skirts in stores right now.

Lafayette 148 Leather Skirt, $798, available here.

Banana Republic Heritage Snap-Front Leather Skirt, $298, available here.

Diesel Leather Mini-Skirt, $182, available here.

It's a tight fitting item by nature so is not for the feint hearted, but it's a great way to get a step ahead for the new season. What do you think of this trend, will you be wearing a leather skirt?

Style For Style: Freeing Leather of Wrinkles

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Before ordering my new favorite faux leather jacket, I had never thought of ways to get wrinkles out of leather. It was only when the box arrived, and I found my poor jacket wrinkled from being packed so tightly, that I felt the need.

With Fall upon us and leather items, like this Kenna-T Leather Mini Skirt ($264), being major must haves, it's important to know how to free them of the ugly wrinkles they get.

To learn how I freed my leather jacket of wrinkles, read more.

Since you can't iron leather, I put my brain to use. A light bulb went off and I ran for the dryer. I turned the temperature to the lowest setting possible (I didn't want to start a fire) and threw my leather jacket in for a one-minute spin. When I took it out, it was considerably less wrinkly. Fabulous. I put it in for another 30 seconds to get the last of the creases out. Feel free to use this technique on any leather item that becomes wrinkly. Just make sure you don't leave it in for too long, as you don't want your leather to melt!

Kova & T Latex High Waisted Skirt: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 07:00:22 -0700

The only latex I currently own is a pair of dishwashing gloves. I'm wondering if it's time to expand my collection to include this Kova & T Latex High Waisted Skirt ($209).

This concept looks like a lighter, shinier version of leather, but is latex any more comfortable? I'm up in the air on this one. What do you think?

Ashley's Leather Mini & Crochet Tights: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 16:44:44 -0700

When it rains Ashley and Mary-Kate, it pours Ashley and Mary-Kate. I say, bring on the downpour!

Here, at the launch party for LORAC cosmetics' new palate with clothing line Miss Davenport, Showstopper, Ashley is bringing back the leather mini skirt and crochet tights. Her homage to the '80s looks good, but then again, she's very tiny so she can get away with it. This look can go either way; it will either be embraced with open arms or shunned by the masses.
