How to Style...LEATHER PANTS for Day & Night

SO,  I've always been a bit envious of the girls that can pull off the leather denim/pants look. Considering I'm 5"1 and very petite*, it's hard for me to find a good pair of jeans, let a lone a pair of leather ones.

To add to the challenge, I rarely buy jeans online, even if they are by brands I normally wear. However, I stumbled across these Blank NYC (faux) leather moto pants for $98 (now on sale at Saks for $49.99 - talk about a steal). I mean leather moto pants for under $100 is already a steal, I was a little hesitant as I can't alter them because of the zipper on the ankle. THANK GOODNESS for reviews though, as a few people had posted with my same measurements that they fit them perfectly. SO, I decided to give them a try, a few days later, they arrive and fit PERFECT and the moto style added the perfect grunge but detailed feel! I was beyond excited.

I have worn them a few times now; styled for the day and then dressed up for a night out or a date night. I'm obsessed with them, but I can't wear them TOO much because the washing instructions well basically say to damp them with a washcloth (what a hassle).

Creating this blog, and posting my outfit pics on my Insta regularly has really motivated me to try new looks and step outside my comfort zone, while still remaining true to my style.


*Note: some of the contemporary denim brands I swear by are: Frame, J.Brand Jeans, and Rag & Bone.

I Pulled it Off!

SO, it's been awhile since I did an outfit post...so why not now?

The other night, I did not feel like getting dressed for a dinner date, so I was browsing Instagram and Pinterest for some ideas, and noticed a lot of heels with trackpants. I thought - there is NO way I can pull this off, but I gave it a try, and I actually did!

Mind you, I don't have Gucci or Givenchy track pants so the next best options was my adidas (click to shop). Even Rita Ora & Bella Hadid, killed it in the 3 stripes!

My Inspiration


My Look
Top: Zara, Track pants: Adidas, Heels: Barneys New York, Bag: Gucci, Denim Jacket: Nastygal, Jewelry: David Yurman
I'm super into the velvet trend at the moment, and love burgundy as a splash of color. Burgandy is perfect way to add some low key color to an all black outfit. These heels are from Barneys New York and super comfortable! I'm thinking of getting them in black too. Shop them here. They are a great pair of heels that won't break the bank either.


Moral of the story: Never be scared to take a fashion risk, it may just work!
I'm not super into Pinterest anymore but ...if you want to check mine out, click here.

My Go-To Classic Black (Gucci) Bag ...

SO I'm sure if you are a constant reader of the blog, you realize my obsession with Gucci. I needed a classic black shoulder bag, that can transition from day to night. I LOVE the Chanel boy bag, but for now, I have to keep dreaming with that one (as it's 2X as much as I wanted to spend).




I wanted a bag that was a timeless- with the hype of Gucci, I went straight to their bags- duh! I have a Givenchy Antigona Mini in black, but it's not big enough for everyday. I also didn't want a bag that scream the brand's name, like, I know I would get sick of the "double G" print all over. You may not always be able to tell, but I like to keep it subtle (not to flashy) when it comes to my bags. I was debating between 2 Gucci bags...

Left: Gucci Dionysus Suede Shoulder Bag
Right: Gucci Padlock Medium Shoulder Bag
... but the way I carry my bags, the suede would just not hold up over time.

Now lets get to some of the outfits...

You can shop the bag here at Neimans!

This was a fabulous investment that works for every occasion and every season (even though we don't have many seasons in LA)!! 

You will notice a lot of my clothes are from Missguided, they have great prices for those nights you will only wear that outfit once or some great basic dresses that are easy to throw on. Nasty Gal used to be my go to shop, but once they sold out Missguided is where I turn! I love mixing expensive pieces with lower price ones!

Which outfit is your fave?
