Leather Accessories You Need In Your Wardrobe

Leather is one of the essential materials used. It’s durable, it’s meant to last long. These are the few reasons why leather became an icon of its own. And, having a piece made out of it can cause an impression.

 

Jazzmaster Chronograph Quartz Silver Dial Stainless Steel Men’s Watch

 

In the fashion world, this material is no stranger. From hats down to the shoes, leather is a premium that you should look out for. People love leather and would spend much to own a leather good. 

 

There are also leather goods out there. These products may be costly ones, minus the patent and brand reputation. Having these accessories cannot only make you look elegant but can also help you save money. 

 

So, what are these leather accessories that you should have? Let’s take a look. 

 

1. Luxury Watch

 

Watch is a vital piece in a look. May it is for office or a romantic dinner; you should have a timepiece that suits well. It does not only make you look pleasing, but it also helps you build a character from others’ impressions. And no other material will be better if you invest in a leather-made piece. 

 

Models from the Hamilton Jazzmaster collection are the best for leather strapped watches. These contemporary classics are made with various leather types, perfect for every occasion. 

 

2. Mules

 

Sandals, brogues, or stilettos? If you can’t decide just yet, maybe it’s time to spend some good money on these. Mules are currently known for its slip-on style, matched with a closed toe. These are widely used in semi-casual because of their comfort and minimalist colorways. With a little courage and creativity, you can also use these on formal events. 

 

Mules helped in breaking the standard arrangement of styles. This innovative take has become a rule-bending piece in the latest trends. And the best part is that you can find these in any department store for a very cheap catch. Now you can wear sophistication anytime, anywhere. 

 

3. Tablet Sleeve

 

Gadgets can come a bit disturbing, especially when you are in a meeting. Tablets and big phones can become distractive, and you don’t want your boss to notice it. To keep it on the table in a subtle way, you might want to buy a tablet sleeve.

 

Leather tablet sleeves have colors that do not spark attention, unlike cellular cases. It is neither an enclosure for your gadget, so you would have to keep it cleanly tucked all the time. This is an advantage for most gadget aficionados, as they keep the aesthetics of their phone raw. 

 

4. Keyring

 

Keyrings aren’t new nowadays. We see a lot of people using them, but not as sleek as the leather ones. The reason? Aside from being a subtle piece in organizing, it also prevents unwanted distractions. When driving, keyrings, or keychains can produce reflections and sounds. But with a leather-end part holding your key, you may not have to worry the next time you drive. 

 

Keyrings can come expensive as well, because of the leather type. If you would want to save some money, you can always look for old bags with leather hangtags. You can use these as your keyring, with the luck that your bag is Louis Vuitton. Fabulous! 

 

5. Roll Pouch

 

Aside from your gadgets, you can also keep other accessories held tight with just a roll pouch. Combs, cards, money, and other things can be strapped with these leather bad boys. If you want to ditch your clutch bag, or if you’re staying in your car, these will do the trick.

 

6. Leather Tote Bags

 

Tote bags are revolutionary pieces nowadays. You can use them at any time of the day, whether you’re at work or doing a stroll. These are very comfortable to bring because of its structure, which is uncommon with other bags. 

 

Takeaway

 

Accessories give out the best in your looks. This is why durable materials like leather are an excellent investment to make. Not only that you’ll look good, but you’ll save more money than usual.

Sam Villa Calls on Famous Friends to #SaveOurSalons

(New York, NY) – On Sunday, May 17, 2020, stylist Sam Villa is bringing famous friends together as Hairdressers Supporting Hairdressers to unite for LIVE education and inspiration for stylists who are struggling.  The fundraising event will benefit the PBA COVID-19 Relief Fund.  Stylists are encouraged to register at samvilla.com/socialathon.  Consumers can support too by donating!

As one of the hardest hit industries by the global pandemic, the Professional Beauty Association COVID-19 Relief Fund was established to provide small cash donations to salon workers in immediate financial distress during mandated closure in hot spots or to prepare safety measures while social distancing is in effect.  The Sam Villa company has contributed over $25K to the relief fund so far, and with a little help from their friends, hopes to raise much more.

The all-star line-up of industry legends, inspirational stylists and mentors includes, X-Presion, Robert Lobetta, Matty Conrad, Larisa Love, Anthony Mascolo, Tabatha Coffey, Matt Swinney, Chelsea Vonne James, Marco Arena, Mark Busto, Antoinette Bender, Sonya Dove, Ruth Roche, Candy Shaw, Vivienne Mackinder, Gerard Scarpaci, Ammon Carver, Ludovic Beckers, Chris Baran, Chrystofer Benson and Stephen Moody!

