LEATHER X LEATHER

Leather has pretty much snuck its way into my wardrobe and took over my jeans. Every time I go out I always gravitate towards leather trousers or skirts. I really feel like it makes a look basic look almost look not so basic anymore. I love leather and oversized anything. I don't think this is a trend I will ever grow out of. In this look I basically did a "All Leather Everything" I've been paying a lot more attention to basics because they are great investments and you can mix and match them with everything. I feel like a well fitted leather skirt and jacket is a must have in any season. The leather skirt I am wearing is from HM and the Leather Jacket is a IstyleHunt exclusive. I found this jacket and immediately thought to myself this " I just hit the jackpot!" (I know it may sound corny) but let me give you the details about this jacket.
1. Its 100% Leather
2. It's my size :-)
3. It was less than what it would go for at Zara(or any other retail store) which would be about $100 or more.
My boots are from forever21 as well as the sheer turtleneck I am wearing. Overall I love this outfit because it was under 100 bucks and lets admit it, this looks pretty expensive.
 
 
 
 
LEATHER X LEATHER


 

It's Layers to this!

If your like me and you hate large winter coats this is the perfect post for you! When winter comes dressing warm and still remaining stylish can be tricky. In this post I am going to tell you all the essentials you will need to keep warm and cozy. 1. Leather Jacket: the leather jacket I am sporting is a ISTYLEHUNT piece it's a great transitional piece. If you want an edgy look grab a biker jacket! 2. Chunky Sweater: this oversized sweater I must say is my best purchase thus far. It goes with everything! the color is perfect if you are in love with the monochrome look & it is warm and soft. (sweater can be purchased at H&M) 3. Thigh High Boots: These have been seen all over this season and its because they go with everything! They are so easy to style. When you know you are going to be doing some walking in the city definitely grab a pair of these boots and your entire look will fall together.

My Favorite Hue Is?

EVERYONE, and when I say everyone, I mean EVERYONE! was rocking a camo colored coat this fall/winter. I wanted something totally different so, I went with this FOREVER21 royal blue trench coat. It was such a great addition to my wardrobe. One of the tips I use when shopping is, first I ask myself: How many ways I can wear this item? Then I ask myself is this a timeless piece? If I come up with more than three or four answers you can find me at the register. I really wanted the coat to be the focal point of this outfit so I paired it with a lighter hue of blue and a white pant.(both of this pieces can be found at Forever21) I wanted to keep it neutral so I just wore a nude heel. This is a great outfit to wear to a holiday party with friends or just out to dinner or an artsy event.

Camo Crazy ?

Camo is one of those trends that many people have a love/hate relationship with. You either love it or you hate it. But I found the cure for that. It's simple just add a pop of color! In this look I styled my H&M camo pants with my IstyleHunt blazer and a pair of red pumps to close out the look. I also wanted to add some texture so I layered up with my furry vest, it also adds warmth too! So you don't have to look so bundled up with a chunky winter coat.
