Hello, Moto

I am all about jackets that make a statement for the 2010-2011 fall/winter season. I love how they can take any simple jeans-and-a-tee outfit over the top; especially an edgy motorcycle jacket like this. I'm obsessed! This Miss Sixty M60 one retails for $78 at Nordstrom (though I can't find it on the site). The faux-leather feels great, and will be warm to wear into the colder winter days. For those days that you just want to unleash your inner bad-girl, a jacket like this will be perfect. If you aren't into the motorcycle thing, I suggest getting yourself some sort of jacket that makes a statement! They're in this season, so you will be sure to find something that you love that fits your budget.

Love,

Amanda

Fall for Marc

Today I fell in love with Marc. Jacobs, that is. To clarify, I have actually always been in love with Marc Jacobs, but today I fell in love with a handbag (just in time for fall!) It found me thru my daily ShopBop email this morning (featuring transition pieces in a fall palette) where I initially decided I love this handbag. While walking around Nordstrom later in the day I came across the bag again. After examining it and trying it on, the decision was made that I must have it. (Eventually, when I can save the $400 to actually purchase it. ha!)

I still love over sized handbags, but lately I have been into using smaller bags (or over sized clutches, rather) and small cross-body bags. This Marc by Marc Jacobs combines the two ideas perfectly with a beautiful, soft, eggplant leather. The style is classic, yet totally "in" for fall and winter. A darker shade other than brown of black will give your outfit a little more character while still allowing you to wear the handbag everyday. Let go of your over sized satchel this season, and go for a fun smaller bag instead. You will not have trouble finding one you love (and that's more affordable)!

Love,

Amanda
