Hey all-
I had the opportunity to style some models during the Eddie Bauer holiday collection event last night at Tyson’s Galleria. WOW! It was beyond fun. Anytime Sade from 9tofly and I get together it is laugh upon laugh upon laugh. But back to the event. Lola Mendez from LAforce and Stevens put it on and it was a hit. I was a little hesitant at first because I haven’t worn the preppy outdoorsy look in such a long time but the staff at this store was unbelievably knowledgeable and ridiculously friendly. I didnt know much about the brand itself and this event was not really to highlight its history but I did learn little tidbits about Eddie Bauer. The Skyliner jacket is celebrating its anniversary and according to the staff, it is the first down jacket in the US. I definitely had to use that on my male model, Tyler because I love tradition. I am adamant about going back there and shopping with them because they provide such an amazing experience. Its totally worth it.
Bloggers were asked to style a men’s look and a woman’s look from the pre selected holiday collection and it seemed that every blogger had the same idea: LAYER. We all used the vests, thermals, tshirts and jackets to create our idea of the best look. I felt for the models because they have shirts upon shirts under sweaters under down coats with scarves and hats galore. They were such troopers though and very professional.
I had already made up my mind that I was going to wear my new “leather” pants from H&M even though its more rocker chic then lumberjack fab but when do I ever fit the script? These leather pants are to die for. They fit so well and are very comfortable. I wore mine all day from 7am to 9pm and was a-ok. They stayed true to shape and although were a little warm, I know they will be a staple in my wardrobe! Let me know what you think… I call it: Chanel meets Joan Jett, Comme-Coco style! 🙂
(I didnt have my personal photographer with me so dont have a ton of outfit pics but you can get the idea)

You look great! The fit of that jacket is perfect…and I am officially on the hunt for a pair of leather skinnies!
Your looks were really nice. We don’t have a real reason to layer like that in Cali, but if we ever do, leather will be included in my look as well. Great job!
Those pants look so good on you!
