Nina Dobrev Loves Leather, Looking Cute

Jessica Alba may cover the latest issue of Self, but she isn't the only cutie in the February issue of this magazine.

Rising star Nina Dobrev is also featured in the publication, as she poses for numerous pictures and opens up about fashion. Here are a few excerpts of what The Vampire Diaries actress had to say...

On a passion for leather: “The creators [of Vampire Diaries] adapted my personal style for Elena. We both wear KRMA leather jackets all the time.”

On making her own jewelry: “I was in a diner when my fork bent out of shape. So, I wore it as a bracelet! Now I look for antique silverware to make into jewelry.”

On the 19th century: “I also love fashion from the 1800s. The hoop skirts, the silk and velvet…they were breathtaking. Literally! I’ve learned that when I’m wearing a corset, breathing is a luxury.”
