Leather Jacket – All Saints via eBay (the style is Mahonie)
Jeans – Topshop Jamie
Oversized White Tee – River Island

Plaited Chain Necklace – Kate Benjamin via Accessories Direct

I just adore this chain as it feeds into all my current jewellery loves; statement, layers, mixed metals. It’s also a dream to wear as it is deceivingly light. I highly recommend checking out their sale, brilliant reductions and so many stunning pieces.

Next on my want list is this Jacey Withers Ship Pendant. It’d make a lovely Valentine’s/ Birthday/ Just cos it’s a Tuesday present…. oooh and it’s currently reduced as well… (take the bait Matthew…).

Watch – Swatch
Bracelet – eBay
Faux Fur Bag – H&M

 

Boots – River Island Sale (the style is Shifty Herit)

So delighted with these boots as I had been giving longing looks over in the direction of the laid-back Banddit Boots but they were just too pricey. These were just twenty tiny pounds and have satisfied my urge for a less structured boot. The studding is just an added bonus :)

Oh and yes, blonde. Well actually for the past fortnight I’ve mostly been bright orange as I couldn’t decide whether I was going to take the plunge with the “obnoxious red”. I got cold feet though and so I’m blonde. Forever fickle… that’s me folks ;) xo

P.S In answer to Why no face?! COLDSORE SIZE OF BEN NEVIS

Matt installed a new wordpress plug in, IntenseDebate, pretty cool huh! Thanks missis, I felt slightly squidgy after Xmas but I'm not long getting back into the swing. Helps that *crosses fingers* the real icy days seem to be on the wane. I know! Kudos to Color B4, it lifted it to a great level so when I bleached I only needed 20 vol. My hair is in suprisingly good shape! xx

Thanks Lauren, this is the seller http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HOT-Fashion-Style-Multi… I got a few other bits and pieces from this seller and they're great for the money. Only thing that wasn't a success was the fake Arty ring. Too small and I have tiny fingers! xx

Isn't it a beaut?! I'm a sucker for a bustle on anything and stalked this jacket for ages in Belfast last year. Sadly ALL of their sale ones were ripped :( and I thought it was never going to be mine but good ole eBay came up trumps a few months back and I got it BNWT for waaay less than even the sale price.
Totally agree on the Swatch, I actually bought it last Summer and it makes me feel all sunny and bright when I wear it. I'd love the lilac one too xxx

Your boots are only AMAZING! I'm always on the look out for a pair of flat black boots and these fit the bill perfectly. By the way the hair is fabulous :-)

dress_junkie January 15, 2012 at 2:48 pm

Very comfortable too! But not that warm, that'd be my only gripe about them xx

I want that jacket so so soooo much.

PS. Beautiful hair :)

It's an amazing jacket isn't :) If you decide to hunt it down I'd recommend sizing down. Just by one size as it's a v generous fit and the leather is soooo soft it stretches with wear xx

You're a star! I'd been looking at that light thingy but wanted to hear from someone who had used it and rated it. Will definitely pick it up. Bloody awful things and this one is massive and always comes up in exactly the same spot. Grrrr xox

Thanks nicola x

Unfortunately I don't know of anyone selling it. The Belfast branch had quite a number of 10's/ 12's before Christmas but they all had some form of leather damage. It is a very delicate design. Good luck with the hunt! x
