Like sugar and spice

As seen on the Spring 2011 runways, lace and frilly skirts are making a comeback. I love the sweetness of the lace, but I’m not really a girly-girl, so wearing all-over lace is out of the question.  One of my favorite trends this season is pairing a little lace with tougher/masculine pieces (especially leather).

Lace mixed with leather is the perfect combination, something a little sweet with something unexpected, which creates a savvy mix that is both bold and chic.

Stay luxe with lace and leather by creating a balance of these opposite looks. Pick the piece that will make the statement and pair with simple items to add the final touch!
