lifelong leathers

Leather jackets have been creeping in and out of our wardrobes for years, and it looks like they're out to stay...

This spring we saw little cropped leathers adorning the shoulders of our pretty frill frocks or studded versions over our vintage tee and jegging combos. This autumn/winter 09 season continues to showcase our leather look with sharp shoulders, zips, grunge and studs making a comeback. Invest in a classic piece for a timeless purchase you can wear any season, invest today and wear forever.

The Ultimate Shoe Boot!

These Kurt Geiger boots named ‘Embankment’ from the new Fashionista range are a definite must have.

These are the perfect solution for teaming with that floaty little coral dress this summer, giving your pretty outfit a hard edge or alternatively with black leggings and a evening top. Also their ability to transfer straight into our autumn/winter wardrobe is a big plus.

Think of them as an investment,1 pair of shoe boots to last multiple seasons, at £200 that’s a bargain if you ask me!

I never used to be a fan of the black and white dress, however as my clothes tastes have matured, I find myself lured in by the sophisticated touch of combining black and white for a eye catching yet classy ensemble suitable for anyone from blonde to brunette, pale or tanned. The magic of monochrome will create optical illusions and mean the lines formed can really emphasise your curves or alternatively draw attention away from unwanted areas. If black is slimming and white is fresh, then these opposites will definitely cause attraction.

...If your paycheck has come in, this little beauty will definitely set you aside from the crowd! The Fendi tulle sleeveless dress however will set you back £2,960!
