“You know, Johnny missed you Dolly we all did” Penny smiled walking up to staff cabin having already dropped your stuff off at your personal dorm cabin you were glad to be back for in time for the ending show of the summer

“I missed you guys too, you throwin’ a party?” You questioned a teasing underline in your voice at the faint sound of blasting music getting more clear as you both strolled on the boardwalk

“Always, Johnny’s jaws gonna drop” She stated in a matter of fact tone a wide smile on her face throwing a directed look to your attire a size too big leather jacket, a fitted black top that rested above your belly button, flared jeans that hugged your hips yet let your calveshave roaming room, and a pair of boots to match

“I know what else is gonna drop” You hummed rolling your hips in a mock performance while the blonde made gaging sounds in the back of her throat while you snickered at the sight before opening the familiar doors dancing bodies moving around the floor your eyes peered around until they landed on Johnny dancing or attempting to with a brunette head filled of loose spirals it didn’t bother you sometimes you’d have to have different dance partners when it came to performances hell Penny had been filling in for you the two weeks you were gone and neither of you took it to heart but if either of you were questioned about grinding and rolling your hips a little harder on someone at a party to get the other one jealous you’d be lying

You split from Penny and took a hold of a random blonde he took no protest as you rolled your hips on him and he thrusted up to meet your hips with a matching rhythm and you appreciated him for nonverbally letting you lead you kept the pace building the passion back up in your movements before you hiked your thigh up against his hip that he grabbed onto letting you lean back while he trailed his hands against your exposed hips a knee in between your thighs there was now cheering and whistles building up along the crowd catching Johnnys attention his view was blocked from the warm bodies forming a circle around the attraction he left the girl known as Baby to go up to the ring of fire not expecting to see you dancing with someone else a grin instantly etching on his face as the song came to an end you you partner swung you up from the floor and you pat him on the shoulder in a farewell you turned to partway not expecting to see those familiar blue eyes staring back at you and it caused a uncommon smile to make its way to your skin

You met eacother halfway way smashing your lips together and suddenly the applause was louder than ever as your black painted fingernails rested on the back of his pale neck and his rough hands rested softly on your hips you didn’t break apart until your shared favorite song came on and you smirked at him in response circling his standing form as if he was prey and you could hear low whistles mixing in with the rift of the song Johnny mirrored your hungry expression as you ran up to his form your heeled boots dragging against the the wooden floor jumping into his hold and hips leaning backwards crossing your ankles against the back of his thighs while he took hold of your lower body before propelling you up so your knees were now on his shoulders your crotch directly in front of his face you whistled out to Johnnys cousin Neal who wore a cowboy hat that he tossed to you and you caught it putting it on top of your head one hand holding it down and your other arm imitating a lasso rolling your hips and whipping your hair on the brunette who’s lower half mirrored yours his steps precise yet loose and wild Baby watched you with admiration and well meaning envy she wish she could move like that

or even have enough confidence and courage to do so

💌💌💌💌 (begin; love is strange by mickey and sylvia)

You and Johnny stood in the dance studio he rested a hand on your hip as you rested an arm on his shoulder he purposely messed with you slouching his shoulder his arms loose and floppy and you snickered as he trailed down your body from your chest to your lower abdomen before shimmying away from his hold while he dramatically dropped to floor staring up at your form you swayed your hips to beat before turning to the brunette who mouthed the lyrics to your favorite part of the song

“Sylvia!”

“Yes Mickey?” You mouthed back doing a ‘come here’ motion with you index before trailing behind the folding screen you silhouette peeking through

“How do you call your lover boy?”

“Come here lover boy!”

“And if he doesn’t answer?”

“Oh lover boy?”

