Leather Trimmed Tweed – Isabel Marant Kacie Jacket

** J.Crew Sale :: Extra 40% off sale items (thru 11/18/13) with code STYLETIME and free shipping on all orders today only (11/13/13). So many great items added to sale! Like the Schoolboy blazer in awesome Beaded Tweed, English Tweed (wearing here), and Double-Breasted navy (I own but haven’t worn on the blog yet), Merino Tippi sweater in Houndstooth (wearing here), super cute wool fedora, and so, so, so much more. **

Who’s going to shop the Isabel Marant pour H&M collection tomorrow? I’m so, so tempted, but I’m not a good “push and shove to get what I want” shopper, so if I do, I’ll probably try my luck online from the safety of my own couch when it goes live at 12am ET.

Speaking of über cool-girl designer, Isabel Marant, this jacket is perhaps my best sale find of all time. It’s not from her pour H&M collaboration, not from her Étoile diffusion line, but her real deal, expensive as hell, designer line, and it somehow made it through several rounds of markdowns, a shipment to the outlets, and was still sitting on a rack during an extra 30% off promo for the holiday weekend. At over 70% off retail, it was mind-boggling cheaper than some of the more hotly anticipated items from her H&M collaboration. In the rare size 34 (finding this size at such a discount was really the biggest surprise to me), the fit is wonderful off the rack, and despite shoulders that need some time to rest after sitting on ill-sized hangers for so long, is in impeccable shape.

Good luck to everyone shopping Isabel Marant pour H&M tomorrow! I look forward to seeing everyone’s hauls on Instagram!
