Month: February 2017

So it is no secret that since moving back to the Bay Area I have become obsessed with jackets. In LA having a jacket normally means something light weight and something that is more for looks then warmth. But here in Palo Alto I spend most of my time freezing and needing a warm jacket. (I am a self proclaimed cold weather weenie!) So needless to say all the beautiful motorcycle jackets I have accumulated this winter have rarely been worn and I need it to warm up already so I can wear them!

But great news for all of you is that a lot of great motorcycle jackets are one sale and perfect for spring! Below is a round up of some great jackets that I found while shopping this weekend. Click on the name of the jacket to take you to the correct site!

So Friday was a normal enough day. I had gone to work and then convinced myself that I needed some exercise. I rationalized that walking around the mall was still exercise and I would just browse. Famous last words of course because if I happen upon a deal I have to buy it. Well low and behold I stumbled on clearance rack of Free People stuff. After a quick once over I found the cutest rose colored cardigan marked down from $128 to $29.99. After trying it on and realizing it was comfy and long enough for my 5’10” frame (even in a XS/S)  I purchased it. Not even five minutes later I walked into Nordstrom and saw the exact same cardigan at full price! So clearly the purchase of that sweater was meant to be.

Linked below is the sweater in question (the Macy’s link is on sale!) and some other blush/ rose colored sweaters that I think are perfect transition sweaters.

Everyone meet my new-to-me LV Jeune Fille GM in Epi Noir! This love affair all started when I saw the bag on a fellow blogger and immediately thought I have to have this bag. After a quick google search I realized this bag was no longer made and I was going to have to get resourceful to find the GM size, in the leather I wanted, and in the near perfect condition I was craving. To me the bag was the perfect combination of luxury and practicality. The luxury was incapsulated in the Louis Vuitton name while the epi leather makes the bag practical in every weather- including all the rain I have experienced since moving back to the Bay Area. As I scoured the sites for this bag, I found some other fabulous crossbody bags along the way to share with my readers. So I hope you enjoy the bags (and the savings) I have linked below! (Click on the picture to go to the correct site.) (Plus I sadly do not have unlimited funds to buy bags so I figured I would share the wealth :))

*Please note all the bags listed below are a link to just one item so when its gone its gone. Plus I recommend reading everything about the bag listed (including condition and size as many vintage bags will have minor flaws like sticky pockets-which can be cleaned) and asking any questions you need to. Plus if the website you decide to purchase from doesn’t authenticate first I recommend paying the extra $20 to confirm it is in authentic.
