Orgin of Aleatherista

Everyone wonders how do I come up with “aleatherista” as my blog name. Firstly, it’s pronounced as a-leather-rista.  A represents Annette.  I think that leather plays a very important role in fashion, especially high-end fashion.  Some of you might think that leather is just for Fall and Winter season, however leather is an all season round fabric.  There are leather shoes, handbags, accessories which you wear during summer.  Last but not least, “rista” comes from “fashionista”, and ending “aleather” with “ista” makes it sounds like it’s regard to fashion. Aleatherista is a blog where I corporate leather into my daily outfits (:  (sorry PETA people, sometimes I wear faux leather/fur too)
