I have died and gone to studded, black, spikey, leathery heaven.  Everywhere I look its BALMAINIA.  Now, if I only had a black amex and a fake passport to escape with when I never paid my bills.

Spending this past weekend in NYC for fashion week was simultaneously torture and instant orgasm, and I decided that if you have to break the bank once this season, do it with something leather.  Of course, the best thing would be to pick up Balmain's fall/winter leather jacket with Grace Jones shoulder pads and Iron Maiden chains.  Check it out here.

If you can't afford the tag on that one, check out the slightly more reasonable jackets with even more studded goodness from NYC's boutique, BESS in Soho.  They have absolutely the best long-sleeved leather mini dresses, black jeans with studded pockets, vintage boots (as seen in Numero's spread with model Catherine McNeil) and a fabulous SnM leather body suit with front zipper.  Check out their lookbook and website here.

There will be more NYC fashion reports to come but for now, I cannot stress enough, LEATHER LEATHER LEATHER.
