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...

Not Just for Wrestlers Anymore

So, maybe I'm just super weird (ok, let's be honest, I am super weird), but I used to love watching wrestling. 

Grown men in ridiculous costumes? Check

Hilarious "plots"? Check

MTV instructional show? Check

and, above all, shiny shiny belts!  

Talk about an accessory, those belts are insane...ly awesome!  And Balmain agrees.  Just check out this couture version he had walk the runway.

But alas, like many of the shiny things that catch my eye, it's horribly impractical.  Womp womp.  Luckily I spied some options that are easier to wear outside the ring.  A few options for your closet are below.

While I don't own any of these personally, I have added two others to my closet collection.

                         

The first, the Roxanne Thin Rose Gold Plate Belt by Nicholas is available at ShopBop.  It was also featured in my With a Twist blog post.  

The second is The Bold & The Beautiful Belt by Mettle made from upcycled silver.  Sadly, you can't get this exact belt anymore, but its gold tone twin is, again, at ShopBop.  I think it looks fantastic when paired with a solid hued dress, as seen below.

Whatever you pick, now you can feel like a champion (even at the grocery store).

New Jeans!

On a whim I tried on a new fit, the Verdugo Ultra Skinny by Paige.  They are perfection!  They fit like a glove and are super comfortable.

They're definitely worth a try.  

You can buy them in my fave color, twilight, on Paige Premium Denim's website, or browse your options here on Lyst.

Floral, the Right Way!

Florals are great and fantastic, but only when done correctly.  Otherwise, you end up looking like bad drapes or grandma's duvet.  But this season, they are sooo spot on!  I tested the waters with a pair of skinny lace trousers in black from ASOS.

Understated and fantastic But now, I can't get enough.  So, I've put together this lyst of fantastic florals.  Take a peek after the jump!  Between Kate and Cacharel, my hardest decision is what to get next...
