6 Jackets I've Got the Hots for

With a Winter that officially started less than a month ago, I'm just starting to eye some jackets to help keep me warm for the season - and of course some that are cuter than they are practical.

I'm notorious for living in baggy, grandma knits (one old navy jacket in particular), so it is about time that I add a jacket to my collection that doesn't include braided knit plaits. 

I've been extremely attracted to moto jackets and all of it's variations, as well as the classic riding jacket. There's something fun about an exaggerated lapel, a mix of fabrics and textures, and unique cuts. Here are 6 jackets I'd like to have in my closet.

Vanessa Bruno Athe | $330.00 on sale

Love that this is a moto cut tweed jacket. 

H&M | $59.95

It's killing me how much I love the fact that this is an army style parka with leather sleeves, comfy yet edgy.

H&M | $49.95

Can't go wrong with a black faux leather biker jacket!

Tiger of Sweden | $299.99 on sale

Peplum + Leather + Moto Style Zipper Enclosure = Perfection

Paul Smith | $731 on sale

I'm enamored by this front open cut which is truer to the actual riding jacket - how unique!

Jack Wills | $149 on sale

Notice when you click through, that the lining on the back of the collar is pink! (Dying of cuteness)

Considering my real life budget, I'm contemplating on purchasing the H&M olive jacket with leather sleeves and the Jack Wills riding jacket. Such great jackets to wear all year long :)

Which jacket is your favorite?

In Southern California, we don't get much snow… or kangaroos.. or much sleep. I know most people outside of California laugh at our infamous outfit combo of Uggs and a skirt, but as we're all acclimated to our environments, it doesn't surprise anyone anymore when we see a violator walking down the street- and yes, we still think Winter is cold out here. Sometimes Californian's melt in snowy cities. Like the wicked witch of the west!

The simplicity of the weather in California can cause something that I call the "chill confusion". All the Christmas commercials with windows fogged from the heat vs. chill reaction, infinite Christmas songs begging the sky to fall with ice marshmallows, and Uggs. Lots and lots of pairs of comfortable, fuzzy and toe warming- Uggs. I tend to have chill confusion where I wear a blouse, with a sweater, with a pea coat and a knit scarf, and walk outside looking like an eskimo on the beach. Oh! And pants, you thought I wasn't wearing pants didn't you?

These past couple days I've without failure, been wearing the wrong sweater on the wrong days - either too thick or too thin. Inspired to find the perfect comfy outfit, came this set of sweaters and shoes. So simply and effortlessly chic. I would also need some mustard jeans. Can't forget the pants.

This is our California Winter, my friends!

It's so chilly!

Have a warm and cozy night everyone! :)
