Acne Velocite Jacket

The iconic Acne Velocite Jacket - another to die for closet staple that comes out year after year (if you can afford to drop a couple grand...). If I could, this jacket would be at the top of my list. It is absolutely dreamy. It looks like you could snuggle up and take a nap in it, and even though it is soft and cozy, it still makes a statement. This is the type of jacket you could put on with a t-shirt and jeans - let the jacket do the talking! A little style inspiration is below, in case you guys needed any more convincing... Can I have the white/grey one PLEASE!?

 If you're like me, and probably won't be splurging on one of these anytime soon, check out the extremely budget friendly piperlime version below. A little splurge vs. steal action going on here, since I haven't done one of those posts in quite a while (see what I did there?!). 

Forever 21 also offers an incredibly affordable version here. Shop them all below!

Splurge vs. Steal

Givenchy Antigona Satchel / Rebecca Minkoff Perry Satchel

It's been a longggg time since I've done one of these posts, but when items this identical come up, I just can't help it. I actually recently bought the Rebecca Minkoff satchel, in this color, and am absolutely obsessed. When I brought it out for the first time, one of my friends immediately pointed out that it looks just like the Givenchy satchel. At first, I wasn't thrilled about it, but then again, the RM version is so well made and the leather is just gorgeous (especially the reptile detail, which Givenchy doesn't actually offer as an option from what I can see). By the way, this reptile version is on sale, as is this smooth leather one! Both satchels also come in a couple different sizes and a variety of different colors (and therefore a range of prices, making both somewhat affordable depending on your budget). I've listed some of my favorites below.

So if you're looking for an incredible, structured satchel, and don't want to spend an arm and a leg, the Rebecca Minkoff Perry is the perfect choice. I'm in love with mine and have been using it on a daily basis. Of course, if you'd like to go with the Givenchy version, let's just say I'll be a bit envious of you.

Happy Shopping!

SPLURGE VS. STEAL

ASOS Oasis Faux Shearling Drape Coat / Rebecca Minkoff Brody Shearling Coat

Another splurge vs. steal post... I just keep finding identical items I can't help but post about! And c'mon, you guys have to admit that these coats are literally identical. I am 2 seconds away from purchasing the ASOS version because I've wanted the other one forEVER but will not spend $2,300 on it. And the ASOS pick is especially good if you aren't a fan of purchasing real fur.  They're both so gorgeous... Which would you pick?

Happy Shopping!
