The New Staple: Bomber Jacket

Move on over leather jackets! The bomber has been the highlighted trend over the last several seasons, and it’s become the new staple item to have in your closet. This trend has spread like wildfire, and the Spring 2017 runways are introducing bombers with a wide array of colors and floral embroidery. There’s nothing I love more than a good neutral tone, so I absolutely love this olive colored silk bomber. Neutrals are wardrobe essentials, and their versatility will last through the ups and downs of trends. I chose to wear this jacket over a lace-up body suit, paired with black-coated pants and a Gucci belt. To complete the look I wore my absolute favorite pair of studded booties by Alaia,...

The Statement Leather Jacket

One of Marc Jacobs’ pieces from his resort collection retails at $1,500, and includes palm trees and flamingos – yes I said flamingos! For this outfit look I chose a military jacket that was subtler, with no major embellishment or patchwork. Although these army toppers are supposed to be worn as a slouchy, over-size fit, I...

O M Double G

Everywhere I look I’ve been seeing Gucci’s signature double G logo. The most popular pieces are the Dionysus GG Supreme purse, Princetown slippers, and the new leather belt with the curved double G buckle. Right now seems to be Gucci’s moment, and we can definitely credit that to their new creative Director Alessandro Michele. I bought my first Gucci pieces about a decade ago, and until recently I haven’t had the desire to purchase any additional items.   This has nothing to do with a lack of appreciation for the designs, but I’ve always seen Gucci as the more traditional style, which is not really what I’m looking for. This is of course until Michele revamped Gucci’s image in the beginning of...
