Fashion Inspiration: The Book of Eli

I went to see The Book of Eli recently. While I was a little disappointed in the movie, I couldn't help but be mesmerized by Denzel. Ok ladies; get your minds out of the gutter. I know Denzel has major swag and we've been in love with those lips since Mo' Better Blues, but that's not what I meant. Sure, Denzel is a nice piece of chocolate eye-candy, but my eyes were fixed on that jacket.

That old, green, worn, dusty jacket. It seemed to carry him through his day, no matter what the challenges. A constant companion, protecting him from the heat, shielding him from the dry winds, moving with him while he lops off hands and beats up bad guys, this jacket did it all. I had to have it. Sure, none of us have that eventful of a day, but this jacket is stylish, functional, and perfect for casual wear. It is ideal for picking up the kids, playing games, hitting the store, or running errands.

Get your own Book of Eli jacket from Ann Taylor Loft for $98. For a more feminine look, this Long Ripstop Anorak has an inset waistband with interior drawstring and button tabs for cuffing or scrunching the sleeves.
