A few weeks ago while browsing Saks.com, I spotted this plum colored leather jacket. Since I put myself on a leather jacket ban (and not really wanting to spend that much money), I pushed the thought in the back of my head and moved on. A few days later, I was visiting The Westfield Mall Style Lounge and spotted this much cheaper alternative ($50!) at H&M. Obviously this jacket is not leather, but I’m totally fine with it while I stalk wait for the other to go on sale.

PS: I’m leaving for LA tomorrow and am looking to download a new TV series to watch on the plane. What do you guys recommend? Some of my all time favorites that I watched (and highly recommend) are: Six Feet Under, Dexter, Nip Tuck and Lost. Also, currently Keith & I are sort of obsessed with Suits. Brilliant writing + acting!

Revenge, Downton Abbey or Mad Men! I cannot even describe my love for Downton Abbey and Mad Men. Beautifully written and the costumes are amazing. Revenge is a little more campy and fun. All SO good!

The scarf/jacket combo looks like it was made to go together here, with the knit detail on the bottom of the jacket. Love it. Also – if you haven't started Breaking Bad, I would highly recommend it! The first four seasons are available on Netflix, and they're SUPER addicting (pun intended!).

I'd go for Dexter. Mind you, I don't know most of the other ones (we don't have them here) but I love Dexter (give me a crime-show any day).
I love your jacket, the color is fab. It looks like leather in the photos, I hope it's soft and nice.
October 8, 2012Mariel
You always look amazing! Gorgeous! I would download Breaking Bad…intense, but so good you won't be able to stop watching.

You can never go wrong with Nip Tuck. I admire your style so much! I think it's time for me to spreed the word to my friends who are obsessed with fall fashion and pinterest (I should have done that a long time ago. Yours is truly a winner and I can't wait to see what else you have to show off.

A leather jacket ban? LOL! That's so awesome. But you DO have some fabulous leather pieces. I don't think leather ever goes out of style, so that can be another excuse to buy more.
Anyway, love this look! It's literally perfect from head to toe. Even your hair has the perfect waves 🙂

LOST is my number most loved series ever, but watching the whole thing is quite a time commitment. Probably not the best show to start on a plane either since the first thing you see is a plane crash!! 🙂

This summer, my husband and I were obsessed with Breaking Bad! We watched all 5 seasons back to back. It's great and highly addictive 🙂

Breaking bad!! Such a great show. I also want to mention that Keith takes such beautiful photos of you. They keep getting better and better. You two make a fabulous duo.

October 8, 2012I definitely recommend Pretty Little Liars, Revenge, Jane by design, and Merlin! There are so many great Tv Series out there, it's so hard to recommend only a few.

I had to comment this post for once; cause I really adoooore (yes, I'm french so, sorry for my english…) your jacket but my really passion is TV shows; and I agree with you suits is sooo great! In the same mood you can watch Franklin & Bash is cool. But the best series ever & recent right now are HOMELAND for sur (Heidi is so right) Persons of Interest; Walking Dead (crazyy), Shameless US, Sons of Anarchy (ok this one is kinda old); If you want to see something more fun: Awkward is definitely soo cool, Once Upon A Time, Dowton Abby (english TV show and really great); Ok i'm gonna stop there, it feels like I'm crazy!!

October 9, 2012Amanda
not sure if you are tally marking all of these recommendations but if my vote counts, I recommend Breaking Bad to every person I know. the best tv show ever….totally not what I thought would be my type of show (a 2nd grade teacher watching a show about making/dealing meth??) but hands down AMAZING. from the other shows that you like, I def think you would become a fan.
