Khaki Jacket

These pics were taken last winter when it was minus something outside but given the current state of the weather I have been reaching for my parka more often than I would like. I bought mine last year from a little vintage store at £45; loved the fur collar and the style. My only complaint is that it's fairly baggy and not as fitted as I would like. The high street is actually full of similar army style jackets and parkas atm: MissguidedTopshop, Zara.

Here is another pic from my photoshoot a couple of weeks ago with the lovely Ellen Lai. Have a massive softspot for vintage clothes and this coral shirt is one of my wardrobe favourites...it cost all of about £3! My wedges were something I picked up from the Next sale after taking salvage in there to escape the rain! Love the stripe effect on the wedge.

Cropped Jacket

As per my earlier post on Jackets I managed to get my hands on this cropped, cream H and M number. The last one at my local store AND in my size. Fate! I am forever on their website finding bits that I want to purchase but most of the time the delivery date is weeks in advance and in store the higher end items seem to sell out so quickly.

The photos are courtesy of my very talented friend Ellen who took me round the back streets of covent garden for an urbanised photoshoot. Have a look at her impressive work: Ellen Lai photography.


Jacket: H and M, £29.99

Chanel style boucle jackets

Out with the ill fitting blazers, and in with the cropped and tailored boucle jackets. Years on the original offerings from Coco Chanel are scarce and only available in the vintage variety but if like me you'll settle for high street there are plenty of styles to chose from...
Lipsy for Next, £50
A classic black and white checkered style. I love this Lipsy piece and you may have seen it worn by a handful of celebrities.

Mango, £69.99
A biker style with the option of matching tweed shorts.

Mango, £69.99
  This pale yellow is perfect for a S/S look, finished off with a frayed trimming.

Asos, £60
 Pretty in pink with a patterned finish.
