Studded Leather Biker Jackets

Leather jackets are a summer staple. Living in London I have seen so many people in these designer jackets with studded arms. They look so good. They add an edge to any outfit, so leave your blazer at work and throw on top of your shirt and suit trousers to go for after work drinks... Here is a collection of my designer crush leather jackets, and couple of jackets in a more affordable budget. I will say this though, when it comes to leather jackets, always choose quality over quantity, so if it means savings over a few months, I suggest waiting out to get a diamond jacket that will last a few years. 

1. Burberry Brit - Studded leather biker jacket @ net-a-porter £2,995.00
2.Maze - Delmas jacket @ nelly £459.95 - my personal favourite!

HOW TO WEAR : THE WHITE T-SHIRT

I've had my eye out recently trying to figure out what look I want to own next. Us girls don't just need party dresses and cute cosy jumpers, sometimes at work they turn on the heating... alot... and you start sweating in those mohair massive sweaters but then you cant take 'em off because all you've got on underneath is a bra-let... or some strappy tiny top that breaches works "core standards". Yes. Girls, we have to invest in impressive, stylish, lovely white t-shirts.

Again, you're welcome.
I've lined up my favourite white slogan tees above and matched them with some autumn winter cult jeans below. Let me know what you think ladies!
1. "My Mind" T-Shirt - £55.00 Casson London
2. "Miaow" Jersey Top £7.99 - H&M
3."Stylish runway" Graphic Print T-Shirt - £12.99 Zara
4."Army of Kissers" T-Shirt £15.99 Zara 
5."Perfect Day" Cropped T-Shirt - £17.99 Zara
6."The New Icons" T-Shirt - £12.36 Romwe.com

Jean number 1: The boyfriend jean
Denim Trousers - £109.92 D&G
Baggy, ripped, team them with stilettos. Rock and roll.

Jean number 2: The high waisted skinny jeans

Moto Vintage Joni Super high waisted jeans - £36.00 TopShop
I am obsessed. Work, play, with trainers, with boots, with heels, with t shirts, with blouses. They are VERSATILE AS HELL.

Jean number 3: The printed jeansPersica Jeans - £160.00 Pocket London
I actually spotted these on Louise Thompson from Made in Chelsea. I love Louise's fashion sense. She is like a little guru. There are lots of printed jeans out at the moment but these have stuck in my mind! Let's wait for the january sales shall we?

So there you have it, dress down Fridays DONE.
Hope you have enjoyed, till next time,

WISHLIST @ CHOIES.COM

A good few posts back I listed a Mickey Mouse Sweatshirt I bought from Choies.com. I was so chuffed with the quality of what I got and how good the sizing on me (I'm a 10-12 shorty pants at 5'5). I usually struggle to find clothes that fit me just right and buying clothes off the internet has been a bit risky in that way but I can't fault those at Choies.com. 

Here are my pick of the best party dresses, accessories and coats to wear on top... cause us ladies cant ruin our look by having a bright red nose now can we. No, we can't. 

1. Fine Belt Mesh Dress - £28.97
Not gonna lie but if you havent seen a blogger wearing or talking about this dress already then I will be very surprised. But thats not a bad thing. One of my friends bought this dress, they said its quite short, however, unless you're extremely tall I wouldnt worry, besides, you can always wear black shorts underneath, like these Black Elasticated High Waist Shorts here for £13.22. It's modern, its fresh, its like you have cut out geometric shapes from the straps. It's great. Look on the website for more pictures of women from around the globe wearing the hell out of it. 
2. Bodycorn Pencil Dress Contrast Lace Panel - £37.79
I saw someone wearing this on TV the other day, I dont know which show, I dont know what time, I just know they looked bloody awesome and immediately I thought, this dress is going in the post for choies.com. Love it. Looked great... whoever you were! Sorry.

3. Cute Swing Dress With Organza Yoke - £31.49

It's so cute. It's like a babydoll dress but at the same time I'm thinking it's like what one of the mermaids are wearing at the start of the Little Mermaid when they're all getting ready to do the show to showcase Ariel and she's not there. But they all look fabulous and they have diamonds in their hair and they're singing. I'm having a love affair with Disney and this dress right now. Perfect Christmas dress, engagement dress, whatever. Beautiful dress. 

4. Black Tassel Earrings - £12.60

They're classy, they're in right now. Anna Wintour would be proud of you. Go. Be gone. You're welcome. 

5. Black Felt Fedora (Women or Men) - £15.87

If you don't have a Fedora already I suggest you go buy one. I was walking to work today and I saw a girl wearing MITTENS. If you're waiting for the winter weather, wait no more because we're already here. No more time waiting, go buy that hat you want. I like this one. 

