Arts on Main and Neighbourgoods Market

Our first trip to Arts on Main was January last year at the opening of the market and all I thought about was The Old Biscuit Mill in Cape Town and how glad I was that we had something similar....Today as I post this we have two :) - Arts on Main and Neighbourgoods Market (which is an extension to the Neighbourgoods Market at The Old Biscuit Mill in Cape Town) - Yay Jo'burg!!....Both Arts on Main and Neighbourgoods Market were created as part of the urban revival project in the CBD of Jo'burg...

Luscious Leather

Lucious Leather

Leather has been a classic trend for as long as I can rememeber. Timeless pieces like the biker jacket are must have for all. Today leather continues to be a huge trend and an even better trend an apparel trend yay!! 

Outfits made out of leather are highly innovative and continue to be huge on the Runway and in the Streets.

Leather skirts, leather pencil skirts, leather jackets, leather blazers, leather biker jackets, leather bombers, leather tops, leather vests etc everything will be created with a new and exciting look look. In short the fashion buzz is all about leather be it in any form. Main fashion mantra of  leather as apparel is proper fitting of the clothes decked with minimal jewelry. Just simple earrings and simple bracelet is enough to jazz up looks in leather dress. These are key components to wear leather outfits with style. Remember leather has such a classic look that it does not need accessory elements to prove itself.

Pairing leather with soft fabric lend it an attractive look. From top till bottom complete leather gives heavy look thus contrasting it with other fabrics is must for looking good. For example leather pants can be teamed with soft silk top or leather skirt with ruffle wrapped soft blouse or sweater and so on. These pairs make appearance classic. This contrast in colors and fabrics is also a must to suit the look, as it is about flaunting style in different colors and fabrics.

So for your next special event why not try one of the looks below and have some quirky fun! :)
