This April my mother, sister and I took a weekend trip to
NY. It was the first time I left
my little one for an extended amount of time. Even though I was leaving her in good hands with my husband,
I couldn’t help but still be a little worried.
I thought about her all the time and called so often I think
my husband was starting to avoid my calls! Facetiming with her helped me get
through it. Not only was she well
behaved but also she probably didn’t even miss me! Well the trip went better then expected and believe it or
not, I survived!
Back to the NY trip and it’s oh so important purpose: To
SHOP! I needed new clothes, shoes, and a jacket. It had been a while since I shopped for nice clothes since I
wasn’t interesting in spending money on maternity clothing and wanted to hold
off until I was back to my pre-baby weight. My sister, the fashionista believes in buying good quality
clothing and few key pieces. Her
philosophy is that if you spend a bit more money on quality and classic pieces
that you can mix and match, you’ll have enough to wear and be happy doing so! I
agree! If a piece is trendy and
you will only be able to wear it for a season, why spend a lot of money on it?
My main shopping mission in NY was to search for a new
leather jacket. I had my trusty
old fitted leather jacket that I purchased from Danier Leather several years
ago. Although it’s still in pretty good condition, I wanted a jacket that was
more casual. Since becoming a
mommy, I felt like I lost my fashion sense and I needed to spice up my wardrobe
a bit! The price of leather
jackets can run pretty high, but seeing it as an investment piece that I will
get many years out of it, I knew it was something I wouldn’t mind spending a
bit of money on!
We headed out to All Saints, which is now also in Yorkdale!
All Saints had a bunch of great options for leather jackets! I was really interested in a
motorcycle-inspired jacket.
Here is the “chosen” one! Connell Biker Jacket!
The Connell Biker Jacket is collarless and has a waxed suede body with a lamb vegetal tan sleeve. The hardware zips are nickel and located on the pockets and cuffs. The pulls and press studs are also nickel.
