Gorgeous jackets

Here are three of the jackets I am drooling over at the moment, I am especially loving the two toned (peach/black) blazer from Queen's Wardrobe. I think it is just divine and will have to make its was into my wardrobe some time in the very near future. The sherling and leather jacket from H&M is pretty nice too, however I already brought my sherling for this winter from River island. The final blazer is also from Queen's Wardrobe and it just looks like the perfect simple and structure black jacket. When I finished with this post, I only ha done thing in my coas, jackets, and blazers. I finally went with this tweed and utility inspired coat and I can't wait for it to arrive.

They ♥ River Island

I normally do my trend post relating each post to a specific garment or typical trend that I notice in the blogosphere. This trend post is a bit different as I have chosen not a unique piece or item bu a shop instead; River Island. I thought it would eb a nice and maybe different way to look at the items of A/W that have caught my eye. I for one, prefer visualising items on people rather that on its one, this way you get a real for it and see its potential. River Island, in my opinion is amazing for coat/jackets and killer heels and boots and this year was no exception.

That is a wrap

I haven't had the time to post many outfit posts lately so I thought I would share a few pictures from one night last week and combine it with a small trend that seems to be popping up everywhere; Autumn draping. I decide to this as when the three of us got together I seemed to be the only not draped from head to toe. Now all the dresses I seem to be attracted to for autumn seem to be draped in one way or the other.

//WEARING// Jeans: H&M super squin (new obsession right now) Black transparent shirt: H&M Black top: Zara

Here are a few bloggers sported wearing the wrapped and draped  trend to perfection. Funnily enough in the first collage, all of their dresses and skirts come from stylestalker something that I had not calculated but I do have to admit they have some amazing wrapped dresses and skirts. I especially have a huge crush on this particular dress.

Suspender tights

Now here is a trend that you parents are probably praying they never see you wear. Henry Holland's 'trompe l'oeil' suspender tights took an a life of their own and were first spotted on British rock girls such as Pixie Geldorf, the Saturdays... and then the bloggers got their hands on them and that was that, suspenders were back in. I say suspenders because some, more daring than others, sported the real thing and wore them casually as day wear. Personally, I feel that some thing should stay in the bedroom or maybe I am just not too daring enough?!

Anyway, Henry Holland is a master when it comes to tights (special post on HH and his playful tights soon) and I don't know if I get (and like) them because I am British but I know not to take these little things too seriously and I actually quite like them and think them playful and flirty without screaming 'go back home and put some clothes on woman'. Even though this is not a new trend and has been around for a year or so, I thought the 1st of September was the perfect day to celebrate the steady come back of tights.

When there is a successful trend, there are copycats and Topshop came up with suspender tights of their own also adopted by our favorite trend setters. These are even more playful and less litteral than HH's version. But nevertheless, still only for the daring.
