Contrast

I'm loving this trend (bold b&w or nude/black) so I recently purchased the blouse top/right. I can tell it's going to be one of those go-to pieces for me; I can throw it on for work or dress up with a skirt and accessories to go out.

Alexa Chung is the perfect model for the current
Vero Moda Campaign. This look actually
reminds me of her personal style.

Best Deal! H&M $9.95
Jerry Hall models it in the Holiday Campaign
(along with daughter Georgia May Jagger)

[p]Leather

I'm currently a little obsessed with leather pants. I recently went for the pair from Forever 21 (below) to at least get the look. I like that they are mixed with a cotton legging so that they still breathe!

The trend seemed to come back with Balmain's skinny leather pants and more recently, Isabel Marant's cropped version. I like that you can keep the look hard/rock'n roll or soft/casual (with something like a cozy sweater and flats).

I'm loving the red option... a lot.
