lovesit: new twist on an old classic

There are few items in my closet that I wear more than my favorite fitted black blazers.  They instantly polish and add the perfect touch of sophistication to any outfit, for any occasion.  It’s no secret that I have an over the top obsession with Theory, but there’s a reason- their clothes are just SO functional and flattering.  Recently I came across this updated twist on their classic black blazer so unlike anything I’ve seen from them.  The Bennira wool and silk-blend jacket has a draped collar which hangs just right over any blouse or dress and its slightly cropped in the back, making it a little more edgy than your classic jacket.  I can’t wait to wear it on the weekends over dresses and out for dinner over my favorite tops.  During the week I’ve been wearing it to work to dress up an ordinarily basic ensemble and over my favorite sheath dresses.  It’s featured on Net-a-porter.com for full price but the Theory outlet’s are currently selling it for $99.  For more details, visit here.

I love the combination of old and new, sleek and rough, urban and rural.  One of my favorite looks for spring (or anytime, really) is a Barbour wax cotton jacket thrown over something dressy, casual or couture and modern.  From city to mountain, coffeehouse to dinner, this look is effortless and fresh.  Barbour jackets are a classic piece first introduced in Britain in 1919 for ‘country living.’   Recently, these timeless staples have been tailored down to fit a woman’s frame, making them more flattering and fashionable than ever.  These coats have been making the rounds among NYC’s fashion savy trendsetters and spotted on the likes of Kate Moss, Lily Allen and Alexa Chung.  They are available for purchase here
