I need one, the snug little leather jacket that makes you look like you've just jumped off the back of your boy's bike. The one you can throw on with anything for instant cool - that thing that makes people think you've been out all night living it up, even if you've been curled up on the couch tuned into Big Love (um, yes, i'm obsessed). I've been looking for ages, i've found a few, Acne, Proenza - and of course Balenciaga... i've probably typed 'Balenciaga Leather Biker' into ebay about 175 times, i always find one, they're there alright, just not quite at the bargain basement price i'm looking for. So alas, i continue on perfecto less, but i've decided i need to bite the bullet, i need to save my pennies, stop buying those small things, wait a couple of months then invest in the perfect perfecto... cos it seems you need a little discipline before you can look all nonchalant and carefree in one of these. BTW hers up top is Rag and Bone, and i like it - alot.