“I’ve never felt a greater need to collectively reach out to such an important group of friends and call for unified action to support our industry. The circumstances we’re in are unprecedented and we all hope to do what we can to help the most at-risk salon professionals,” explains Villa.

The SOCIALATHON is FREE on Sunday May 17th from 10:00am EDT to 11:30pm EDT.  Each guest will have 30 minutes to teach and share. Most will focus on professional hair tips and techniques and some have words of wisdom and inspiration. Throughout the broadcast, there will be a “Donate Now” button on both the YouTube and Facebook platforms for viewers to donate funds directly to PBA’s COVID-19 Relief Fund. There will also be a counter to provide a real-time total of donation amounts received.

“I believe this is going to encourage and uplift hairdressers as they shelter at home and look to social media for inspiration and support as they prepare for what salon and barber services will look like in the future,” adds Villa. “We can get through this together and be better than ever!”

Dalesha’s Life: Living Blind & Glamorous

Dalesha Richardson is one of the stars of the popular YouTube series ‘Dalesha’s Life’, which also stars her live-in (also blind) boyfriend Manny. The two are one of America’s only legally blind interracial couples who are inviting audiences into their lives on a day-to-day basis to watch them live, in the hopes of changing those misconceptions some have about blind people.

It’s A Glam Thing sat down with Dalesha to find out more about her life, her beauty secrets, favorite Instagram filters, trends and if Manny has ever done her makeup!

NICK NORTHSTAR: How would you describe your own personal style?

DALESHA RICHARDSON: I would consider my style comfortable, relaxed, and definitely chill. If I have the option, I usually go for leggings when I’m feeling extra chill or jeans when I’m feeling extra cute.

NN: What are some of your favorite beauty and makeup products that you use?

DR: Well, I’m all about being natural. If the occasion calls for makeup, of course I’ll rock a beat face! But, in my day-to-day life, I prefer to slap on some gloss and call it one.

NN: Have you ever made Manny help with your makeup? Or how does a legally blind person get ready to go out with makeup and all?

DR: Well, first off, Manny doesn’t know an eyebrow pencil from a lip liner! But, when those events do come up where makeup is a must, I usually will ask a professional to lend me a hand. Not seeing well, and not being a makeup expert myself, I feel like it’s always a good idea to get a second opinion.

NN: What is your favorite Instagram filter? Or #NoFilter?

DR: That’s a great question! When it comes to my stories, I usually lean towards the animal filters (cat, bunny, and dog). On my feed though, I love to use the grayscale filter. I love how I look in black-and-white!

NN: Why did you want to start a YouTube channel?

DR: I thought you’d never ask! In 2016, I decided that I wanted to film Manny and me’s everyday life as a legally blind couple. Besides thinking that it would be fun, I felt that maybe I could help people understand what it’s like for a couple to go thorugh life being legally blind. I wanted people to be entertained by our adventures and back and forth banter, while also getting more comfortable with people who have visual impairments.

NN: What Top 3 Fashion Trends do you LOVE right now?

DR: I love the cold-shoulder, long-sleeve look most of all. For pants, I’d have to say that the flare-leg is super cute. I’m also noticing lately that I really like the vertical-stripe look. I never knew stripes could look so attractive!

NN: What Top 3 Fashion Trends do you HATE right now?

DR: This is a tough one because eventually most fashion trends do grow on me with time. I’m not really into the neon look too much yet. I’m also not really a big fan of tops that show side-boob. If I had to pick a third, I’d say that the tie front tops aren’t my favorite. Most of my family says I dress like a grandma though because I don’t usually pick clothes that show too much skin.

NN: What changes in the world overall would you like to see changed moving forward?

DR: I think that, more than anything, I hope that by watching Manny and me do all of the things that other couples do, people will slowly start to become more comfortable and relaxed around people with partial blindness. I want the public to continue being helpful—but only when we ask for it. There’s a big difference between offering to help and assuming we need help.

NN: What is your advice to anyone wanting to start their own YouTube series?

DR: Three words, go for it! All you need is an iPhone and a willingness to be yourself! You’ll probably feel awkward at first but stick with it and it will pass. Don’t be afraid to ask your friends and family for feedback, that really helped me early on.

NN: While you are blind, obviously you get to ‘see’ the true beauty that is inside people, not just on the outside. So what is your overall definition of “Glam”?

DR: I do agree that looks are important, but they aren’t the only thing that counts. Personality, in my opinion, is a lot more important than most people think. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve met that are so glamorous on the outside, but so ugly on the inside. Remember that glam goes deeper than what the eye can see!