“And if he still doesn’t answer” Johnny was up on his knees now shaking his head that moved the strands of his hair you finally trailed from behind the changing screen locking eyes with the the brunette

“I simply say, baby” You took less than three steps before lowering to the floor crawling towards the man while he did the same in imitating the occasional guitar rifts until you finally met he lowered his head into your stomach dragging it up into your chest bringing the both of you up to stand

“Johnny?” You heard a soft yet carrying voice calm out in the dance studio footsteps carrying up the short staircase and your eyebrows furrow as he quickly parted from you Inching towards the record player and you look to see Baby staring back at you her brown eyes darting between you and Johnny

“I-I’m not interrupting anything am I?” She questions and you shake your head grabbing your jacket from a stray chair your steps that were once loose and non caring now stern and forward as you approach the first step the brunette calls out to you in return

“Dolly! I’ll see you soon alright?” He continues when you looks back to him after a moment and you don’t return his gratitude before trailing down the stairs the sound of the door slamming behind you bouncing off the walls you weren’t twenty steps away from the building before Johnny was sprinting towards your frame holding your arms since you wouldn’t have stopped walking otherwise

“What’s going on Doll? Whats the matter you just stormed ou-”

“Seemed like you had a secret to keep so you know, I just helped you out” You shrugged your tone more sarcastic than it usually was something he had noted over the years you did when your feelings were hurts

“Come on Baby you know it’s not like that” Your eyebrows furrow and you laugh interrupting him as he looked at you with furrowed brows as you shake your head in disbelief a fabricated smile on your face

“What the hell did you just call me?” You pry his hands from your arms taking a large step back a space forming in between the both of you that he was begging to fill you ignored his desperate attempts of explanation

“Johnny in the last fifteen years we’ve known each other and the last three we’ve been together you’ve never, called me Baby so save me that shit” You hissed before storming off to the personal dorm cabins

💌💌💌💌 (begin; I wish it would rain by; the temptations

“Go away!” You yelled out there had been knocking on your door all day at different time periods you knew it was Johnny and you didn’t want to talk to him and you hated that you were crying over it god why were you crying over that, that fucking prick

“Come on Dolly it’s me” You hear Pennys voice slip from the small crack underneath the door and for the first time since you’d made it to your room you peel yourself from your bed dragging your feet as you swing the door open the short haired blonde looking over you with a small frown on her face at your appearance

“Oh Doll” She whispered bringing you into her arms inching you towards your bed until you fully yourself dip and she takes your hands in hers with a small sigh

“Now listen to me Dolly, Johnny loves you like nothin’ else, you’ve been one of the only… stable thing in his life and he needs you. He only wants you, not Baby, or any tourist, only you. He was an asshole for what he pulled but I promise you as your friend that he doesn’t want anyone else but you so please don’t let this end you, so go get him, go on!” You nod tearfully lifting from your position jogging out of your cabin and towards his the numbers of his doors glaring at you

You took a breath before knocking on the wooden door and before you could back out it swung open and you were met with the sight of Johnny teary eyed his nose red and eyes puffy, his lashes wet he brings you into his embrace pulling you into his cabin

“Please Dolly I’m sorry, I-I’m sorry Doll, please don’t leave, please don’t leave me” He sobbed into your you stomach having dropped to his knees arms wrapped firmly around your waist and you pet his hair shushing him gently tears in your own eyes, running down your face, dripping from your chin, and onto his forehead

“You have to promise me, promise me it’s only me… that you’re not into her” You whispered and blue eyes looked up at you eyebrows furrowed

“I swear on my life I don’t see anyone but you Doll, you’re my life the only person who hasn’t left god Dolly I breathe you” He sniffled and you get down onto his level as you hold each other, rocking each other,

being there for each other.

Vintage Visions: How 5 Decades Wore Denim Fashion

Every silhouette you own has, at some point or another, paved the way for denim trend cycles that have solidified denim’s rightful place as a societal staple. And while denim is well-woven into the tapestry of American fashion, it’s been a long journey to get here. Jeans have gone from a rebellious fashion statement to a laid-back suburban staple, and every it-girl—from silver-screen starlets to chic supermodels—has had a love affair with this fabric.

Ready for some vintage fashion inspo? Take a trip down memory lane and learn how five iconic decades wore denim. The ‘60s: Welcome to the Wild West Believe it or not, jeans used to be edgy. The golden age of Westerns gave this fabric a bad-boy reputation, making it popular among rebellious college students and rough-and-tumble bikers. To put a fashion-forward spin on this era’s rugged denim trends, style your favorite rigid, classic blue jeans with heeled boots, a black corset top, and silver jewelry. For a chic outer layer, add a leather or fringe jacket. The ‘70s: Bell Bottom Babes Denim’s bad-boy reputation softened in the 1970s as this free-spirited era took off. Think peace signs, bell bottoms, curtain bangs, and great music. For an outfit that makes you feel like you’re grooving on the Sunset Strip, opt for a structured silhouette made with rigid, form-fitting denim, like a bell bottom or boot cut. Style your denim with a crochet halter top, dainty round sunglasses, and square-toed platforms.

