Ways to style a denim blazer

Posted by Sophie on March 10, 2010

If you are looking for perfect spring/summer outerwear, a denim jacket is a great alternative to cardigans.  Denim jackets are so easy to wear and incredibly versatile.  Gap has a smashing blazer style denim jacket - Shrunken Denim Blazer ($88) that is very cool, sexy, and sharp looking.  It can instantly dress up any pair of jeans.  Just remember to layer with a light piece when wearing a fitted jacket like this.  Here are ways to dress up a denim blazer.

Burberry really nailed it when it comes to their trenches this season.  Really, do trenches have to be so dull?  Don’t get me wrong, I do cherish the classic style but com’mon… how can one resist these new Burberry hotties?  With a short, slim silhouette these coats are more like trench dresses.  You can rock it as a coat or dress.  Each trench is topped with a belt rather than the traditional tie waist, how clever!  Oh, the vibrant hues - pink, lavender, metallic make them even more smashing.  So ladies, here is a hip trend alert - trench dresses!  BTW, how in the world did these trenches get sold out so fast at thru-the-roof prices???

Chic Leather Jackets

Posted by Sophie on November 23, 2009

Aside from sexy bomber jackets, there are plenty of sleek, sophisticated leather blazers out there.  Not only are they great for work but on weekend getaways as well.  I love the tailored look of leather blazers with a silhouette that’s both chic and sharp.

Keep it dressy or casual, this gorgeous studded cropped leather jacket is fit for any occasion!  The pyramid studs are like jewelry in itself… totally hot.



You are instantly pulled together as soon as you put on these chic jackets.  Put on a pair of Converse for an easy day look or with sexy pumps for evenings out.

Fur Hooded Cargo Jackets

Posted by Sophie on November 13, 2009

Along with my shoe addiction, my other fetish has to be jackets.  That’s why I love the fall/winter months so much… it’s time to put together some lovely ensembles layered with your favorite jackets/coats. My yearly search for cool & hip outerwear gives me such joy, ya know!

These particular cargo, utilitarian style jackets are both functional and highly fashionable… kinda that tough-chic look.  The cozy fur hoodie and the long length make it a great on-the-go piece especially in very cold months.  Keep the rest of the outfit slim and fit, like leggings or skinny jeans and boots.  You will look so stylish under relaxed jackets just like these.

This winter jacket Together Oversized Twill Parka with a faux fur-lined hoodie is one fashionable piece.  Has the drawstring for a slimmer fit.  Love that!  On sale for $89 $119.


Super Duper Puffer Jackets

Juicy Couture - Poly Puffa Jacket

Is it winter yet?  It’s getting cold outside and I’m eager to bust out my cuddly, sporty-chic puffer jackets!  Puff, puffa, puffer… whatever you wanna call it… they are pillowy, soft, stylish and the best of all, still lightweight.  A slimmer fit is flattering or wear ones with a belt to avoid the boxy look.

Even fashion power house Chanel’s latest handbag collection Coco Cocoon has the “puffa” style.  HOT!

The quilted design adds just enough detail and sporty-chic appeal.  My favorite is the super soft & light Juicy Couture Poly Puffa Jacket with the removable fur trim.  This jacket will keep you toasty even in the snowy weather.

More classic white jackets with cozy fur hoodies.


Tommy Hilfiger Puffer Coat, Victoria’s Secret Puffer Coat

Long puffer coats offer extra warmth & style all in one!  Love the dark olive and gray colors.  These would look great over a sexy evening dress & heels.


Camryn Nylon Coat, Laundry Coat, Satin Long Down

Pretty berry hues to cheer you up.


DKNY Jeans Puffer Coat, RainForest Pillow Collar Jacket

Oooh… the gorgeous ruffle gives it a totally different look and that high shine flaunts such a luxe style!
