The Leather Jacket

Esley dress, Abercrombie Leather Jacket, Forever21 platform heels

( kudos to my awesome boyfriend who got me this jacket ! )

I bought a new book yesterday called, "Parisian Chic: A Style Guide" by Ines de la Fressange (find book here). It has some quintessential styling tips that every girl should know.  Also would make a great gift for someone. Here's an excerpt:




The Leather Jacket

• With a chiffon dress to avoid that "garden party" look
• In winter, under a coat , adding a touch of rock'n'roll to an overly elegant look. Feel free to let your sweater show underneath. 
• With a rope of pearls. A winning offbeat look.
• Never with biker boots, we are not Marlon Brando. 
• Celeb Style: tan leather jacket + white jeans + silk top + heels

I've always admired minimalistic fashion, ie. Helmut Lang. There's something very elegant and sophisticated about sharp lines and solid colors. I like a trendy, youthful dress just as much as the next girl, but simple, clean looks never go out of style. Sometimes less is more. I've been searching for a plain, beige coat for the last month and found a great one at forever21 for around $30. Can't beat that !

Since the colors of my outfit were simple I wanted a bright background. My sister and I were driving in a part of town we have driven in a 100 times and we saw this wonderful, old, abandoned building that we had never noticed before. I love this scratched up painted wall that says "private parking."

This is my first post! Basically this blog is a reflection of my journey to find beauty in everyday things. I think we too often assume that we have to travel someplace far or buy something ultra expensive to find it beautiful; beauty can be found anywhere, even in your own backyard. One of my passions is fashion so that will definitely be a reccuring theme.  
My sister and I didn't have anything to do so we decided to go for a drive down the road we live by until it ended. The sunlight was just right and it was so peaceful out there.