The ‘80s: Hey, Mama! Neon, hairspray, spandex, and scrunchies—the ‘80s were all about bold, fun-loving fashion statements. The iconic mom jean, a style that perfectly blends rigid, figure-hugging structure with a comfortable design, became the hallmark of this decade. Nail this era by styling your favorite tummy control jeans with chunky sneakers and a colorful crew neck. Complete your outfit with a few eye-catching accessories, like a scrunchie or dangly earrings. The ‘90s: Street Fashion and Supermodels This decade was all about blending effortless street fashion with runway-worthy looks. Think New York City: sleek, chic, and just the right amount of edgy. As a result, ultra-relaxed, wide-leg silhouettes took off during this era, paving the way for other lived-in styles such as boyfriend jeans. These tastefully slouchy designs pioneered the model-off-duty look we know and love today. Pay homage to this trendy decade with a pair of relaxed jeans, your favorite baby tee, and delicate jewelry. Style with kitten heels, sunnies, and a lightweight leather jacket. The ‘00s: Fitted Skinny Jeans The early aughts were the peak of experimental denim fashion. Jeans of this vibrant decade were low waisted, bedazzled, and fitted—a fashionably far cry from their Wild West ancestors. For a street-fashion spin on this daring decade, style plus size stretchy jeans with a casual tank top, dad sneakers, and a charm bracelet. Finish off the look with a velour zip-up and call it a day. Whether you’re a ‘90s girl at heart or love ‘70s fashion, celebrate one of these iconic decades with a vintage-inspired fit. About YMI Jeans

The Ultimate Guide to leather biker vest

Finding the Perfect Biker Jacket Vest: Fit and Style Guide

Few fashion mainstays are as ageless as the biker jacket vest. A must-have in every fashion-forward wardrobe, this iconic garment has endured generations and style shifts. A stylish biker jacket vest can add edginess to your appearance, whether you’re a motorcyclist or not. In this detailed guide, we’ll explore how to choose the appropriate biker jacket vest fit and style for your lifestyle and interests.

The Biker Jacket Vest—Why? Let’s discuss why this biker jacket vest is worth considering before getting into the details. The biker jacket vest is robust and stylish, unlike other apparel. It originated in the mid-20th century rebellious motorcycling subculture, which represented freedom, adventure, and danger. Over time, it has become a versatile fashion statement that can be worn up or down for different events.

Arguments for the biker jacket vest:

The biker jacket vest is timeless. Its longevity proves its universal appeal.

Versatility: A biker jacket vest adds flare to any outfit, from jeans and a t-shirt to a little black dress.

Comfort: A sleeveless biker jacket vest is flexible and breathable, making it great for every climates.

Personal Statement: You can express your style and personality with an antique, distressed look or a sleek, modern design.

After establishing the biker jacket vest’s attraction, let’s discuss fit and styling considerations.

Finding Fit Fitting your biker jacket vest properly is key to a stylish and comfortable look. Consider these crucial factors:

1. Size Matters The first step to obtaining the right fit is sizing. Measure your chest, waist, and hips accurately and compare them to the brand’s sizing chart. Biker jacket vests are snug, so if you’re in between sizes, get larger.

2. Length The length of your biker jacket vest affects its appearance. Shorter vests are more rebellious and rock ‘n’ roll, while longer ones provide greater coverage and warmth. Choose a length based on your body shape and style.

3. Armholes Armholes must be the right size for comfort and movement. Your biker jacket vest’s armholes should be just right so you can move your arms freely.

4. Shoulder Width Shoulders should be snug but not tight. A fitting shoulder gives the vest a refined look.

5. Adjustability Some biker jacket vests have waist or side straps or buckles. Customizable fit features make it easier to get the right fit.

Variety of Styles After learning how to fit, let’s explore biker jacket vest styles:

1. Classic Black The vintage black biker jacket vest oozes defiance and sophistication. It goes with everything from casual to sophisticated clothes. Look for high-quality leather or fake leather for a smooth, durable finish.

