Trend Alert: Bomber Jackets

I briefly touched upon the bomber jacket in my Fall Staples post about military jackets, which you can read here, but I feel like they deserve more attention.

I actually love this trend, not because I like bomber jackets (they make me look weird and awful), but because they're easy to wear, inoffensive, and there are gazillions of options so you can rock one no matter your style.

Plus the bomber jacket has been around FOREVER, and it keeps coming back in a wildly popular way like every two years so just buy one or ten and wear them forever.  It's worth it.  Now let's look at some of my favorites.

Classic: All Saints

Textures: Drew

Varsity: Rag & Bone

Patterned: PJK

Oversized: Nasty Gal

Hey everyone, I just saw 12 Years a Slave and once you factor in the $9 movie ticket to the therapy I will need, I am probably $159 poorer. That was heavy. But also so good and I recommend all of you go see it. Don’t waste money on overpriced candy because you will not be hungry. Promise.

Without further adieu, here are some new tunes.

You are probably too lazy to research the talented Johan Örjansson, so I’ll tell you all you need to know. He has released three albums and collaborated with American singer-songwriter Israel Nash Gripka Johan’s from the West Coast of Sweden and according to his website he is really only well known in his hometown. So, if anyone ever calls you a philistine, just name-drop our pal Johan. They’ll have no idea who you’re talking about and you’ll win. Works every time.

Astrid Engberg is a baller. We all know I have a love affair with Scandinavia, so it should come as no surprise to you that she is Danish. Her music is a concoction of jazzy vocals sprinkled with electronic backgrounds. As far as the video goes, did the Coen brothers direct it? Speaking of, who’s excited for (my review of) Inside Llewyn Davis?

Hope you had a good weekend Netflix-fest. 

What's New: Housewives, Seflies, Taylor Swift Makes Me Laugh, And More

So I've been incredibly ill with both flu and strep for like months now and that's why I haven't written anything and I'm the worst and I'm sorry.  But I'm pretty much back to being my normal happy, healthy, and chipper self.  So let's talk about what's happened since I've been gone.



Real Housewives of Beverly Hills- It's back. So is Vanderpump rules.  Which is basically the Jersey Shore but in LA and with hotter people.  RHOBH is amazing and I love it and it's my second favorite Housewives behind New York, which isn't even good anymore.  So maybe it is my favorite.  Plus Taylor Armstrong is gone which is good news and they have two new housewives, one I love and one I hate.  And that's basically all I could ever ask for.

Selfies- Tragically, the Oxford Dictionary has decided that this is the new word of 2013.  Twerking was a runner up, so it could be worse.  If you don't know what a selfie is, you're embarrassing.  Go away.

Taylor Swift- She says she doesn't write songs about every guy she dates.  Which means that she's either lying or a way bigger skank than I thought.  Either way I feel happy.  Read the article here.

The Notebook, Part 2- Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are allegedly back together.  This is amazing news for women 12-92 who have seen The Notebook and want this to be real life.  As an adult woman, I am obviously super on board for this because they are the two cutest people maybe ever.  

It's A Terrible Life- One of the greatest movies ever, "It's a Wonderful Life" is rumored to be getting a sequel.  This is the most depressed I've been since I found out Miley Cyrus wore this.

JLaw- Jennifer Lawrence has weird hair which is stupid but she looks hot which is badass.

Footnote:
A bunch of other stuff has happened but this is literally all I care about in life so let's just move on.
