Leather Jackets





Leather jackets are everything right now, they're one of those pieces many of us have in our closet to add a little edge or style to our look, obviously not forgetting that they're a functional piece also. One thing is for sure... a leather jacket can be one pretty pricey item. You could see them as an investment, you're obviously going to wear it almost everyday, for a couple of months, so your ROI will be rather high, but what if, I don't want to invest $500+ in one... It's always good to have more budget friendly pieces in mind, and here are some of my favorite wallet friendly choices. Hope you like them!

Let me know what you think!

Also love this Asos one, this Whet Blu one, and this Faux Leather Zara one.

Los jackets de cuero son un de las piezas más "it" del momento, lo usamos para darle un poco de edge a nuestro look, sin olvidar que son piezas funcionales. Algo es seguro... estas piezas tienden a llevar un precio bastante alto. Lo podemos ver como una inversión, ya que lo vamos a utilizar casi todos los días por unos cuantos meses, por lo que le vamos a sacar la inversión, pero, y si no queremos invertir $500+ en uno... Siempre es bueno tener opciones más económicas en mente, aquí los dejo con algunas de mis favoritas. ¡Espero que les gusten!

Me dejan saber.

Savvy Fashion



It's really common for us to live on a budget, be it on groceries, daily coffee stops, going out with friends or on fashion... obviously. It's easy to get lost in all the glitz and glamour of designer wear, and wishing we could have that skirt that just came down the Lanvin runway, but, reality is, not all of us can afford it... depressing, right?! Fashion doesn't have to mean designer labels, dressing on a budget just requires vision and confidence in your taste. It also helps that many of these genius designers have teamed up with major retailers to offer more budget friendly versions of their items. I'm a huge bargain hunter, I guess I just love the feeling of knowing I found a great piece at a great price!

For this budget friendly look I concentrated everything around this spectacular dress from Phillip Lim's collection for Target, the entire collection is amazing! I decided to style it on the edgy side, so I went for these very modern/edgy ankle boots from Zara, oversized clutch and super modern jewelry. The idea behind this entire look was keeping a super tight budget and making sure all the pieces are extremely versatile, so you can definitely get your return on investment! Hope you like this look!
