Leather is a huge trend for this fall and HGB has got you covered on some of the hottest and affordable pieces to incorporate in your wardrobe! Leather is definitely luxurious. There is nothing like wearing a rich leather jacket. It changes the dynamic of the entire look. So if you want to incorporate leather in to your wardrobe and not just for outerwear, rock a leather skirt. When I say leather,  faux leather is included. Some people aren’t afforded the luxury of being able to purchase a leather skirt for $150 so faux leather will do. My favorite type of leather skirt is the pleated skater skirt. It is edgy, yet ladylike. You can pair it with a simple white blouse and a pair of black pumps and be ready for work. Now for the evening, a sexy camisole and blazer will be perfect for a date with the beau. I also love the classic leather pencil skirt. I just purchased a faux leather pencil skirt from jc penney for $25 and it will be making it’s debut to the world sometime next week lol. If you do not want to go for the entire leather look for fear of looking like a dominatrix, try going for a skirt with leather panels or a leather waist band. Below are some options for leather and faux leather skirts that you can add to your wardrobe this fall.

 

Tika Sumpter attended Estelle’s “Wonderful Life” album preview this week in NYC at the Darby.

Tika looked super fly in a pair of gold studded shorts, and a captains hat.  She paired the shorts with a leopard blouse and blush colored heels.  She kept her makeup simple with a pink lip and bronzer and let the hat take center stage by leaving her hair down.   Tika is such a beautiful woman, and that skin……..I think we would all kill for it! LOL.

I believe the studded shorts Tika is wearing are from Urban Outfitters and you can get a similar hat either on Etsy or by scouring your nearest vintage stores.

Are you ladies feeling Tika’s look?

 

Summer isn’t officially here, however the hot weather is and there is no better time to break out a fly pair of sunglasses. 🙂

We always see all these celebrities with stylish, EXPENSIVE sunglasses but honestly ladies, there is no need to drop half your check on a pair of sunglasses.  There are so many on-trend and stylish sunglasses (UNDER $50) available right now, and the selection is so wide everyone is bound to find something they love.

I’m scourged the web for the hottest sunglasses under $50 and it seems as though the best places to get your stylish peepers for a great price would be:

ASOS

Urban Outfitters

Top Shop

Mango

Rihanna was spotted leaving her hotel in NYC in a Cushnie Et Ochs dress from the pre-fall 2011 collection. She paired her dress with a forest green snap back hat and Vans Lo Pro sneakers.

Are you feeling this look?


Reader Nikki sent in a request asking for bright skinny jeans

“Can you tell me where I can find colored skinny or jeggings? I’m digging red, pink or yellow for spring.  I like the rocker look and I’d like to find some that look good on a shapely lower body.”

I love bright colored jeans for spring. Jeans like these can make or break a person’s look. You do not want to look like a teeny bopper or a bag of skittles so make sure the jeans are paired with the right items. I would pair the jeans below with a denim or chambray shirt and a pair of nude wedges for the day. I would do the rocker look like Nikki at night.
