LEATHER x WOOL: Love Affair

So you've already learned about my obsession with Leather a la Stella from PR Season 5, but this new trend puts an entirely new spin on love of this sleek, sexy fabric (think innocent girlfriend turned crazy, psycho stalker in really any Lifetime movie).

Ladies and gays, we present to you: Leather meets Wool.

I only recently discovered entirely infatuated I am with this trend when I ran into Alexa Moraif:

Okay, let me just start off by saying her effortlessly, fabulous outfit is perfectly complemented by her gorgeously curled hair and brilliantly white teeth--people should take note, some crest white strips and an extra 5 minutes spent on your hair go a long way.

Now for her outfit. The first reason I noticed her, her unreal jacket: dark grey wool with all-leather sleeves. It's like old-school high school varsity jock jackets except done for skinny, pretty girls and not football bros. See below:

(Emilio Estevez in The Breakfast Club, arguably the original bro)

Alexa pairs her jacket with that adorable printed sweater, classic black jeans, taupe Tory Burch ballet flats, and simple classic jewelry like her token anchor pendant necklace for her sorority Delta Gamma.

My love affair only deepened when I saw this promoter at Bijou later that night (obviously at a club, because it's the betchiest way to get drunk):

The jacket, shoes, AND printed hoodie underneath? What was your name again? Ugh, if only I didn't take that extra shot at the pregame...this situation calls for Craigslist Missed Connections.

So thank you to Alexa and the Bijou Promoter. You give my life hope.

Saint Patty's Day Recap


Okay...so I know Saint Patrick's Day was a week ago, but let's be honest, I had a jam-packed schedule of blacking out and one-night stands moderate drinking and casual sleep-overs with acquaintances to adhere too. Needless to say it was hard to find time to write posts. But, seeing as it's now Sunday night, society is forcing me to be a functioning human being again.

En route to my drinking festivities downtown, I encountered this gorilla on the T:

(don't be distracted by the overtanned guido in knock-off True Religions)

While I understand that day-drinking holidays such as Marathon Monday call for outrageous apparel. BUT in good taste ladies! Let's start at the top. Leather jacket. Fine. I love myself some leather (midly-moderately obsessed at the moment). Stella from Project Runway Season 5, anyone?

But, the jean skirt circa Abercrombie & Fitch 7th Grade? Which one of your safari animal friends said this was okay? And why was the line not distinctly drawn there? Let me just say that leggings should ONLY be made in sizes nonexistent-medium. If they actually stretch when you put them on, it's time to consider an eating disorder dieting and going to the gym. And the horizontal stripes aren't doing much to disguise the cankle situation that's going on there.

This outfit alone caused me to drink a little bit harder. Guess I can now justify the events of that day...
