THE BIG SEARCH December 16, 2013Dallas I have been yearning for this jacket for months now – you saw me post about it here on my wishlist, and thanks to SCOOP NYC I’m now the proud owner of said jacket! This Helmut Lang bomber is quite a bit heavier than it looks, which I totally appreciate given the cooler temps Dallas has been experiencing these last few weeks. It’s much more luxurious and elevated than other bomber jackets – the color combo is classic, but there is a subtle sheen to the grey sections on the piece, taking it up a notch. It’s the perfect piece for work-to-weekend, because you can wear it with literally anything (and it’s superbly comfortable). Check back on Wednesday for another way to style this chic and easy jacket. On another note, I’ve lately been on the hunt for a new bag – specifically a basic black Chanel with gold hardware (similar to the one I’m carrying in this outfit post). I’m partial to the caviar leather since it wears better and tends to last longer. I’m open to different sizes and silhouettes, but would love my next Chanel to be a vintage find.
