Gap Boucle Moto Jacket

I ordered this lovely jacket few weeks back in XS for about $20 after using a couple of coupons.  I do have long arms for my height so I thought the fit was pretty good overall especially the sleeve length (I like it slightly longer).  The moto style zip opening is an interesting design twist although only one side flaps open most of the time I'm wearing it. 

It is very comfortable but occasionally the back of the collar gets a little itchy because of the boucle fabric rubbing against my neck.  This jacket is also decently warm in 50-60 degree Fahrenheit weather. I also enjoy the brownish color since it makes a good neutral piece of outerwear for my wardrobe.  It also seems like a classic piece as well that I can enjoy for a few seasons hopefully.

I'm a fan of boucle and tweed jackets because of its understated elegance.  These jackets go great with almost any type of outfit whether dressed up or down (mostly dressing down on my part). 

The Boucle Moto Jacket is on sale in limited sizes for $34.99 at the Gap right now!





Other boucle jackets that I love and covet:


IRO $495

Vince $395

L'AGENCE $675

Love Bunnies Ring Holder & YSL Arty Ring

When I saw this adorable ceramic bunny ring holder from one of my fave blogs Feather Factor, I knew I had to have it!  Bunnies also hold a sentimental value to me since I was born in the year of the rabbit.  I couldn't go wrong with this purchase since it was only $12.  

I'm also showcasing an ebay find of an interesting version of the YSL Arty Ring.  It has a pretty purple stone with pearl accents.  I did some research and found pictures of a gold version.  I really like it since its a lovely twist from the traditional ever so popular Arty ring that can be seen on many bloggers.
