--By Kim Moshtaghi

Leather isn’t just for rock stars. It’s something everyone will, at some point, embrace. It keeps you warm and it looks undeniably sexy. With chic shine, leather takes the cake when it comes to making a bold statement. Whether you wear it with a grungy twist, or with a classic clean finish, this look will adjust to your mood and personality.

Leather can have a tough image, so when buying leather pants it’s nice to show off some strappy or a fun pair of heels to balance out the look. This gorgeous slim leg leather pant is the ultimate winter essential. The Burgundy color goes well with cooler weather and with its on-trend deep hue counterparts.

It’s hard for me to shop for boots right now, living in 85-degree San Diego weather. But, the fall season and cooler air calls for some easy to walk in boots that keep you warm and stylish. I love this boot, and it comes in both regular and wide widths to cater to more women. My favorite is the tan color -- it is phenomenal and really stands out.
