Jessicas are so hot

I love this outfit from InStyle.com. I subscribe to Instyle's Look of the Day emails, so every day I get to burn 5 minutes looking at what celebrities are wearing. Like this one of Jessica Stroup. What a great ensemble!

Other notable Jessica's: Jessica Rabbit, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel... am I forgetting anyone?

Oh yes, me! Jessica! :)

Anyway, I think what I love most about this outfit is not only its simplicity, its versatility (I can see this over jeans, leggings, unbelted with flared jeans for a more hippy-ish look, etc.), and the fact that I love belted dresses, but also the COLOR! I'm still waiting on my Bali colored Love Quotes scarf (which is a similar blue to this), but once I get it I hope to use this blue as a pop of color to any outfit based in the blacks, greys and whites.

This blue reallly goes well against a canvas of greyscale.

My outfit tonight for going out in SF!

Here is one other outfit I put together featuring some purchases from my so-far-favorite store Ambiance in SF! I'm wearing this tonight to go see my friend DJ in the city, so I'm excited!

It features

• a tube dress with a silhouette that looks almost structured, with the pockets, but it's not really "structured" - the pockets are actually fake! The fit is form-fitting but there is an extra layer that make it look like there's pockets. I love this shape!
  
  (Also, my opinion on animal-print: I love it. It's definitely not for everyone, and it DEFINITELY has gotten a bad reputation because when people do it wrong, they REALLY do it wrong (ie. too much, too much!!) But I think animal print is such a bold and LIBERATING statement feature if done right. And it's going to be so in for fall, so don't be surprised if you see animal prints spotting outfits left and right :)
  
• brand new Guess shoes that are part of my shoe purchase YESTERDAY (my savings plan isn't really working) that I will have a separate blog post about
• the scarf is by Love Quotes and I got them from Singer22.com buy 2 get 1 free. They cost about $85 each which is a LOT for scarves :( but I am in love with them. I returned two of my three because I didn't like the colors (I got jeep and graylange). I exchanged them for "bali" and "cocoshell." I'll be writing a separate post on these scarves as soon as I get them in on how to style them
• leggings - I'm not sure if I'm going to wear them or not. They look hot either way, but I feel like this outfit can be summer-night-in-SF with them off, and more fall-ish with them on
  
• and of course, the crop faux-leather jacket I got from Ambiance. Perfect for chilly SF night weather and preparing for the fall season :)

Faux Fall: My Two (non)Leather Jackets!

I don't know what the two leather jackets I bought at Ambiance in SF are made of, and I don't care. They look amazing!

One person who would especially appreciate this post is my girlfriend, who is not only vegetarian, but doesn't purchase any accessory or piece of clothing made from an animal.

I'll be adding more photos to this post, but I took a couple of outfits from my last post and added my non-leather leather jackets to them, paired them with shoes, and voila! Looks that are very me :)

The crop black jacket was only $65 at Ambiance, and I have to say I was again inspired by Shopbop's "pretty tough" lookbook. I'm in love with the blue jacket, $75, because not only is it an incredibly flattering fitted shape, but the color is SO unique! I was torn between getting this one or the grey one I saw, but this blue just popped!