2. Antique Distress, Vintage tattered biker jacket vests look tough and worn-in. The worn-in effect of these vests comes from weathered leather, fading patches, and distressed hardware. They’re ideal for a rock-inspired, laid-back look.

3. Colorful Sayings Are you feeling daring? Try a colorful biker jacket vest. Choose from deep reds to brilliant blues to make a statement with these vests. Let the vest shine with neutral clothes.

Timeless Elegance: A Complete Leather Vest Maintenance Guide

Few clothing items are as iconic and multifunctional as the biker jacket vest. This rustic, rebellious sign has been a fashion favorite for decades. Whether you’re a motorcycle enthusiast, fashionista, or leather vest lover, learning how to maintain it is essential to its longevity and beauty. This detailed leather vest tutorial covers how to keep your biker jacket vest looking great as new.

Leather Vests Are Worth It Before we discuss leather vest maintenance, let’s consider why these clothes are worth the money:

Timeless Style: Leather vests are timeless. They represent rebellion, adventure, and rock ‘n’ roll for decades and remain a timeless fashion statement.

High-quality leather vests are durable. They can last for years and develop a charming patina with careful care.

Individuality: Leather vests let you express yourself. There’s a leather vest for every style, from simple to blinged up.

After discussing why leather vests are vital to your wardrobe, let’s discuss how to maintain them.

Leather Vest Cleaning Cleaning is essential for leather vest maintenance. The proper method:

1. Get Supplies Get the cleaning supplies before starting:

Saddle soap or mild leather cleanser Clean, soft towels or sponges Leather protectant A leather or cushioned hanger

2. Begin by brushing out any dust or debris from your leather vest. Brush particles away with a soft cloth or leather brush. Pay special attention to dirt-prone seams and folds.

3. Spot Check Before applying any cleaner or conditioner, spot test an inconspicuous area of your vest to avoid discoloration or damage. After checking for safety, clean the vest.

4. Cleanup Gently Wet a sponge or cloth with saddle soap or mild leather cleanser. Wipe your vest in tiny, circular motions from part to section. Do not overpress, as it could damage the leather.

5. Rinse/dry Wet a clean cloth and wipe the vest to remove cleaner. A clean, dry rag should be used to pat the vest. Protect your leather vest from direct heat to prevent cracking.

6 Condition After drying, add a leather conditioner to preserve your leather vest from drying out or cracking. Apply conditioner per instructions.

7. Hang Well Keep your leather vest on a padded leather hanger or padded hanger cover. Avoid wire hangers, which can damage and distort the vest.

Remove Stains and Odors Your leather vest may get stains or odors from accidents. How to handle typical issues:

1. Stains Leave cornstarch or talcum powder on oil-based stains overnight. Next day, gently brush off powder. Stains from ink are difficult. Professional leather cleaners can remove. To remove water stains, gently pat the area with a moist cloth and air dry. Recondition leather afterward.

2. Odors Air out your vest by hanging it in a well-ventilated room. Add a box of baking soda or activated charcoal to your closet to absorb scents. Professional leather cleaners may remove tough odors.

Storing Tips Your leather vest needs proper storage to keep its shape and avoid creases. Follow these guidelines: Keep your vest cool, dry, and out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. To protect your vest from dust and moisture, use a breathable garment bag when not wearing it. Avoid overcrowding your closet or squeezing your vest between clothes to avoid permanent creases.

CHAPTER FOUR

Alec couldn’t get the image of Magnus on a bike out of his head. He was so distracted that he almost spilt a shot of coffee while preparing an order. Lydia was watching him curiously, wondering what had gotten into her friend. 

“Alec,” she started, once the rush had cleared and it was just the two of them. 

Alec hummed turning to look at her, an eyebrow raised in question. 

“Are you okay? You seem distracted.”

Alec shook his head, dismissing the thoughts of Magnus and the bike Isabelle had mentioned. “I’m fine.”

Lydia smirked at him, “It’s the hot coffee guy, isn’t it?”

Alec coughed, a light blush spreading across his cheeks. Lydia just shook her head. 

“Magnus,” Alec eventually said, his voice quiet. “Izzy said his name is Magnus.”

Lydia raised an eyebrow. “How is it that your sister found out his name before you did?”

“They’re friends.”

