Warm Weather Leather

You know when something is aged just right? Good, because I don't - I'm a fresh-faced twenty-one year old that gets distracted by all things new and shiny. However, when I take breaks from starring at mirrors and disco balls, I have noticed the beauty in aged buttery leather. I'm not entirely positive 'buttery leather' is the correct terminology for what I'm featuring today, but just go with it. These lightly colored pieces of leather furniture have been making me sigh whenever I see them, and The Sartorialist's, Scott Schuman's recent self-portrait (see last picture) got my motor going. I finally went on a rampage of all things buttery and chic. The pictures below, including the one of the smelly shoe, really make me ooze with desire. It could just be the weather, but I am just drawn to the lightly colored supple and succulent leather of these chairs and couches. The warm air and the light color just seem to go together perfectly. Before I start relating black velvet sofas to winter time (but I'm totally right though), I'll let you go, but only after appreciating all that these light and airy approaches to leather furniture have to offer.

For the Love of Leather

 

I usually start out my post by explaining if you've ever met me, you would make some crazy connection to the topic of the day. Well today is just like that, but not really. If you've ever met me, you'd probably confuse me for an elderly individual, from my lack of movement, hearing inadequacies, and sartorial style. But today I want to cover a serious Want of mine that isn't necessarily what someone would think of me wearing. The famous leather jacket. It belongs in every guy's closet, including mine. It's one of the most classic things a guy could own, and every cool person in history has worn one. Seriously, Google it. It's worth it to buy a nice quality, they will last forever, and the better the leather, the better they look. I'm gravitating towards the McQ option, I like the metal work on it, and the fit is a perfectly portioned cropped look that will definitely Up anyone's Bad Ass Factor.
