I love proving myself right, and to show you all i was not talking nonsense in my earlier post, Vogue agrees! Leathers, velvets and knits were published in their very wn Vogue loves issue, and if the gods of fashion say so, it MUST be so! Enjoy the pictures.

One thing i have to post because I love them so much, these Ankle boots from Zara are just phenomenal. The chunky heel is beautiful and the dark leather kind of fits in with the luxurious theme? The exterior is 100% cow leather, the interior 100% goat skin...A vegetarian's worst shoe I imagine.
Another store that never seems to disappoint, or shut it's doors in that respect is the now hugely popular online store ASOS.com. I love it, personally, I can find absolutely anything on their, with a wide variety of prices and brands. This particular coat I've chosen had only recently become 'cool'. It's been to every single festival this year and some of the fashion elite have been seen wearing it. A great British favourite, ironically, my mother used to make me wear them when we went to the stables, and i hated it! However, my new liking to grandad fashion has led me straight to their waxed armholes. And I am surprisingly comfortable in there. Barbour jackets just had to feature on my list.
Barbour defence wax belted jacket £199 |
Sandro Vendetta alpaca and wool blend jacket £325 |
Yves Saint Laurent high waisted leather skirt £1,430 |
Joseph waxed skinny leather pants £585 |
Again, this statement gillet is so amazing! By DKNY this Hooded shearling-lined leather vest is a different take on the Aviator jacket trend set by Burburry Porsum in their A/W collection. I don't know why but i prefer the jackets sleeveless, I love the box-y shape of this too; if i had the £1,595 I would be wearing this right now!
