Whoever said that you can’t combine navy and black? I happen to really like these two colors together, as you can tell from this outfit. I’m pretty pleased with this leather-sleeved jacket that I picked up recently. I have a light pink jacket in a similar style that I wear all the time, but I love this darker version also- it seems perfect for fall.
I feel like this jacket leans toward edgy, so I decided to balance it out a bit with some classic stripes and a floaty dress underneath. Also, can you believe that it was under 30 bucks? It’s definitely a steal if you’re on the hunt for new fall outerwear.

I hope you all have a great weekend! If all goes according to plan, I should have a little something to reveal here on Monday. Don’t forget to check back then!
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

I haven’t ever heard anyone say that before! I see people wear those colors together often and think it looks great! :)
Me too! I think it’s just one of those weird fashion “rules” that nobody should follow anyway!
You look fab!!! And, I always combine navy and black – sometimes I think it looks weird, but who cares?! In the winter, I have a lot of navy sweaters that I wear with black tights – so easy! Enjoy you weekend, my dear – and I look forward to your little reveal on Monday (if all goes planned)!!!! :)
Thank you Jessica! Black tights are my go-to in the winter also- so easy since they look good with everything.
Hope you had a great weekend and things did go as I planned- come take a look! :D
what an exciting little teaser! hope you have a fun weekend!
Thanks Lydia- it was a good one :) Hope you had a great weekend as well!
This is so cute! Great jacket. And the cameo necklace is fantastic!! Have a great weekend :)
Thank you so much Amanda! Hope you had a good one too :)
i love your outfit! such an edgy chic look! your shoes are so awesome.
Thank you so much Akshara! I debated over these shoes a long time before buying, but I love them and have no regrets :)
There are PANABs?
(People Against Navy And Black)
Haha, yep, apparently! I like the acronym :)
Great color combo.
Thank you!
