What two fashion essentials are on everyone’s list for fall 2010?

Leather and leather—that’s thigh-high leather boots and the cropped leather jacket. These two ideas will instantly give you a fresh, edgy-chic update that will take you all the way through the season with confidence and spirit.

This sleek, buttery, black pair gives you two looks in one—over-the-knee, as well as an easy fold-over for shorter styles.   And at $210, you’ll have twice the versatility for about half the price—for a boot that just stepped off the runway.      

Then, there’s the flattering, fitted silhouette of the must-have jacket. Crafted from supple, distressed leather in black or brown, this one gives you a sophisticated, downtown vibe with an on-trend belted hem, exposed zippers, and an asymmetrical front closure. You’ll love it even more for just $98.

And with fall comes thoughts of holidays and gifts. As I shop for the most unique style ideas, I often can’t resist special gifts and rare remembrances for the home and those we care about in our lives.

Here is an excellent example.  An extraordinary find at an amazing price, these hand-embellished Bibles are more than special occasion gifts—they are sure to become treasured family heirlooms to be passed down from generation to generation. The traditional King James Version, these leather-bound Bibles glitter with ornate gemstone-colored jewels and intricate gold filigrees. You just have to see them; they literally take your breath away— perfect for weddings, graduations, anniversaries, Confirmations, "milestone" birthdays, as well as year-end celebrations.

Stop by and see me soon.  Mention this post, and join my trendsetter list. You'll receive special gifts, private-notice discounts, and other surprises.

Cheers,
