Lust for Leather - Autumn/Winter 2012

Lust for Leather...

I purchased a leather biker jacket from Asos around 7 years ago now and OH MY has it had its fair share of wear.. I think I have worn it around this time of year, every single year since then.. It has taken me from one trend to another and is probably one of the most versatile things in my wardrobe. I do still love it, like the day that I purchased it.. And if I'm honest, I'll probably still wear it in 10 years time if it fits me.

This article below shows some fantastic leather pieces available on the high street this Autumn/Winter.. I absolutely love the main picture of the model wearing the leather dress by Autograph at Marks and Spencers for the great price of £69. Love how it is styled with the extra long gloves and sexy black ankle boots, making it look more high end designer than high street fix.

As this article highlights, leather is still going to be in high demand this Autumn/Winter and I'm a great believer that if you buy leather garments that are basic and not too overly fancy. They can be a really good investment to your wardrobe collection and something that you can easily slot into a range of different Autumn/Winter trends that can still be worn year after year. Leather has been around for such a long long time and it looks like it's here to stay... Yay!!

The Big XXX Jumper Dress!!

New Jumper Dress by Matalan..

It's soon going to be that time of year again when we are begrudgingly reaching for our warm chunky knitwear, as the ever so predictable cold British Winter time finally sets in.. However, being warm can also be cool and fashionable.. And this amazing jumper dress by Matalan is the perfect piece to add to your Autumn/Winter wardrobe. I love it's oversized monochrome feel and cool retro pop XXX logo. Mix it up with these amazing bright blue suede boots by Ravel for an Edie Sedgwick 60's vibe..

Available this Autumn/Winter at Matalan and Ravel

GREEN

The thing with this weather is that it's so beautiful and warm out in the sun, but still too cold to be in anything sleeveless. So today called for something that's a little more transeasonal.

I decided my lightweight, 3/4 sleeved jumper in a bright colour was my favourite choice for a Monday morning.

LEATHER & STEEL

One of the options for Amanda Keller on set of "The Living Room" last week was this one, made of leather and stainless steel plates. Amanda absolutely loved this one in particular and brought it for herself!

I love that it ties up around the back of the neck and is able to adjust to perfectly suit any neckline of any top or dress. It's definitely made to make a statement and really is so unique in the accessories world.

Take a look at more of the Toby E range on the website - http://www.tobye.com.au/

A/W 2012 - Metallic Jaquard

Shine Your Way Into Next Season..

One trend I am very excited about for Autumn/Winter 2012 is the jacquard metallics trend.. It seems wearing a sequin dress, skirt or top is just not enough anymore and a clashing of textures and prints, including metallics and jacquard is the way to shine shine shine this Autumn/Winter. I purchased myself a jacquard jacket from H and M in the sale last week and now I can't wait to whip it out for a clashing!! This article below shows a selection of high street must haves available in stores this Autumn/Winter... Especially love the baroque high waist shorts by River Island £30.