Lydia was about to say something about that when Isabelle walked in, a bright smile on her face. Alec’s eyes narrowed immediately, he knew that smile anywhere. That was his sister's <i>I’ve done something you’re not going to like because it involves your life</i> smile. 

“What did you do?” Alec said in greeting, making some of the other customers look at him in mild concern. 

“Why, hello to you, big brother,” Isabelle replied, blinking innocently at him. 

Alec rolled his eyes as he proceeded to make her drink. He knew his sister well enough to know that she wasn’t going to tell him what she’d done. He’d have to find out when the time came. 

Unfortunately for Alec, the time came a lot sooner than he thought as Magnus walked into the shop just as Alec was handing Isabelle her coffee. Alec stared as Magnus was wearing a leather biker jacket. Alec had seen Magnus in various coloured, very well-fitting suits, which had admittedly not helped with his crush because well, the hot man was wearing a well-fitting suit, there wasn’t much Alec could do to avoid the power of that entire look. This, however, was different. Alec had never seen Magnus in any form of coat other than his suit jacket so seeing him in a sparkly blue and white biker jacket made his heart race and his palms sweat. 

“Isabelle,” Magnus greeted, kissing her cheek and Alec promptly turned to prepare the drink, trying to ignore the flare-up of jealousy he could feel. 

“Magnus,” Isabelle replied. “Sorry I can’t stay, I really have to study.”

Magnus nodded, “Of course, work is important. Besides, I’m sure your gorgeous brother can keep me company.” 

“When did Jace get here?” Alec asked, glancing over at Lydia who gawked at him like he had suddenly grown three heads. 

Isabelle laughed, and Alec heard Magnus’s soft chuckle. “I meant you, darling,” Magnus stated, catching Alec’s eye. 

Alec blinked and then flushed a deep red as he promptly dropped a shot glass, the sound echoing through the cafe.  

“Sorry,” Alec mumbled, heading to the back to grab the supplies to clean up only to be stopped by Lydia. 

“I’ve got it. You stay and keep him company.” 

Alec glared after her as she disappeared into the back. He took a deep breath and turned around, a small embarrassed smile on his face. He and Magnus stared at each other for a moment before they were pulled back to reality by Isabelle.

“Okay, I’m off.” 

“Remember to take small breaks and to eat,” Alec called after her. 

“Good advice,” Magnus said, leaning against the counter as Alec made the man’s drink. 

Alec hummed, “She’s pretty good at remembering to be honest. I never did.”

Magnus raised an eyebrow in question. “Oh?”

Alec hummed, “I was studying law and when it came up to exam time, I was so focused on the work that I would forget to eat. Izzy and our brother Jace would have to come and drag me away every so often.”

Alec was surprised at how easily he could talk to Magnus like this. That came crashing down when he turned back from the coffee machine and came face to face with the man and his ability to talk suddenly left him. He should have known that looking at Magnus would do that. Alec cleared his throat as he handed the drink over. Before he had a chance to say anything, Magnus spoke. 

“So, Alexander, your sister tells me you like motorbikes.”

Alec blinked, “Yes?” 

Magnus hummed, pulling his phone from his pocket and scrolling through it before turning it for Alec to see. “This is my baby,” Magnus stated, a smile spreading across his face. 

The bike was beautiful, the blue and the white blended together perfectly. But what caught Alec’s eye was the man on the bike. Magnus was straddling his bike, his helmet balanced on the seat in front of him. He was wearing the same jacket he wore to the shop and matching trousers. His eyes seemed to shine as he laughed at the camera and Alec’s heart began to race. Fuck, the man was gorgeous. 

“Why thank you,” Magnus replied, putting the phone away making Alec freeze. 

“Did I…?” he mumbled, stumbling slightly over the words. 

“Yes, darling, you did say it out loud.” 

Alec turned red once again, feeling the need to apologise. Before he got the chance though, Magnus spoke. 

“I’m heading out of town for the next few days, so I won’t see you until I get back.”

Alec nodded, wondering why the man was telling him this piece of information. Magnus picked up his cup and waved to Lydia who she was standing in the doorway to the office before heading for the door. 

“Don’t forget about me, Alexander,” he said, turning back and winking at him before leaving the shop. 

Alec watched him leave before banging his head on the counter with a groan. Like he was ever going to forget Magnus, especially in that jacket. 

