RESEARCHING THE BIKER

So I am working on creating a leather jacket for my Graduate collection and the research is key. I am looking at what makes the leather jacket timeless and why, almost 100 years on do we still want to buy the same styles?

Statement Pastel

Dress - Topshop

Sandles - Marni X H&M

Clutch - Rokit Vintage

A cheap and cheerful summer dress from Topshop, the colour caught my eye and anything backless is pretty much sold faster than you can say furious!! I also have to rave about my clutch/mac case combo from Rokit Vintage on Brick Lane, it's made from a recycled leather jacket and I think it's pretty rad kind of like the sunset in the Sinai dessert don't you agree? More photos from Egypt to come shortly...

90's Grunge

H&M - Wooley hat and Denim Shirt

Zara - Leather Jacket

Easy Wear - Jersey Seamless Maxi

Hollister - Checked Shirt

Topshop - Biker Boots

Dyrberg/Kern - Brass Ring

Bike Chain Bracelet/Ring

The 90's are back, so grab your favorite distressed band tee and biker boots, pair them together with whatever casual clothes you have in your wardrobe and you are good to go. To get a real laidback style, I tie a checked shirt around my waist and let it hang down underneath my jacket.

December in Versace

So my Versace for H&M arrived a few days ago and I have been so eager to wear them out. I love this skirt; I think it is a perfect statement piece to add to my wardrobe that works with pretty much anything for both day and night, an all-rounder Versace skirt with an H&M price tag. I am really loving the leather layering at the minute and tend to work this look quite a lot to keep me toasty and warm through the winter months without having to totally give up on fashion and throw on a practical fleece lined wax coat. I also have to give a little mention to my fabulous Topshop Premium Pisa boots, Chelsea boot style + banana heel = winner!!

Topshop - Pisa Boots, Leather Gillet, Chunky chain chocker & Russian hat.
