My leather jacket is one of my favorite and most used purchases of all time! Here I just paired it with a sweater and my boyfriend jeans for an uber casual outfit. 

How do you style your leather jacket?! Also I am thinking of investing in amother one, maybe a burgundy... where should I look?

Check out the editorial portion of the shoot// The Italian Job

I am so lucky to have been contacted by Danielle to work with her on her boudoir and glamour photoshoots as a makeup artist and hair stylist last year. We clicked immediately and I knew that it was the beginning of not only a wonderful working relationship but also an amazing friendship! 

I love seeing how comfortable she makes her clients feel and how she captures not only their outer beauty but their inner beauty as well! After working with her so often I knew she would capture some great shots for me to showcase here for all of you and of course to show off my favorite leather jacket (only leather jacket) and these awesome biker boots from Asos. 

With this look I decided to do a super smokey eye and red lip to keep the outfit both edgy and sultry. The red lip adds to the little pops of colors that I added with the accessories and nails. I can't wait till out next shoot for the blog!   

What types of shoots would you be excited to see here? 

Schedule your session with Danielle today! Trust me you won't regret it!

Search Over: Perfect Leather Moto Jacket Found!

Remember my Finding the Perfect Moto Jacket: Save or Splurge post last month? Well I was finally able to make a decision ...and the winner was the Bernardo Asymmetrical Leather Moto Jacket (it is currently sold out but I have linked another similar one below in the Outfit Details).  

So I am absolutely head over heels for this jacket! It fits perfectly and I like the knitted panel on the inside of the arms for added comfort when layering. I can use this jacket with a badass outfit, use it to dress down a party dress or pair it with this vintage boho chic outfit I have on here. 

The bag is also new, I got it from Person Mall. They have great trendy pieces for very inexpensive! So if you are looking to add something to your wardrobe but can't splurge on the real thing, this is the place to go! 

Finally, I have this great headband from Prairie Charms that I previewed earlier in the Fall but never had the chance to pair it with an outfit.  The shoes are a new acquisition from Cyber Monday, I got them with the buy one get one deal at Macy's  ( same as the black ones in my last post). 

This time of year is so dangerous for shopaholics and collectors of shoes, because all of the deals and specials out there will drive a person crazy and eventually you have to give in and get much "needed" items that are essential to living! I not only got amazing deals on items for me but I also was able to get all of my Christmas shopping done! 

Happy Shopping everyone!

A Christmas wreath is such a simple yet beautiful decoration during the holidays. I thought this coat from Persun Mall would be a perfect pairing next to our wreath. I got this coat because I had nothing like it in my wardrobe. I can be dressed down in this all black outfit or I could pair it with a holiday party dress. It is a great coat to have that can be worn from Fall to Spring. The leather sleeves are a bit tight but I am hoping that by working out and portion control as well as continuous wear I will be able to fit into the sleeves better in time.

The tall boots I have paired with this outfit are from a Cyber Monday steal on macys.com! They had a bunch of boots for buy one get one free! Can you believe it?! I didn't at first, I had to re-read the email a few times before I rushed over to the site and ordered 4 pairs, only having to pay for 2 pairs! That had to have been the best deal I got this holiday shopping season. Stay tuned for more outfits featuring my new shoes!

Enjoy this Holiday Season Everyone!!
