Noir et Cuir

I really don't think there's alot for me to say at this point.
Except...I wish I had the actual panache, enigma and alterna-cool factor of the girl in this picture.

It's that frightening uber-cool vibe that we all know and love from those teen misfit movies of quality (cue early 90s)
Think Natalie Portman in Leon. Or Winona (yeah in them wild double denim, tattoo filled, hotel room trashing Johnny Depp days) in Reality Bites.

Screw the fluff of today!

But back on that X-factor:

Then and only then could I probably embrace my dark side with lashings of fur, signet rings, maxi leather skirts and scary/awesome boots (I like to think my new platform booties...which will be getting much love from and outside the camera...are kind of scary awesome in a kind of weird zombie love child of a trashtastic Lady Gaga-esque whore and a dandy Englishman...but story for another time)

I probably still wouldn't look half as amazing.

But they say they have cookies on the dark side...

Mmm...

I Do Love A Man In Black...

And I really should have added '...and knee high boots' to the title...

As the weather gets colder (ignore the entirety of last week where the sun and my denim cut-offs came out for a last hurrah) - It's nice to see everyone reverting to the favourite colour of fashion editors everywhere. Or is it a shade? I never quite understood that. I guess it's not really a colour...

Aside from totally wanting to steal his very comfy looking leather jacket, perfectly coordinating scarf and droolworthy (and yet practical) satchel...I am OBSESSED (and I repeat...no actually I shouldn't repeat...because that raises my creepy levels to an all time high) with the fact that the gentleman decided to don a pair of knee high boots!

Hello modern Mr Darcy of my dreams! (Admit it...there is something rather swashbuckling and debonaire about a man walking around in knee high riding boots)

If only he had appeared on a white horse...

My goal to live out Pride & Prejudice in real life would have been oh-so-perfectly-achieved.

Alas.
