Beara Beara carries quality leather bags in classic preppy styles. When I was checking out I noticed that they offer engraving services. You can choose between a gold embossing or just regular embossed engraving. And I have to admit, I initially wasn’t sure whether or not this would turn out well. But after I received my bag in the mail I fell in LOVE with the gold initials. Now I kind of wish I could get my initials engraved on EVERY bag I own.

There’s something about seeing your name on a product that just feels…so satisfying. If you’re looking for a holiday gift idea, I think a customized Beara Beara bag is the perfect present. 

A huge part of what makes me LOVE fall fashion are the coats. I think my Stedman, a menswear-inspired wool coat by Aritzia, pairs perfectly with the studious vibe of the Santa Anna leather satchel. I chose the small size because I wanted something I could use on the day to day without worrying about it being too heavy or big. I used this bag for work today and it actually fit my agenda, a bullet journal, a laptop charger, a hard drive, as well as my essentials (wallet, keys, phone). I’m glad I got this size rather than the mini size because it’s still a versatile bag at this size.

BB was nice enough to offer me a 10% discount code to my readers. Just use the code ‘bbangel’ at checkout!

I actually got another bag from them that I am OBSESSED with as well, but we’ll save that for (another) rainy day.

Until next time,

I know ASOS had some great ones, which I included down below, as well as Steve Madden and Lulus. Don’t know how long this trend is going to stick around but I think this would be a great shoe to have this S/W season.

How have you paired your leather slippers?

More soon,

This is my third leather that I’ve bought for myself and I am absolutely obsessed! I know what you guys are thinking… Angel you already own the Mackage Rumer jacket (which is pretty much the pebbled leather version of this jacket) so why in the world did you buy the Florica. WELL MY FRIENDS… because it’s an obsession I guess.

This is how I justified it: Although the cut of the jacket is almost identical to the Rumer, because it is made with a softer calfskin leather, it embodies a much more relaxed look than the thick pebbled leather of the Rumer. I find that my Rumer is the perfect jacket to dress up any look due to its loud pebbled leather and bright silver hardware. Everything on the Florica is much more toned-down, from the gunmetal hardware to the smooth leather. It moulds into any outfit perfectly rather than stand alone as a statement piece like the Rumer does. 

And that’s more than enough of a reason for me to invest in this beauty _. 

If any of you were wondering I bought a XXS in the Florica because it does fit a lot looser than the Rumer due to the Calfskin. I’ve also learned my lesson with my Kenya jacket, which is made of the same beautiful leather as the Florica, that calfskin tends to stretch A LOT more than the thicker pebbled leather. So taking that in mind I went for the smallest size so that it’ll stretch and mould to my body as I wear it. Between the 3 Mackage leathers, I definitely have always loved my Rumer the most.  But I’m not going to lie, I can sense that I will be reaching for the Florica A LOT as well due to its versatility and muted, but still badass, vibe. 

Oh and if you were wondering, my top is from Aritzia, jeans are by BDG from Urban Outfitters, and shoes are Alexander Wang!

Hope you guys are having a good week so far! Happy hump day! 

More soon, 

WHERE DID THE SUN GO VANCOUVER? Y U DO THIS T_T

Before finals season was over for everyone, Vancouver was BEAUTIFUL. Super sunny and warm. Warm enough that I could put on a dress and feel fine. BUT… of course now after everyone has finished their finals and are ready for Summer, Vancouver has to go and be a total asshole and get cold, gloomy, and cloudy. At least it isn’t raining I guess.. ):

This outfit, and variations of it, is/are definitely something I wear constantly during the fall season. But since the weather lately has been so crappy, I was forced to whip it out again.

I remember when everyone used to wear these Adidas zip-ups. So I decided to whip mine out again! I have a baby blue one … thought it was appropriate for the Spring. And I wanted to add SOME colour to my gloomy outfit to up my mood a little.