“You know,” Lydia said as she walked past, “I’m sure, if you asked him nicely he’d fuck you while wearing that jacket.”

Lydia cackled as she dodged the cleaning cloth Alec threw at her, as he grumbled about needing new friends under his breath.

Aesthetics Ref - HF Bros

Nickname: Brick (Horrorfell Sans)

Height: 1’8” taller than you (OR 6’7”)

Eye-lights: Determination Red (#FF0000, magic otherwise manifests brick-dust red [#B06764])

Magic Specialty: Red

Scars/distinguishing marks: A very large and obvious hole in the left side of his skull, only the left eye-socket can manifest a light, gold tooth (left canine), defensive nicks along his forearms; three gold(-plated) pins in his jaw on the right to hold the hinge in place; a deep spiderweb of cracks in his vertebrae, glowing red through the bone, deepest and most open at the center

Preferred Style: Casual tough guy, after his injuries and the growth spurt he no longer has to try as hard to look intimidating—he just sorta is now—so while he still likes to look like a bad guy to mess with, he’s not as focused on maintaining it, or concerned if something doesn’t quite fit that image. Favors black and red, flannel, geometric patterns, and cables (knitwear).

Outerwear: He’s still got his fur-hooded bomber jacket, with a couple new holes and tears but it still looks good and even fits a little better now so it’s not going anywhere; a few flannels that he wears open and which lack sleeves (they were too short and he either cut or ripped them off, prime ‘i flexed and the sleeves fell off’ fodder); cabled sweaters (sleeves intact, they fit perfect since he made them himself), usually turtleneck

Top: Oversized t-shirts, bowling shirts (his idea of ‘special occasion’ wear)

Bottom: Athletic shorts, sweatpants, some baggy jeans that rarely get worn

Footwear: Basketball sneakers (retro Jordans), one or two pairs of big, clunky biker boots just ‘cause

Trademark accessory/accessories: His jacket is pretty iconic, so it counts, but the tooth/jaw-pins combo deserves a mention too—one’s a vanity and the other’s medically necessary, but he’s personally pretty fond of the way they coordinate with each other.

-

Nickname: King (Horrorfell Papyrus)

Height: 2’7” taller than you (OR 7’6”)

Eye-lights: Crown of Thorns red (#7A3535)

Magic Specialty: Red, yellow, blue, green

Scars/distinguishing marks: Three claw-marks over his left eye-socket, some defensive nicks on his forearms and one deeper crack along his left humerus; heavy scarring on his ribs and sternum, one of his false ribs broken off halfway through; faint striations in the color of his bones along his humeri, femur, and spine; right leg is missing below the knee, replaced with a prosthetic

Preferred Style: Tall, dark, and pointy, his whole look is about seeming as unapproachable as possible. Anything that might invite attention or conversation is a no-go, which means most of his wardrobe is just simple black on black and he likes it that way. …Mostly, anyway—he actually finds his body type hard to dress to his satisfaction and generally prefers to go blackout to side-step needing the stuff he actually likes tailored to fit him properly (it’s pure vanity, he can’t justify it to himself…yet). Favors black, but if he always dressed the way he wanted to, red and gold and silver, too, as well as vertical stripes and complex patterns (i.e., damask, paisley, acanthus).

Outerwear: Leather jackets, usually biker style and some with patterned stitching but most plain black; when he wears them, he tends to just have them around his shoulders without putting his arms through

Top: Button shirts, occasionally silk and satin, and plain pullovers. He always tends toward long-sleeved shirts, some which are actually properly tailored to fit, but the rest he rucks or rolls the sleeves up to the elbow so it’s less noticeable

Bottom: High-waisted pants (for tucking extra shirttails into), mostly narrow or tapered leg but a few that have more of a flared bootcut (for when he wants his prosthetic covered)

Footwear: Some tennis shoes for work but lots and lots of boots—black leather, knee-high or taller, no ostentations and no heels (he hardly needs them)

Trademark accessory/accessories: He does still have his red scarf, which is one, but though his prosthetic leg is technically a medical device, it counts too because of the way he likes to add flair to it��extremely cool decals like skulls and flames and snakes and roses. He doesn’t show them off to just anyone but they’re a neat little window into his (mostly hidden) personality when they’re on display.
