it's all about the giraffe

I'm not sure I'm show casing either of these new items here in their best light but I love really love them so bear with me ok? This jacket just called to me, in spite of the higher price tag (it was clearance on clearance because hey - Wilson's Leather - but that doesn't mean it was cheap) and the moto shape with large lapel has me wanting to wear this everyday.

The shoes are the culmination (at least for now) of my desire for riding boots. Specifically black ones with brown tops that fit a wide calf. I wouldn't say they were as comfortable as the Bandolino name would suggest but I traipsed around NJ in them for days after they arrived and they seem to be holding up pretty well. For under $100 (I used a coupon) they'll work for me until I find an even more perfect replacement.

Jacket: Marc New York/Andrew Marc (Wilson's Leather) ~ Sweater: Banana Republic ~ Top: Gap (also worn here) ~ Jeans: The Limited ~ Boots: Bandolino
