HELLO MOTO!!

IT'S SOMETHING ABOUT A MOTO LEATHER JACKET THAT MAKE YOU FEEL A BIT OF BAD ASS AND HARDCORE!....LOL. IS IT BECAUSE OF THAT SAVVY REBEL STRUCTURE IN THE CUT OR COULD IT BE THAT A LEATHER JACKET IS A GO-TO IN YOUR TRENDY STREET CHIC OUTERWEAR ATTIRE FOR THE SEASON? WITH A LEATHER MOTO, YOU HAVE THE OPTIONS TO PAIR IT WITH ANY OUTFIT– WHETHER ITS WITH T-SHIRT AND JEANS OR A FUN FLIRTY DRESS. WEARING IT SHOWS MORE OF A STATEMENT, CONFIDENCE AND DOPE SWAG!

DID SOME SHOPPING OUT HUNT VALLEY AREA IN BALTIMORE MD, WENT TO BURLINGTON COAT FACTORY STORE JUST TO SEE WHAT CATCH MY EYE. FOUND A MOTO FAUX LEATHER JACKET ON A MISCELLANEOUS RACK BY ITSELF, THE DETAILING CAUGHT MY ATTENTION. LOVE THAT THE MOTO JACKET HAD MATTE GOLD ZIPPERS ON THE SLEEVES, EMBROIDERED DETAILING ON THE ENTIRE JACKET AND A CORSET CUT STRAPS ON EACH SIDE OF THE LEATHER MOTO. 

INSTANTLY WAS IN LOVE WITH THE FITTING ONCE I TRIED IT ON, ESPECIALLY BEING MY FIRST TIME WITH A LEATHER TO MY LIKING.
ONCE I GOT TO REGISTER, THE PRICE WAS A STEAL, WHICH REGULAR PRICE $170 AND SALE FOR $50. FROM THE HEAVY DETAILING I KNEW I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO MUCH TO OUTFIT, BUT OF COURSE I FELT FLY AND HARDCORE WITH MY LOOK. I END UP BEING HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE OF THIS LEATHER BEAUTY!

"FRINGE WITH BENEFITS"

YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOU'RE IN A FRINGY SITUATION? WELL!.....I SURE WAS IN ONE YESTERDAY! HAD THESE COOL SUEDE FRINGE BOOTIES IN MY CLOSET WITH NOTHING TO WEAR. OF COURSE YOU'RE THINKING, "ANYTHING"....WHICH PROBABLY THE BEST ANSWER, BUT I WANTED TO WEAR THE SHOES AND A FUNKY CONTEMPORARY WAY! TRYING ON DIFFERENT TOPS AND JACKETS TO SEE WHICH LOOK WAS A GO, BUT COULDN'T GRASP IT TO MY LIKING. FINALLY I JUST SETTLED FOR MY FRINGE PLAID PRINT PONCHO. FOR A SECOND, I THOUGHT, "Alise, maybe it's a little too much!" AS I TRIED THE PONCHO WITH A PLAIN WHITE BUTTON-UP, IT BECAME A WIN-WIN.

MY FRINGE ON FRINGE ENDED UP COMPLIMENTING EACH OTHER, IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THE LOOK WAS INSYNC, PERFECT TOGETHER. WE SEE IN MAGAZINES OR RUNWAY LOOKS ONLINE OF A WHOLE FRINGE ENSEMBLE, BUT FIGURE ITS TOO MUCH OF THE SAME PATTERN AND NEED TO PUT SOMETHING PLAIN AND SIMPLE INSTEAD. THATS NOT EVEN THE CASE, SHOWING THE VERSATILITY IN A SLIGHT EDGY STYLE, MIXING THE FRINGE ON FRINGE HAD A BENEFICIAL OUTCOME TO YESTERDAY'S ATTIRE.

