How do I love thee, military jacket? Let me count the ways.

When we say military jacket, we’re not referring to khaki green or camouflage (though, we love those too). We’re talking about a gorgeous tailored jacket with the perfect military inspired details. It was one of the most popular jackets we’ve EVER had. This little number sold out so fast last year that we scrambled to get more in and still couldn’t meet the demand. It is fall once again, and we brought it back just for you! We couldn’t help but make a few improvements as well, including a stretch fabric and lining for some extra comfort.

We love using this jacket for styling. It adds instant attitude and a certain edge to an outfit. The details on our current jacket have also been perfected. We opted for hammered antique nickel buttons and 22 of them, in case you were wondering ;)

If you missed out last season, now is your chance to get this must-have before it sells out again! And we can’t wait to see how you wear it.

Tobias Military Jacket $189 in stores now.

We can’t all afford to have a celebrity’s wardrobe right? However, sometimes if we’re lucky we can find something similar (and in our real world price range) that can make us feel like a movie star! Imagine my surprise when my favourite indie fashion idol stepped out on the red carpet in the same floral print as one of my favourite Plum Dresses! Check it out!

Get the look with Plum’s empire waist dress (on sale for $78!) paired with black opaque tights and some great black pumps!
