Aztec

by Jen on Wednesday, July 18, 2012


This beautiful jacket caught my eye the moment I saw it several months ago. Upon taking a look at the price, however, I quickly put it down and made a mental note to just forget about it: it was way out of price range! A few weeks ago it finally went on sale, but it was still substantial amount so all I did was try it on, admire it, and put it back on the rack. D knew how much I liked it, and sweetly decided to surprise me with it the other day! Besides the sentimental value it now holds, my favourite part of the jacket is that while it's interesting and on-trend now, it really has a timeless appeal to it; it's the kind of piece that I hope to one day pass down to a daughter.




Wearing: 10 Crosby Derek Lam jacket (dress version here, on sale!), Zara dress as top (old) and leather skirt, BCBGMAXAZRIA shoes and clutch, House of Harlow 1960 sunnies

Ah David is the best! He is seriously always an all-around amazing guy and this is proof right here. That jacket looks amazing on you, and I can entirely see how it will work on you for years to come! Miss you girl :)

I agree that that jacket as a timeless appeal! I love the geometric print and structured shape. Looks great with that leather skirt and strappy heels. What a sweet gift!

Such a gorgeous jacket! It sounds like you might just have the best boyfriend in the whole wide world. I may pass this link on to mine as a hint:)
I love that leather skirt as well! Is that one current at Zara? I've been looking for one like this.

Oh my gosh I love it! I was so surprised when Aritzia decided to carry 10 Crosby because it's such an exclusive contemporary line. I think it was too expensive so it didn't sell very well. I believe they've stopped carrying the line, but I'm no sure. It looks great on you - it's hard these days to find such an interesting jacket.

You look amazing as usual! I love the colors.

Well, isn't he just the sweetest?! The jacket is adorable and I can definitely see why you were smitten with it. Dave did something similar for me last year and surprised me with a DVF bracelet I had my eye on. Receiving an item as a gift makes it so much more special.
