Wendy Knit bootie in black, can be worn pulled up (shown), or folded down. Sizes 7, 8, 8.5, and 9 are still available. These boots are gorgeous.
What the hell is flannel and why would anyone ever want to wear it? When I hear the word "flannel," the first thing that comes to mind is a plaid flannel button down shirt from the 90s. However it is so much more than that, and is so comfortable.
"Flannel is a soft woven fabric, of various fineness. It usually doesn't have a nap, and instead gains its softness through the loosely spun yarn it is woven from. It is commonly used to make clothing, bed sheets, and sleepwear." (source)
Hermes Fall 2009 Ready to Wear collection.
The pants in this image are made of flannel. Check out this entire collection on Style.com (see the link above, under the image). There are some glorious knitted sweaters and stunning leather skirts and dresses. The colors of the leather (of course Hermes is a well known name for luxurious leather goods) are divinely earthy and look soft, supple, and flowing on the body.
The love I have for elegant, clean cut lines, paired with the sheen and texture of long leather gloves and boots is almost indescribable. Even though this design element tends to cover up almost everything, it just looks so tailored...so luxurious. At times, leather tends to give off some sort of "bad girl" aura, being that it is sometimes associated with bondage and whips. However, this fall, if I were to run across a woman in classy, saturated colored, knee length leather boots and elbow length gloves, the first thing that would come to mind would be money, and jealousy. Wrist length leather gloves are also very cute, and can go with almost anything. Leather paired with soft wool, or cool cotton knitted garments would be wonderful and full of awesome texture. Hey! What about knitting WITH leather?
