    Unless you've been living under a rock, you've noticed that leather is coming back in a major way. It dominated the fall '09 runways and will make a huge statement this fall. It's the perfect way to add some rock and roll style to any outfit. There are the old standbys like leather (or faux leather!) jackets and leggings, yet the best way to wear leather this fall is in non-traditional shapes. Try a loose fitting menswear trousers (like the pleated trousers from Geren Ford). Leather skirts have a bad rap and aren't usually considered to be the most classy choice, but can look totally chic when it's artfully draped or cut like pencil skirt. Want something even more non-traditional? Then leather shorts are for you. Paired with some black tights and killer heels, you have a look that's tough, quirky and chic! Charlotte Ronson's high waisted shorts are your best bet. Check out the slideshow for more ideas!

    Leather Skirts for Fall from DvF and 3.1 Phillip Lim

    I saw a leather miniskirt while shopping the other day and was instantly drawn to it, but instantly wondered if I could pull it off. I decided against it, but then-- while perusing the fashion pages later-- I came across a couple of gems which helps to quell my fears of leather. I love the pleated leather mini from 3.1 Phillip Lim; it is a take on the popular skater skirt silhouette. I plan to pair it with black tights and it will look great with platform ankle booties too. Another leather skirt that caught my eye is this leather pencil skirt from Diane von Furstenberg. It works perfectly for the office as well as for after work cocktails when paired with classic leather pumps.

    When it comes to leather, there's a fine line between who can really pull it off and who should literally pull it off and donate the duds to the nearest Goodwill. Especially now that summer is nipping at our heels, I've been surprised to see so many stars still donning the leather look while roaming the red carpet -- some even decked out in the fabric head-to-toe even throughout the sunniest days of late May. From aspiring rock-chick Taylor Momsen to cutesie R&B crooner Jesse McCartney, it's tough to say whether some of these artists are really digging their leather loot or are just trying too hard to convince us that they have a rebel side. Is it officially time to hang up the motorcycle jackets and liquid leggings and embrace some more breathable material, or is there a whole slew of dominatrix-inspired trends just around the corner? Vote below on who you think looks good enough in their leather to be allowed to wear it for a little longer...

    There are a few celebrities that usually hit the mark when it comes to fashion, while many miss the bull-eye time and time again. Then there's Gwyneth Paltrow, who appears flawlessly fashionable whether she's at a movie premiere or pushing her baby stroller down the street! And yes, she does it again at the "Spain... on the Road Again" Television Series Launch Party. Gwyneth appeared casual yet sophisticated in an almost all black ensemble, allowing just a small glimpse of her gray cotton shirt to peek out. She went back to the basics with this look, keeping it simple and chic, because no girl can do wrong with a playful black leather pencil skirt! Pair it with the classic and versatile combination of black tights and black heels and you're good to go just about anywhere! To complete the look, she sports a year-round favorite-- the perfect black blazer with three-quarter length sleeves--an item every girl should have hanging in her closet. Get inspired by Gwyneth's chic look and go back to the basics in my SLIDESHOW!

    If you have seen any of this current Project Runway season, then you are surely familiar with Stella: the feisty former makeup artist from Queens who is obsessed with anything and everything relating to leather and rock and roll. Although I have previously questioned Stella's taste, I am beginning to think that maybe she is on to something. After all, leather seems to be the material du jour this fall. Designers are already making a statement by using it on everything from curve-hugging leggings and skirts, to shrunken moto jackets and hip 80's-inspired gloves. Leather has always been considered somewhat of a staple material, but this fall it's definitely a star! So how can you add some leather to your wardrobe without looking like Catwoman and breaking the bank? Well, the Hive has the answer! Check out my SLIDESHOW for five adorable and affordable leather (and leather-like) pieces for fall.
