Fashion Find: Talula AKASAKA Jacket | Aritzia

I just wanted to share a recent purchase of mine, to maybe help others decide if they want this piece or just want some information on it (sizing, price etc.).

Talula AKASAKA Jacket | Aritzia in SKYLIGHT

 So I was browsing online, as I do, and I came across this jacket on Aritzia’s website. I probably wouldn’t have been interested if the display picture was in any of the other colours. I just had to check it out because the colour is just my type (pastel duh). I sat on the idea and price for a while before getting it because I really didn't want to spend that much, but in the end I caved and I think I will get a lot of use out of it, starting tomorrow!

The brand is Talula. It is $120, which is on the pricey side, especially for what it is, but I justified getting it because one can always use another spring/summer jacket.  It can be layered over a sweater or worn on its own. I love the pastel blue colour and military style.  I got it in a size small, it fits loosely with room for a thin sweater underneath (I am not petite by any means so if you are, I suggest going even smaller). I got it in the colour "skylight". I went to the store after I saw it online to see if they had it in stock because I am not a fan of paying for shipping. They didn’t have the colour in-store, but I tried on the same style to find my size. Then they ordered it in for me from the warehouse, you just have to prepay and it takes 5-7 days to get delivered to the store for you to pick up. So fast forward 5 days and I now have my new jacket! Picture below is me with it on (not a very good picture, but for the purpose of showing the jacket, will do).

If you watch Pretty Little Liars Ali is wearing a similar style jacket in a charcoal grey colour in the season finale episode "A is for Answers". I tried searching for which jacket she was wearing, but couldn't find it. It could very well be the same jacket. I saw the jacket on Aritzia first and then recognized it while watching the show. And obviously if it's on PLL you know it's pretty fashionable, so that made me slightly even more excited that I decided to get it.

 

Let me know if you have this jacket and how you like it and if you know what brand the jacket Ali from PLL is wearing.

Thanks for reading! Cheers!
