I Love Leather!

It's getting almost cold where I live and I'm starting to wear some winter clothes. One item I like is leathers especially those that have that couture touch.

The leather jacket and low rise pants that I am wearing today comes from Ranena Olivier Couture. I just love the design and also this colour which is a rather unique and delicate colour for leathers.

Ranena Olivier Couture - Leather Jacket and Pants in Grape

The jacket has a high rise collar that adds to its elegance with rather big cuffs at the end of the sleeves. It also comes with a belt which I wore today but it also works if you don't wear the belt, keeping the jacket very simple. Then you can wear your own belt at a low position to give it a totally different image with a more casual look. The pants come in long pants as well as short pants but since it's getting cold, I thought the long version will be more suited to be worn now.



Although I hardly ever wear belly rings, I decided to wear this sweet belly ring that has a star hanging from it that comes from Twisted and Spoiled. It's colour changing so it can be added as a cute addition to looks where your belly button will be showing.



I also matched up a pair of big sunglasses from DeLa. This comes in 6 different colours with 4 lens colours each and you get ones that you wear over your eyes as well as one that can be worn on your head, as I am doing here. What I loved about this is that it is attached to your nose when worn over your eyes but the one that you wear on your head is attached to your mouth. This means that when the sunglasses are not covering your eyes, you don't have to worry about your prim eye lashes being removed. Of course, you can re-attach the sunglasses to your mouth yourself but all the more better if it's all done for you!

From summer to autumn in one hour at Kyoot Army!!

WOW!!  i havent got so excited about a shopping visit for oooooooooh erm ok about a day, but i came away from Kyoot Army a very excited girl........  i went from summer to autumn to rehab in a very short space of time.... here's how i did it!

i found this really cute little red and white striped bikini that also comes in loads of different colours and stripes.  then i saw a really cute thin duo coloured belt which i thought added a quirky little touch - just dont sunbathe with that on!  then i just had to add my new favourite item - the wide hat from cubic effect - i have one in black but i had to run to the shop (in my undies) to grab a red one just for this.  and then i added these really cute shoes from TOSL in red with white dots.  then i ran to chouchou to catch some rays and some solitude.

bikini and belt:  Kyoot Army

hat:  Cubic Effect

shoes:  TOSL

skin:  Blowpop

hair: Detour

then after getting a little chilly when the sun went down, and moving into Autumn (Fall) mode i came across this really cute jacket and skirt number....  the jacket has an amazing detail to the collar area, with KA's signature one sided shoulder piece.  this would work great with jeans, trousers and all manner of skirts.... i then teamed it with the new KA hair.....

and i cant resist showing it with this hair too from Bish....... not my usual style, but love the hat part... its fitting for my autumnal look...

then for my next look, this is Clara being taken away to a padded cell and locked away for a few days to ease the pain of her credit card... rehab needed....

Kyoot Army call this 'Straight Jacket Surrealist'.  no other explanation need really for this one.  although a little tip - dont wear this to the supermarket!  again with the signature one-sided collar detail, this is a nod to the Wilted Wednesday outfit that Minnu Palen adopted for her Mourning Dress.  Looks great with the Dahlia skin from MiaSnow.

boots:  Stiletto Moody

Once released from rehab, i needed something to hide myself away a little, and this outfit does the trick perfectly!

a beautiful sheer top with attached hood, and attached hair!  very light and sexy, but hides a multitude of sins!  teamed with these georgous 'pantaloons' and my favourite Pornstar boots, sling on the shades and out i go....... of course the car screeching past me into a pile up didnt do much for the nerves, so had a little sit down,  a time to think ......

top, hood and hair:  Kyoot Army

pants:  Kyoot Army

boots:  Pornstars by Urban Bomb Unit

shades:  Armidi Gisaci 'Fi Umo Sunglasses'

it took me a while to get over this shopping trip which lead to rehab then witnessing a car accident.  so i took to hiding in hoodies for a while longer......

except this time, you'll be pleased to know, it didnt cost me anything.  yes this little gem can be picked up for free, yes thats a FREEBIE! from Bewitched Hair.  i love the way the hair pokes right out of the hood.

hood, hair and jumper:  Bewitched Hair
