4 Ways to Style Your Leather Coat

Holly — Sun, 17 Mar 2019 04:40:27 +0000

A nice leather jacket has been a staple item in my closet for as long as I can remember. I bought my first one when I was still in university. I was poor AF and I used my line of credit to pay for it (I don’t suggest doing this) but I knew that it was something I would wear year after year, and I was right. Last month, after years (literally) of looking I found one that I felt was good enough to replace my old one. I knew I wanted to invest in another real leather one simply because of how long they last and how well they wear. Leather coats are like wine and women… they get better with age.

I found this one at Aritzia, of course… every time I walk into that damn store I leave poor! I knew that I wanted a moto style simply because it goes with everything! So to answer the ever so popular question: what is one staple item I should invest in? A quality leather jacket, no questions asked. You definitely don’t need to buy a real leather one, they make some vegan leather ones that are seriously beautiful. But if you are in the position to and you’re not vegan I wouldn’t feel bad dumping some money into a quality one. It is something you will wear with EVERYTHING, forever!

So if you’ve had a new leather jacket on your mind take a look at some I’ve linked! I tried my best to find a range in price!

Considering we live in a place where the temperature is below zero for what feels like forever, it is crucial to have at least one, if not many, coats. This jacket from Aritzia was on my wish list for a long time before I finally bit the bullet and purchased it last winter. It’s not a coat you want to be wearing when its 40 below, that’s for sure, but for ‘normal’ winter days, this coat is perfect for back and forth to work and running errands!

I had been looking for a camel colored coat for some time and when I saw the beautiful collar on this one, I knew it was “the one”. I love the way it stands when done up all the way and also the way it lays when undone. The silhouette of the coat itself is pretty simple but the material (cashmere and wool) and collar made me consider eating cornflakes for dinner for a month to make it fit into the budget.

Although I joke about eating Corn Flakes for a week to afford the coat, it really isn’t that expensive and it is currently on sale- bonus!

If you continue to follow me you will soon notice I kind of have a thing for coats… it makes winter that much more bearable.

What do you do to make the best of winter?

The Perfect Fall Coat

Holly — Thu, 15 Oct 2015 04:50:57 +0000

As the fall season progresses, the days of running outside without a coat are coming to an end. Although it’s much too soon to pull out those winter parkas, it’s the perfect time to grab your favorite fall coat from the back of the closet. This coat from BB Dakota is my absolute favorite for fall. It looks a lot warmer than it really is so the season for it here on the frigid prairies isn’t as long as I would like. For those who live where the temperatures are more mild, this could be worn throughout the winter as well- lucky!

This particular jacket is from a few seasons ago but each year they come out with the same style, just in a different print- this year the colors are burgundy and I am in love!

Tell me about your favorite coat!

Ps. Here are those leggings again… seriously can’t get enough of them!
