Contemplating

Channing Leather Jacket by BB Dakota

HELP!

As you all know I'm on the hunt for a leather jacket. Today I found this one. The price is manageable-ish and I am loving the color and fit, but there are two things holding me back.

1. It is very similar to my grey suede jacket, mostly because of the fit and draping collar.

2. The draped collar doesn't seem as tame as my grey leather jacket.

Any advice? Is it a good idea to stick to a cut I believe will work for me? Should I look for a completely different style? I could just buy it and return it if it doesn't work. Has anyone has experience with BB Dakota's leather? Let me know your thoughts!

Inspired

Feeling inspired by this polyvore set I created, I decided to give the look a try with items in my own closet. Sometimes I find that finding new inspiration in things you already own is a great way to re-discover your closet. It really does help you save money because it shows you the versatility of pieces you own. I wore the skirt you see in this outfit when it was much warmer out, but this morning I realized that I could make it cold weather appropriate with some layers, and a warm cup of coffee ;)

Bold

Have you ever had an item in your closet that just makes you feel super tough and bold? This new sweater is that piece for me. The structured shoulders and metallic thread add so much edge to an otherwise simple knit sweater that I can't help but feel bold in whatever outfit I'm in that includes this as a topper. Sharp eye-liner and a nude lip complete the look.

Just wanted to direct you all to a blog, Inexpensive Chic, where I was featured for Niyah's street style series. Niyah's blog is very cool because you get to see real people's style instead of just one person's or people who can afford much more than you. It's an honor to have a fellow blogger feature me! This is a world where I think growth comes from reader and blogger support, so I'd like to thank everyone here who regularly visits my blog as well. You guys make this so much more fun!

Sparkle

Sequins may be a night time thing for the most part, but I like to add a little sparkle to my days as well. I wore this outfit for an adventure day back in the city I love. Since the top is pretty loud I kept the accessories to a minimum. The high ballerina bun is also starting to be one of my favorite go to hairstyles for when I don't have enough time to tame my frizzy locks.

Tank: Anthropologie. Cardigan: J. Crew. Cropped Trench: Nordstrom's Rack. Jeans: Joe's Jeans. Belt: J. Crew. Shoes: Miss Albright. Bag: Lucky Penny. Sunglasses: Vintage.

Smitten

Smitten ice cream is the newest ice cream shop that has opened up in San Francisco. What makes this place so unique is that each order is made right there in front of you, "with love". With a limited daily menu you get to choose the flavor, and any toppings you want, and the order is made right there. I tried the "Tcho" (Dark Chocolate) and Kyle tried the brown sugar. Both flavors were unbelievably rich, and you could really taste the cream and milk in the ice cream, which I prefer. Since it is made via liquid nitrogen, the ice cream will melt quicker than usual so we went for a cup instead of a cone. If you are in the SF area I definitely recommend trying Smitten ice cream!

The machines that make the ice cream are named "Kelvin", which I think is clever.
