21 WAYS TO WEAR A BLACK LEATHER JACKET

 Spring is near (it already arrived here in Mostar). When I think of Spring, there is one item that immediately comes to my mind and that is a classical leather jacket. Today I'll show you 21 ways to style a classical black leather jacket, from dressy to casual options. If you don't wear real leather, a faux leather jacket will do quite nicely as well.  I have this vintage leather jacket that I like to pull out once it gets a bit warmer but before it gets too warm. A leather jacket can be such a perfect transitional piece, wouldn't you agree? I'm very attached to this vintage item. My husband received it as a gift from his late brother more than thirty years ago. I feel so lucky to be able to wear it, for both practical (it's a high quality leather jacket) and sentimental reasons. As I always say, there are many benefits to shopping your closet. I genuinely do enjoy thinking of different ways to wear an item. It's not just about sustainability, I have fun shopping my closet. Moreover, I also enjoy shopping my husband's closet. If you have a significant other or a friend that doesn't mind you borrowing clothes from them, they you're truly lucky. 

FIVE REASONS WHY WEARING A LEATHER JACKET IS A GREAT IDEA!


1. It can be worn with everything. Seriously, with anything! Name one other item that can be worn with joggers and a gown without making you look like a crazy person?  Can you think of anything? I can't. A trench coat comes close, but if you wear a trench coat with your gym clothes you won't look as cool as you would be if you worn them with the leather jacket.

2. It looks fantastic on both genders. It does! It is one sole items that I equally adore to see on both men and women. A good leather jacket is not only timeless, it is unisex. This is good news because you can steal it from your sweetheart. You can share it! How romantic!

3. It is the perfect item to get any outfit dressed down. It really is. Like I explained in my first point, wearing a leather jacket makes any outfit more cool and effortless. Pair it with a dress and heels (or dressy shoes) to look both feminine and fierce. 

4. From a strictly practical point of view, a leather jacket blocks wind. It really keeps you protected against the wind (that was its prime function back in the day). It is also a great protection against the sun ( I see some of you thinking WHAT? but when you live in a region when sun can gets quite intense, you get it). When a day is hot and sunny yet windy,  it may be all that is standing between you and catching a bad cold.

5. You might get confused for a rock star. ( And who doesn't want that?!!!!) I mean does this clothing item has that badass vibe or what? Invoke your inner rebel. Wear it with pride. Rock it. Own it. Leather jacket can be a very powerful clothing item when you wear it with the right attitude.

    I have a faux leather black moto jacket with embroidery and many other cloth versions of this style, plus I have my full collection of leather jackets too! I agree on wind and sun, but they are also very good in the rain (especially with real leather - it's just skin!). You're so right - they can go from day to night with ease. I don't think there is anything that this classic jacket DOESN'T go with! Some awesome badass looks here, Ivana! You are styling the heck out of it!

    Your leather biker jacket looks wonderful with everything you've worn it with.
    Aren't you lucky being able to share your partner's clothes? Whilst Jon would be more than happy to let me borrow from his wardrobe he's 9inches taller and 3 stone heavier than me! I need to trade him in for a smaller model! xxx

    Your number one point that it can be worn with everything is absolutely true. I just love the edgy vibe of a leather jacket. While I don't have a black one, my ivory one goes with everything too.

    Jakna je odlična i djeluje veoma kvalitetno. Ja nemam kožnu i muku mučim da nađem dobru kožnu jaknu, ali imam crnu, ne znam koji je ono materijal, pa ću primijeniti tvoje savjete na njoj. Divan post. 🥰

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

Image
 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

As I believe the best way to learn is through example, so I'll show you multiple ways how to style an olive green blazer. On this little digital place to call my own, I love to show you how you can be more sustainable by shopping your closet.

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o...
