HELP! Leather in the Summer?

 

I just ordered this light weight leather jacket from my homies at BCBGMAXAZRIA.... I thought it would be the perfect accessory to throw over any little tight dress for a night out on the Philly town, lol...but now I'm having cold feet...second thoughts if you will.  The jacket is thin, but really....come on, does anyone wear leather in the summer?  My Brooklyn Mommy Fashionista friend, reach-her-here ,and I had this discussion a few days ago in which she brought up the same topic. At the time, I'd just read an article in Vogue (or maybe it was Lucky) highlighting a few summer leather pieces.  (A lightweight carmel color leather skirt was included now that I remember...gotta go back and bookmark it)  Either way, we concluded that it all depended on exactly what the leather piece was.  Needless to say, I still don't have a definite opinion. HELP! xoxo -SBG

Thanks Dad

 

 

 

So, I must admit...I am ashamed to post this, but it must be done. It has little to do with fashion, but leastways, it has to be said.  THANKS DAD. 

Last night (about 1:30 am actually), after I had finished painting my new and improved mini studio (Behr, Subtle Touch, if you were wondering) I noticed that a ginormous centipede (like, 1,000,000,000 legs deep, no lie) had made its way to the second floor of my home.  What did I do? Well, at first I tried desperately to "keep it together"...I tried to grab a bottle of bleach and kill the creature, but I just couldn't do it.  I was afraid of it, but didn't want to take its innocent life (what is wrong w/ me?!). So, my second reaction was....TWITTER BROADCAST...which went a little something like this...

5. ReneeAlise_SBG:: There is an enormous bug in my house. Who will come kill it? HELP!
   Needless to say, I still remained helpless.  UNTILL..... I called my ever so faithful father, who was on his way from JERSEY within 15 minutes flat.  Now, of course he tried to calm me down before, and coax me to handle this bug problem I have on my own.  But by this time, I was so shaken, I couldn't budge from standing on my couch (yeah, I have a slim problem in which I freeze up, when terrified...working on it).Twenty minutes later, dad shows up at my front door and the rest is history.  Now I know I have a problem. A ridiculous one...but I have to give props to my dad for coming through.  No matter where I am on this earth I am certain that my father would come find me...even if I telephoned him while sitting on an iceberg in Antarctica.... He'd probably calmly ask me if I could check CHEAPTICKETS.COM on my phone, while he packed his things.  Thats my Dad...thats why I love him... Heres to you and the rest of the "ride or die" dads. Bwahahaa, lol :) :) Happy Father's Day. -SBG
