Quest Completed!

Leather jacket purchased!  First, let me clarify by saying that I purchased it a few months ago at Nordstrom's Anniversary sale.  So....this post is a smidge late, but relevant all the same, because I'm still abSOlutely obsessed.  Plusssss I've been searching for a leather jacket for over 2 years (I'm a little bit of a perfectionist), so a month or two really isn't that big of a delay in the scheme of things.

 BEHOLD!  The Veda 'Max' Leather Jacket!

It's amazingly versatile and ohsofantastic.  The collar can be zipped all the way up for a futuristic look (think Aeon Flux), or folded down for a more subtle look.  My second favorite feature?  The fabric panels on the inside of the arm! They stretch to hug your arm for the perfect fit.  

There are a variety of colors and finishes, though I got mine in a buttery black.  Find your perfect match at Nordstrom, or one of these alternate retailers...

Here's One for the Boys!

Normally I blog about my own fashion exploits, but today I'd like to shine a light on my pet project, aka my boyfriend!  :)  Before we started dating his closet was divided into jerseys and free tshirts (with some overlap), and Barney was just a purple dinosaur.  But, slowly but surely, I've been working with him.  

Now he waits in line with me at H&M launches, and tells me which pair of shoes he likes best.  Still, he was hesitant to let me help change his 'look.'  

Then one fateful day we meandered into Barney's and noticed a sale in the men's section.  After some groaning, I managed to get him into the dressing room.  He tried on a few items he seemed to like, but nothing ground breaking.  Then, he stepped out in this, a suede moto jacket by Theory.

The smile on his face was enough for me, and I told him we were getting it whether he liked it or not.  I mean, it was the only one left, it fit him perfectly, and it was 50% off!  No Brainer.  

Well...the flood gates are open!!!  He wore the jacket to work and got a ton of compliments.  Now when we go shopping, he asks to go to the men's section.  I've even gotten him to share in my love of chinos and boat shoes!

I must be the luckiest girl ever.