WARM COLORS, LEAVES FALLING AND SPORTING YOUR FAVORITE OUTERWEAR TO REEL EVERYTHING ALTOGETHER. AS I MAKE A CONTINUATION ABOUT MY "TOP 6 F/W TRENDY OUTERWEAR FOR 2015" 

INTRODUCING THE DUSTER COAT, WHICH IS A MORE LIGHTWEIGHT VERSION OF AN OVERCOAT. A FEMININE SILHOUETTE TO LAYER AND CAN BE PAIRED UP WITH ANY OUTFIT. WORKABLE LENGTH FOR BOTH PETITE AND TALL WOMEN. ON DAYS WHEN ITS NOT AS FRIGID OUTSIDE, THIS PARTICULAR OUTERWEAR IS A GOOD CHOICE TO THROW ON.

OF COURSE I LIKE TO WEAR A CONVERSATIONAL PIECE WITH MY ENSEMBLE AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN A CASUAL AND COMFORTABLE FIT. THE DUSTER WAS A PERFECT OUTCOME WITH MY LOOK FOR A FUN FILLED YESTERDAY. ALL I NEEDED WAS A PRINTED SCARF,  FUNKY SHOES TO OUTPLAY IN MY WARDROBE.

 HAD THIS DUSTER FOR ABOUT A YEAR, THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME FROM MY COUSIN THAT COULDN'T WEAR IT ANYMORE. I HAD TO KEEP IT, IT WAS SO UNIQUE AND VERY 70's CHIC...DIDN'T REALIZE THAT IT WOULD BE A BIG TREND THIS YEAR! WITH ITS SUEDE INTERIOR, FULL LENGTH ADDED BUTTONS AND COLOR PALETTE, I KNEW THAT IT WAS ONE OF A KIND TO HAVE IN MY POSSESSION!

THIS TIME I GOT REALLY LUCKY WITH THIS LITTLE FUZZY FRIEND, AT A THIFT STORE IN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, CALLED TEXTILES AND DESIGNS.

THE WEATHER HAS BEEN SHOWING ITS TRUE COLORS RIGHT NOW! ITS DEFINITELY (BURRR...) SEASON AND ITS TIME TO PULL OUT YOUR FAVORITE OUTERWEAR OUT THAT CLOSET!

I WANT TO SHARE MY STYLING PREDICTIONS WITH YOU FASHIONISTAS TO HELP GUIDE YOU ON THE RIGHT TRACK ON WHAT OUTERWEAR  IS BEEN TRENDING AND HOW TO WEAR ACCORDINGLY. 

MY TOP 6 F/W TRENDY OUTERWEAR FOR 2015:

"The Perfect Coat"

Marni blue coat

Burberry wool coat

Brown jacket

DOUBLE BREAST
It's all about more featured buttons on costs as you would say! Double Breasted Coat has been out from time to time...back than when Militants would wear them as a signatured look. Gives off such a structured look and will keep you a little more warmer for this season.
What to wear with:
–Pair it with a more cozy attire, such as: Chelsea booties, fun cords, chunky knit or denim jeans.
DUSTER COAT
–I'm loving how they are reiterated the overcoat as considered a duster, but just it being a little lightweight being the difference. With any "DUSTER" you could wear either way, dressed up or dressed down depending on your look. Put on a T-shirt and your favorite ripped jeans and some cool kicks or keep it sophisticated with a tailored pant and strappy shoe.
THE BOMBER
–A bomber is more relaxed for an outerwear, it usually come at the hip and like a slight puffed style. Good to wear most comfort ensemble, whether it's sweats, fun knit top, sweatshirt  or any form of lounge attire.
DRESS COAT

–Feminist at its best! This coat is a great pairing for any mini or midi skirt and dresses. This coat also, give you shaping with the cinching of the waistline. 
FUR COAT
–This is my all time favorite coat, I wear just about anything with it! Try to do stay away for too chunky tops and tend to leave the fur coat a little balky even though the fur coat already have a balky fit to it.

LEATHER MOTO

–This is one jacket that will never be outdated! It's very resourceful, chic, trendy and accommodating for any outfit you wear
*Good pairings
•Leather pants
•Ripped denim
•Tailored pants
•Fun silhouette A-line dresses and skirts

WHAT COAT WILL YOU BE WEARING THIS SEASON?
