My faux leather moto jacket I bought in college is literally falling apart at the seams, so the second the temps dropped below 80 here, I had leather on the brain. I hit the ultimate jackpot when I went to TJ Maxx on a whim after work, and scored not one - but two - amazing leather jackets. It's a good thing I practice self control, right? I mean, otherwise I might have spent a shizz load of money on leather jackets. (Note to self: When are they going to invent that sarcasm font, anyways?) They are like butter, I tell you....I want to eat them with a piece of crusty French bread. A bit of a splurge (and hugely discounted off that online price, booyah!), and ehrmagerd I love them. Worth every penny.

My boss pseudo-jokingly mentioned that I looked like I member of a lady biker posse the first day I wore this shawl collar black one. Perhaps the combat boots, zip pants and tee I paired it with were a little tough looking....I mean, my goal for the day wasn't to give off the "I'll cut a bitch" vibe, you know? This time around, I paired it with a light chiffon snow leopard print dress that I scored for a cool $12 at a thrift store. I'm still all, "Great success!" months after I first brought it home. I slipped on my fave new black leather booties (something about this dip in the weather turned me into a psychotic shopaholic), and decided it needed just a little bit of razzle dazzle. Enter an edgy-but-pretty multi-layered blingtastic stunner of a necklace from Sheer Addiction's new holiday 2013 collection. The perfect piece to top off the look du jour.

Not the most autumnally-inspired color palette, but I love the soft blues, greens, pinks, greys and gold in these little knick-knacks for the home and jewelry box.
