Labor Day weekend officially marks the end of summer, which is always a huge bummer. But the thing that cheers me up every year is that it also means open season on fall coat shopping! Top of my list this year is this belted trench from Express. I am loving the addition of ruffles to the military look. Ahoy, captain!
This sweet little leather bomber jacket is exactly what I want for fall. Inspired by a vintage Italian racing jacket, it’s slim cut, buttery soft, and a little distressed.
It impresses me that a necklace this dramatic rings in at a relatively reasonable price. (Also available in single flower versions, if you can’t swing all that beaded bling.)
I understand that plastique purses serve a purpose: done well, they can offer the cheap, broke, and/or vegan an alternative to pricey leather bags. But in practice, the pleather often reeks of, well, pleather. Their vaguely chemically smell and rigid texture have disqualified them from my closet.
Until I scooped up this faux-woven bag from Kohl’s. My new beloved is huge, slouchy, and odorless, which makes for an amazing work or school bag beyond its obvious “so what if it touches the disgusting subway floor because it only cost $13.50″ statement.
Especially when it comes packaged as this perfectly cut, perfectly priced bomber jacket, which would be the best cheeky topper for a little black dress.
