Winter Coat Ready

The coolest coats of the season are upon us. As much as I want to buy a coat, I have TOO many!  However, if you're looking to purchase some stylish outerwear - I've got you covered.  My personal pick is definitely the icon Trench coat in wool-cashmere by Jcrew  - and guess what?  It is on SALE right now for 30% off!  It comes in 4 different colors, but I'd choose the all black.  I also included a super cool leather fringe scarf by Mackage that I love! I've never seen anything like that in a winter accessories before. DEF a + 

1. jcrew trench 2. faux fur hooded coat via topshop 3. scarf w/leather fringe via mackage 

4. neat wool blend cape via topshop  5. faux fur animal print coat via topshop 6. black faux fur coat via zara

Helmut Lang

Helmut Lang clothing is HOT! 

Every time I see something by Helmut Lang - I know it's HL. The details are always identifiable
with touches of leather in mostly black or white, always looking so stylish & chic.  It's like the type of clothing all the cool people are wearing ha!  I can't seem to get enough of this look - So much so, I tried on the dress with the BIG leather pockets recently, but unfortunately it was the last one left & it had a defect!!  Argh....just my luck. 

Are you into Helmut Lang? Yes or no?

Anine Bing is in the House

I can't tell you how many times I've searched for the perfect pair of leather pants.  Ones that would make me feel like Joan Jett & a bit of a BAD-ASS on days I feel like crap. I came across my all-time favorite pair from Balmain (which Kate Moss always wears) and I got soo excited! The excitement didn't last long when I saw the price tag, gulp. Hopes were dashed. Then, a few weeks ago.... I found a pair that looked quite similar, by Anine Bing. Let's just say I fell in love.

So.... I saved up & was able to get the Anine Bing leather pants. The price is still a bit steep, but good quality leather pants don't come cheap. I mean even the zippers are big & sturdy, love them. Call me CRAZY, but leather pants are a must in any wardrobe. 

Do you own a pair of leather pants? Do you wear them casually or just on dress-up days?
