Wintertime in LA calls upon this current season Zara sweater that I wore in the post below as well as a nice big fluffy jacket to justify having your bare legs out to brave the night air. Post dinner and pre gig, Stevy had time to walk the streets of Hollywood with me in search of a viable blog post backdrop. Here I am looking cold & coy in front of the wood panelled walls of the Hollywood Sound Studio off N Cahuenga. Outfit details include this new-to-me Wang skirt that I got off eBay in all its mud coloured crocodile corseted glory and hey my nail polish matches! It's nice when things work out like that. The thing to remember with leather skirts/shorts/pants anything is longevity. So although one good leather piece might take a huge chunk out of your wallet at that one moment, if the piece in question is going to be worn so many times that the cost-per-wear is down to like, $0.80 - it is worth it. Proof of this is seen in my leather Zara pumps! Purchased years ago and worn 99% of the time I need heels. True story.

Still flipping through pages of my Hong Kong diary in the form of iPhoto and I still have so many updates from my trip there. Here's one from when I visited the Soho area of HK in hopes of visiting some vintage stores and seeking out this one café I heard about from an organic grocer a day or two prior. (Will elaborate more on this in the photo diary) Once again, Hong Kong's thick humidity called for the staple 'shorts + tee' combo and it gave me a chance to whip out my beloved pair of leather & lace shorts, whom the masterminds behind Rag & Bone created. I have such hearts in my eyes whenever I gaze across these shorts in my closet. The leather is so buttery soft and the lace so delicately pretty that combining these two fabrics is such a tactile sensation. See a more dedicated picture to them that will make you want to pet your computer screen here
