When you hear biker leather jacket something masculine and heavy comes to mind, at least for me. Let me introduce you to my beloved and the heaviest duty leather jacket I’ve ever worn or owned.

When I say heavy duty I mean exactly what I’m saying – this Balenciaga jacket is really heavy, bulky and oversized, but has been my absolute favorite since I added it to my wardrobe.
If you’ve followed my style long enough, you probably know by now that I love pairing delicate and feminine pieces with some rougher elements. When it comes to my appearance I do embrace soft and feminine looks hence my longer locks are still going strong even after numerous tries and industry pressure to influence and go edgier and get rid of what makes me feel like me at the moment – my hair. Yes it is feminine and maybe not as modern but I love it! Same thing with make up. I enjoy makeup and no one is going to convince me that wearing makeup is tacky. Although looking like you just rolled out of bed and came to an event or fashion show might be the “it” look, I will stick with my inspiration that comes from timeless icons like Sophia Loren, Bridget Bardot and Catherine Deneuve.
When it comes to dressing I do love to have fun and experiment, so this Balenciaga jacket has been in heavy rotation, and I’ve been pairing it with the most girly and feminine skirts and dresses lately along with some casual looks as well.
Keep an eye out for more to come as I do love this jacket and it’s been a source of inspiration for some looks on warmer winter days and spring layers.
