the arrivals.

The arrivals leather moto jacket. Beautiful, perfectly done.

street style this winter.

Everything seems to be oversized and layered. I'm loving it. Just wish I was model height so things looked THAT great on me! I tend to look like I stole my boyfriends jacket if its too big. Guess other fits & smaller sizes will just have to do...for now.

Isabel Marant studded bomber.

Walked into Isabel Marant today to check out the new Spring collection and fell in love with this studded leather bomber jacket. Its padded so semi warm for winter weather. Would love to layer it too. Feels like butter....gimme. Of course it retails for double the amount of my rent! I need to get another job to support this designer habit.

H and M moto.

Moto style getting the best of us everywhere we look. I think this H&M lightweight version is pretty cool to add to your collection. 

Channeling RED moto style.

fall leather is here.

I know I always want to talk about leather, but I really think there is nothing better than a good leather jacket in your wardrobe. Loving the detail.

jacket project.

I was feeling inspired one Sunday afternoon to craft a jacket I'd been wanting to put together for some time. I had all the supplies I needed and a bit of guidance from my expertise crafty sister Kristin so I was good to go! See my process below and lemme know what you think...

Go buy an old beat up army jacket as well as an old black leather jacket for its arms. Carefully seam rip the sleeves off the army jacket for your arm pattern.
Open up the arm so its laying flat, measure it around your own arm for desired width and mark where to cut. Then cut open leather arm, lay under army arm & cut to make same size as where you marked.
Now pin the leather arm together along the edge so you can neatly sew on your machine. Remove pins as you sew...
When you are done sewing the arm back together, iron down the seam so its flush against your arm for comfortable wear.
Pin the arm pit to connect to your army jacket. Follow same process of sewing.
Voila! Finished army jacket with leather arms. As soon as I capture a picture of me wearing it, Ill re-post! I've already worn it a bunch and gotten great responses on it. I'm already getting requests to make more...

Supplies you need to make this jacket:

-old army jacket & leather jacket

-sewing machine (thank you matt!)

-pins

-iron

-fabric marker

-seam ripper or scissor

-rotary cutter