6. Metalic Pony Across Body Bag With Removable Front Clutch Bag - £30.86

Did I mention we are currently entering a phase wear everything hologram is amazing. Be prepared for this. This one is a clutch in the shape of a pony. Cute. Wear it and make everyone you know jealous by leaving them guessing how you're some sort of fashion time traveler who knows the trends before they officially hit Topshop... mysterious. You're winning. 

I went out at the weekend and I don't normally do this but it was bloody cold, so I put on this old anorak style shiny black jacket with my playsuit.. did not match... this did not go unnoticed as well. Bad times. Here are some snazzy jackets for day and night. Which one is your favourite?
7. Houndstooth Jacket Spell Black Shoulders - £48.88
You terribly english british person you. Sherlock Holmes eat your heart out this look is in. Classy, sophisticated, understated. Great. 
8.Splicing Fur Sleeves Short Black Coat- £44.09
We all love a party jacket. Its fun, it goes with everything. It's guaranteed cheaper than most places. Treat Yourself.
9.Studded PU Biker Jacket - £61.10
Just like a copy of the studded jacket a couple of years back from Religion but for a fraction of the price. Beaut, and its guaranteed to give you that edge adding it with a girly dress like the babydoll style one shown above.

Well, thats it for today, I am exhausted, excited... looking forward to payday (4 days argh). I will no doubt be buying that babydoll dress, ill keep you posted with a haul if I do.
Till next time,

WISHLIST @ AMERICAN APPAREL

I used to be a die hard American Apparel fan a few years ago. Back then the majority of my wages would go towards treating myself to a pink 80s jacket or the perfect pair of shorts, but recently, American Apparel has gone under the radar due to the massive boom of online shops popping up out from everywhere and mugging off the high street.

Here's my two cents into the great pieces American Apparel has to offer right now, and I'll tell you why...

1. The Easy Jean - £64.00 

As mentioned by youTube bloggers around the globe the easyjean is a great investment. High waisted, original and in a variety of colours pick blue or black and team it with almost any top you can think of to pull off a cool casual look.  Google for your nearest American Apparel outlet to see if you can knock down that price

2.Turquoise leather purse - £24.00 / Orange purse £34.00

A clutch? A make up bag? A purse? This mint look chic leather bag is the perfect addition to any outfit and the material looks immaculate. I am a huge fan of bright colours right now. Mint shades and popping oranges can make a great addition to any LBD

3. Various nailpolishes - £9.00

-Blood red: I recently checked out Chanel's new nailpolishes for this season and tried on a striking blood red which I have fallen in love with. American Apparel have a like for like for a shade of the price and sincerely recommend if you don't want to break the bank.

-Nudes: perfect for work, perfect for play. Understated nudes give you that chick look in the office that will leave your colleagues double taking

-Sparkly pink: Have you seen it? Really? Have you? My heart just melted all over.

-Multi Colored sparkles (mainly silver): Perfect to spice up your christmas outfit. It's fun. If you don't have sparkles in your nail polish box you need to invest now now now. Tutorial to follow... what do you think?

4. Red metallic gym bag - £14.00

Yes, it's really fourteen pounds. I know, but only online.  I recently needed a travel bag and looked all over the land of Yorkshire but couldn't find anything I really wanted for such a staggering price (and boy are travel bags costly), but I definitely recommend this one. It doubles up as a gym bag for when you're back from travelling. Small enough for hand luggage but big enough for all your clothes for 5 days (give or take). If you're not a fan of the metallic red wonderwoman style then american apparel do offer non-metallic bags for a big more dollar. Love it or hate it this is me all over. 

Hope you've enjoyed these little goodies just as much as me,

HUGO BOSS JOUR POUR FEMME | REVIEW

"BOSS JOUR pour femme is an elegant floral fruity fragrance inspired by the first light of day.

Feminine, elegant and sophisticated, the BOSS JOUR fragrance brings a feeling of confidence and composure to the BOSS JOUR Woman."

My top perfumes have always been Lacoste pour femme and Marc Jacobs Daisy, who when I was given the opportunity to try Hugo Boss, Jour Pour Femme, I didn't expect it to be my cup of tea.The bottle is completely understated in a milky white elegant flacon (it reminds me of 1950s Hollywood). This fragrance is sophisticated and classy making you feel like a mature, feminine, classy lady. I can confirm this is no granny perfume!As a contract to last year's edition of Boss Nuit pour femme.  It's been available since Spring 2013 and you may have spotted the adverts with Gywnie above. The fragrance was made to show the three faces of a woman; inspiration, composure and ease. Made with a beaut blend of white flowers and sparkling citrus, including lime and grapefruit blossom. Refreshing!You can get the fragrance in 50 and 75ml perfumes, body care lotion or shower gel. Sign me up for all three.

You can get the 30ml gift set for HUGO BOSS Jour pour Femme, as above, from Fragrance Direct for £29.99.

I hope you get a chance to try it, let me know if you love it or hate it below!
