Lady Biker

This Autumn Winter, Alexander Wang shone with high shine leather and glossy biker jackets. Alberta Ferretti transported a masculine femininity with Femme Fatale leather. DKNY brought chic with generation-inspired leather, miniskirt suits and Calvin Klein incorporated minimalism with hour-glass shapes and A-line skirts.

The new leather trend conveys a strong powerful womanly figure coming out of the darkness into the light.

I thought an easy way for me to portray this was to invest in a new biker leather jacket. I found my darling one from Zara. It will be my new best friend at this moment in time as I sadly had to part with my old vintage one that had served me and my mother (previously) for nearly 20 years.

I adore how my new one has a gloss shine to it, meeting Alexander Wang’s idea of a glossy biker. I pared the jacket with my sexy-lethal pair of Kurt Geiger’s and worn look Calvin Klein Handbag.

Following the A-line feminine look I wore my cute vintage REDROCK Charlotte dress. I think the colour brings out the suggestion of autumn in bloom- fresh.

  

I wore:
 

Dress: REDROCK, Shoes: Kurt Geiger, Belt: Moschino, Jacket: Zara

Bag: Calvin Klein, Jewellery: Antiques

As you can see I have my hair in a Bun which since having my hair cut I can finally fit my mop into one of those doughnut things- Yes I am a proud looser!

And I'm off to the races Cases of Bacardi chasers Chasin' me all over town

This June was my beautiful friend’s 21st Birthday shin dig at The York Races. I had never actually had the chance to go to this event before, so when I found out this was what we were doing I was quite the excited girl!

First things first, I wanted to wear a big floppy hat that resembled Audrey Hepburn in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s- You know the one! So I was delighted to find a hat in Zara when I decided to get my arse down there to stock up on some Spring/Summer clothes. I really feel this season Zara have got it down to a T for summer party dresses! I also bought a gorgeous white skater dress where the whole back panel was lace, matched up with the top half at the front- very girly! My hat was black so I thought knowing English weather IT WILL, dare I say it, RAIN! I was right. Luckily I paired my ensemble up with a black tailored Zara Jacket (pretty standard thing for me to do) and some high- black paintent Kurt Geiger’s along with my Reiss Clutch and Moschino belt.

Although it rained the day was bloody fantastic! Pimms, Champagne, carvery and a spot of betting was what the day consisted of- and the very loud screaming, squealing and chanting on our behalf when winning races- yes we are very well behaved ladies!
