Rick Owens Metallic leather biker jacket

I’m obsessed with Rick Owens leather right now. MJ just bought the most perfect Rick Owens leather jacket and I’m in love.

Now or Never has been very good to me this season (It’s over for this season people). I managed to get this Rick Owens Funnel Neck Jacketjacket for 75% off. It was the last one on the rack and it fit perfectly. I was in love. Initially, I walked away from the jacket and left the store, but I kept talking about it which was driving MJ nuts. I couldn’t get it out of my mind. A la Trent Reznor, it kept calling me, kept on calling me!

So, I went back and the rest is history. Afterwards, MJ informed me that this jacket sold out completely, everywhere.

This jacket fits amazing. The arms are a very slim cut but they are lined in silk so that it’s easy to put it on. The underside of the arms is made from a knit material which also adds to the sleekness of the arm. The double collar is drool worthy and I love how high it stands up. It’s like urban armour and I can block out humanity properly.

It’s funny because I almost bought this Rick Owens piece a TNT that day, but decided against it. However, fate would bring me back to Rick proper.

Miss Rowe swing coat

This piece is from the debut Spring 2008 collection from Miss Rowe. She was at the TFI Press Breakfast, which I missed. A lot of her stuff has a lot of volume but I love this coat.

An Elroy Apparel jacket

Organic clothing is just getting better and better. This beautiful jacket is by Vancouver native Leanne McElroy.

These items are from the Spring 2008 collection.

Dolce & Gabbana lacquered cotton coat
I love yellow so I was really drawn to this coat.

Isn’t the dress awesome too.

After New York Fashion Week, I’m so glad that Paris has gone the opposite of neutral; thy’re going colour crazy. Dries has done the best prints so far. Love him. Of course I’m loving the accessories too.
