This is Maharishi X Berlinois

Another jacket post!  I know, I know.  But I just love this.  Just found out about this Maharishi x Berlinois collaboration.  And saw this jacket and just about died.  The fur collar looks so plush and warm, and the muted camouflage detailing, I'm drooling.  The back is super badass too.

Bitches be crying.

This is layered

I'm slightly obsessed with Carin Wester's Tuva sweater.  I've been so into oversized knits lately and have been scouring the webs for designer and vintage ones.  I've bought so many Coogi (you know...those Bill Cosby sweaters) this year that I can't count.

The Carin Wester one seems like a cosy piece, and I love how it's layered to look like a long sleeve underneath a Tee.  I used to dress like that in high school, and here I am again, wanting to make the same choices as my 16 year old self.  Life's funny that way.

The white is amazing, but I'm glad you can also find it in black (my safety color ^_^ )

This is batik.

I was looking over at Park and Cube's website, and I found 2 posts where she was wearing one of the most amazing jackets I have ever laid eyes on (that wasn't leather).  Granted, my muubaa distressed gray jacket is quite like this, but the batik pattern on this cotton zip jacket is so stunning and visually arresting that my eyes flashed open so wide just so I could fully remember all the details of it.

I really do adore this printed jacket, especially because of this color.  If it was in any other color, I probably wouldn't like it much at all...since the batik print is already so bold.  I love the zip detail..it's like the chanel-like zara jacket that came out this past autumn.  I would really just unzip all those zippers all the time and leave everything hanging in pieces to make it oh-so-drapey and choppy.

The one thing I don't really like is the intense shoulder pads...I already have such broad shoulders, I don't want my shoulders to look too much bigger.  I don't want to look like a football player, please.  Other than this factor, this jacket is on the top of my list of wants.  Thank you Zemelka Pirowska for making this, and thank you ParkandCube for showing me the way!

What do you guys think? :)

For some reason, I've been obsessing over faux fur vests.  When I came across pictures of Rachel Zoe's faux fur vest, I knew it was perfection.  I like the color of it with the leather trim.  It seems like it can be styled both dressed up and you can also dress it down.  Tough but delicate.  I like that combo.  The Halston Heritage vest is pretty righteous too...in a brighter color.


I just like that you can wear these vests with a plain tee.  I'm always looking for ways to glam up my regular black skinnies and plain tee outfits.
