As most of you know, my personal style often sways toward a rock & roll aesthetic. I naturally gravitate to anything with leather, fringe or studs and believe that boots are (almost) always a good idea.

After psychoanalyzing myself, my unprofessional opinion is that perhaps I like to create a tough exterior to balance out my rather soft interior. I’m naturally a fairly shy people-pleaser so sometimes I want to project that I’m a badass. Enter the black and leather. In a way it makes me feel powerful. Like if my outfit says “don’t fuck with me,” then no one will. Plus, I really just like the way it looks.

If there’s one thing that I dislike about summer, it’s that the warm temperatures can hinder my affinity for leather. We’ve all seen the Friends episode where Ross sweats in his leather pants – it doesn’t end well for him and it was enough to teach me to proceed with caution on the leather situation (see, you CAN learn from TV!).

Alas, laser cut leather is here to save the sartorial day. With its intricate patterns and built-in breathability, it’s a current trend of choice for this leather-lover. A sheer draped back makes this style especially warm-weather-ready.

Teamed with black skinnies, wedge sandals and a mini arm party, this easy top gives me a defined look and keeps the heat stroke at bay.

Thanks to Mr. Marc Jacobs and his game-changing Louis Vuitton Spring 2013 show (yes those are escalators in the background…in a tent), fashion has set its sights on the mod movement and ’60s inspiration. Graphic lines, bold color contrasts and sleek structures are lining the racks and popping up in my inbox as summer gets closer and closer.

As with any runway trend, personal interpretation is key. Take the most important elements of the look and find something that works with your style. My choice? This black and white Zara top. The strong contrast and slightly flared silhouette are just the right amount of mod for me. Coupled with black skinnies and ankle-strap wedges, I’m able to take the tone of the trend and translate it into my own look.
