Leather jacket: All Saints. White tissue tank: Forever 21. DIY slashed jeans: Levis. Boots: Vintage. Bag: Balenciaga
and this is how it went down:
1. Karen’s eyes pop out of socket and fall onto desk at sighting of fringed leather jacket on sale for half price on All Saints site.
2. Notices it is sold out in her size in black (of course it is).
3. Frantically emails friend in London with this potentially life changing meltdown. Pleads for call around of All Saints shops for her size.
4. Friend finds LAST black in Karen’s size in only one shop location. Takes bus/tube/walk combo to location.
5. Purchases last jacket and notices the price has dropped further (bonus!).
6. Friend posts over jacket. Crisis averted. Life unchanged, but just a little bit sweeter. Paula – I owe you….

I love stories where people are on the edge of losing the love of their life….
and then the jacket comes back to them at an even more discounted price 😛 😀
You might be the only person who rocks that jacket and the entire look.

The shawl and now this…I need a Paula in my life!!! (It would be great if my Paula could be located in London as well, and occasionally made her way to Paris for good measure.)
Love the jacket, love your style.

This looks amazing on you. Initially I thought you had it on with your denim cut offs. I think this would work ;o)

I’m such an idiot….last week I found an All Saints traditional style leather biker jacket….way too big on me, but only $5.95 in perfect condition. It wasn’t till I got home that it dawned on me that I could have bought it and resold it on eBay or etsy and made a killing…
