ineed. iwant.

I've been MIA...Bali, Perth and the like...mostly just sheer laziness though to be honest, because getting back from holidays is soul destroying. It's like that feeling you get when you're 3 months into spring and your still wearing woolen knits...or is that just reality Melbourne?

Either way, I HEART THESE SHORTS. Maybe these shorts will help relieve my post holiday lull. I need. I want. You know the drill

"She who wears leather belted, studded, laced up short shorts has the last laugh".

its not the weather, hand me my leather

Miroslava Duma got me onto leather shorts. I couldn't' stop thinking about them after seeing her sporting a brown A-line pair at New York Fashion week earlier this year. Epic perfection if there was such a thing.

I managed to track down a pair at an op shop off Sydney Road in Brunswick a month or so ago. Much to my horror when I returned to purchase them they were all but gone. Because who wouldn't' want to snap up a $60 pair of vintage black leather shorts ? Silly silly girl I am.

Since then, I have yet to find anything close to what I am after. For now I will just have to make do with the burnt orange leather skirt I managed to find last week...and live in hope that come winter I will be able to, a) afford a pair of Alexander Wang's leather shorts or, b) track down the buyer of those op shop shorts and offer them a pretty penny in exchange for what was rightfully mine.

And it's not the weather. Hand me my leather
