On Trend – Faux Fur and Leather

One of my absolute favorite shows and guilty pleasures is the hit STARZ original series “Spartacus,” now in its second season, “Spartacus: Vengeance”. Recently, one of its stars, the beautiful Katrina Law, did an amazing spread for our current issue, for the second time. This time, she looks every part the brave heroine she portrays in furs (Faux) leather and snake skin by talented designer  Dena Burton. Although these are usually more winter styles, there are a few tricks for incorporating these elements into your wardrobe this spring. 

Try pairing your fur vest with light colored denim and fun, summer wedges. This will create balance for the current season: not too hot, and not too cold. Wear your leather pants casually, like jeans. Paired with a lightweight sweater in bright bold colors keeps your leather from looking to Gothic, but maintains a bad-ass edge.

Try making your snake skin a little more  sporty. Combat boots will be comfy casual, while the cashmere but athletic looking sweater will elevate the look just a bit. Keep it simple with accessories and it’s the perfect look for a day of errands. Don’t get rid of your winter items just yet, play with them and make them fresh for spring!
