not your typical denim jacket

Wait, what? A colleague of mine was sporting this Gap stud denim jacket the other day, and of course, I had to ask her everything about it. To my surprise, she had *just* gotten it, which meant I had a chance to get it, too. (yay). And, she had gotten it at Gap for $74.95. (double yay). So of course, I had to order it right away. And of course, I had to blog about it. Seriously, isn't it crazy adorable? And trendy? And adorable?

the most perfect leather jacket

Yup. This happened. I tried this Margaret O'Leary leather jacket, and that was it. I had to get it. Because it is the perfect leather jacket on so many levels. The leather is silky smooth, the blue lining is super cute, and the cut is modern yet classic. Throw this jacket on at night over a tank top, or wear it as a blazer during the day / at the office, and you'll be more than alright.

can you guess what happened next??

I stopped by the Margaret O'Leary store last weekend and ran into these beauties. Can you guess what happened next??

another james perse favorite

The James Perse Skinny Moto Jacket is a new favorite. It's midway between your favorite cashmere cardiwrap, your worn-out denim jacket, and your fancy leather moto jacket. It's trendy with its structured fit, comfy with its stretchy fabric and versatile: Wear it with a fitted dress and sandals, or with a pair of jeans and heels. Done and done.

elizabeth and james kurt leather sleeve jacket

I thought I'd post a picture of me wearing the Elizabeth and James Kurt leather jacket, because the pictures online don't do it justice. This jacket is truly unique, and so versatile. I dress it up with dark skinny jeans and heels at night, and dress it down with my J Brand jeggings and Fiorentini and Baker boots. Love!

elizabeth and james kurt leather sleeve jacket

Mamma mia! I tried this Elizabeth and James Kurt Leather Sleeve Jacket in Heather Grey at Bella Rosa Boutique, and I had to have it on the spot. This jacket is truly unique: I love the Perfecto motorcycle jacket look with its asymmetrical front zipper and softly cowled neck, and the combination of the grey fabric and brown leather. This combo is intriguing to so many people. And, intriguing to me because I have no idea how I'm gonna wash it. All in good time. He!

This Elizabeth and James jacket is available on Revolve Clothing, Blue & Cream and at Nordstrom; although I wouldn't wear it with a leopard skirt. Hmmm.

lululemon live simply jacket

The Lululemon Live Simply Jacket is one fffabulous jacket. It is comfy, cozy and warm, and so flattering with its long fitted look. I also have a big crush on the thumbholes: they keep my hands warm and the sleeves in place. All in all, it's the perfect jacket to lounge around or to wear after a workout. Exists in beautiful neutral colors, including black, dark classic sport grey, and classic sport grey, and in bright blue. This jacket runs a bit small so go up one size. It makes the perfect gift, too.

fffabulous trend: shiny puffer jackets

While we are on the trend wagon, I thought I'd mention another fffabulous trend that is going on on the other side of the Atlantic. One of my very good friends is spending a few months in Paris (lucky her!), and reported that shiny puffer jackets are quite popular there; in fact, they are everywhere! And I bet you they're gonna be very trendy over here by next year. So if you're planning a trip to Paris for the holidays (why wouldn't you?), make sure you pack a fffancy shiny puffer jacket. Bonus point: it'll keep you warm too. Our favorites shiny puffer jackets are the Moncler Clairy Shiny Puffer Jacket, the Moncler Degas Jacket and the Moncler Quilted Puffer Jacket.

add down 'nylon gloss' puffer vest

I'm a puffer 'anything' fanatic these days. After falling for the Add Down hooded puffer jacket in chocolate a couple of weeks ago, I am now obsessed with this Add Down 'Nylon Gloss' Down Vest in white. Why? This puffer vest will keep you warm when it starts getting chilly out (duh!), its diagonal quilting pattern is very flattering to the figure, and the white color is so classy and sophisticated. And think about it: you'll never get the white sleeves dirty. He! Wear it with a long-sleeve top, or a cashmere turtleneck, and you'll look all casual fffancy, and fffabulous. What's not to like?

one stylish puffer jacket

Love a good puffer jacket, especially when you find one that's trendy, stylish, and fitted. I've been wearing my Flavio Castellani down jacket for three winters now, and I thought it was time to spice things up a bit with the equally fffabulous Add Down Gloss Hooded Puffer Jacket. I love the huge hood, the belted waist, and the fact that you won't need compromise style for comfort with this very warm jacket. To wear with a pair of skinny jeans, and booties or UGG boots. I'm also wearing the Raven Denim Remy Skinny Jeans in Raw in this picture. Love them!

jet blanket jacket

I splurged on this Jet by John Eshaya Blanket Jacket in Dove Grey the other day, and I love love love it. It's long, practical and extremely comfy—so much I am already considering retiring it to wear exclusively at home. I mean, you have to admit: it's cool to look fffabulous while lounging at home in your PJs, right? This blanket jacket also exists in white, and although I don't think I could wear it outside (it's just too white and casual), it'd be the perfect cover up to wear over a bathing suit on a tropical or Saint-Tropez vacation, Hayden Pannetiere's style. Oh, and Lindsay Lohan got this Jet blanket jacket in White and Dove Grey. Isn't it fffabulous?

authier long collar jacket

I love to be warm and comfy, but I also love to look good and a bit sophisticated at the same time, too. Well, I found the perfect jacket that accomplishes both! The Authier Long Collar Jacket is absolutely fffabulous; it has a nice fold over collar and ribbed detail at its sleeve cuff and waistline, which is very flattering to the figure. Now who said you can't be casual and classy at the same time?? I also love the material: the shell is made of 94% silk and 6% polyurethane, the lining of nylon and the padding of goose. All in all, this jacket is unique and different from any other jacket you may find in most stores—and did I say Authier is an Italian brand? It's on sale on the Gilt Groupe site for $498 instead of $1,345, which is still a bit of a high price tag, but this long collar jacket is so classic and elegant, you'll wear it all the time—with black slacks to go to work, a pair of jeans to go out, and even sweatpants on the weekend!
