stop and shop

We drove down to Pennsylvania this weekend to visit Jay's parents and stopped at Pat Garrett's Sheepskin Shop off of Route 78 West. We've stopped in before and always marvel at the endless racks of sheepskin coats, leather biker jackets and chaps and rooms full of boots, slippers and hats and racks of belts, gloves and fox tails.

This is a quick iPhone shot of my first purchase at the shop, which I made this weekend; a totally amazing leather studded women's biker jacket. I fell in love with it almost immediately and tried it on a few times before finally deciding to get it. It's got a removable thinsulate lining that zips out and has some awesome zipper, buckle and pocket features and details. I really love it and got it for an amazing price. It was the last one left in my size, so it was kind of meant to be!

The shop itself is really very special; definitely not something I've ever experienced before. I took a bunch of photos with my phone and have just started to obsess over using Instagram, so I definitely plan on doing a full post on the shop soon. Stay tuned!

I've had a thing for pyramid/studded jewelry for years. I picked up these precious little rings from Gilt Groupe yesterday, for $20 and $25, reduced from $38 and $50.

They're so dainty and chic and I can easily pair them with almost anything.

the eagle has landed

 

The Ksubi classic eagle denim jacket is to die for! 

I would really love to have a piece like this in my arsenal and will likely attempt to recreate something like this with my very own hands! In the recent past, I've studded a jacket and two pairs of shoes and while it was torturously painstaking, it was 100% worth it. A version of this jacket is the next big DIY project on my radar.
