The Leather

Celebs are sporting it. Models are working the trend. It hits the high streets big time. It is never a last season item. So are you rocking the leather jacket trend?

I am.

I finally caved in to the leather jacket trend after seeing them splashed across pages of every self-respectable fashion magazines, after seeing them in the displays of all good fashion stores, after seeing fashion-slaves in them, sashaying past me.

It was not that simple, however, to shop for THAT must-have leather jacket. The cut has to be perfect, the colour must be right and the look has to be biker chic. And needless to say, a good leather jacket costs an arm and a leg. Thus it took me ages before I decided on the right one.

I was euphoric the day I brought it home. I was grinning from ear to ear, jumping around for joy and even did a little dance while parading in it for the man. I even had the urge of stealing a look at it in the wardrobe before turning in that night.

Oh yes, I am in love.
