I found them really big on the waist - which is saying something as my waist is the widest part of my body - totally non existent. Doh. Am going to try ordering a smaller pair but I fear they'll be too snug on the legs. Hope you had better luck than me. I was really impressed with the quality of the pleather. Really leather like!

Did consider buying some last year when my daughter (age 16) bought some leather leggings from Topshop - bought back fond memories. Now I sit back and watch my daughter with envy!! I am though considering the leather top from zara. Was wondering if you will be doing a review on wedge trainers. Love the Ash ones but as they have increased the price I am constantly looking out for cheaper versions. xDebHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-16413627285953536492012-09-11T04:13:31.500-07:002012-09-11T04:13:31.500-07:00The Mint Velvet one looks lovely.

Last year I bought some All Saints Delors pipe leather jeans - I love them because they are washed/crinkled leather and more of a straight leg skinny rather than a second skin skinny - and at $380 they were fab value. I wear mine with sweaters or a loose shirt and jacket. I was inspired to buy mine by my icon Emmanuelle Alt - I'll never rock them like she does but I certainly don't feel like mutton in them:)Poppys Stylehttp://www.poppys-style.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-38494973109584438022012-09-10T13:45:16.850-07:002012-09-10T13:45:16.850-07:00Zaragoza????

At what age do we think it's time to pack away the leather trews? Just as I had thought that I could never re-visit them again, I saw a gorgeous pair of black jodphur/jegging things in Mexx that have leather panels ... so, so tempted.
