Leather Jacket

Earlier this year, my beloved New Look faux leather jacket I bought for $50 from ASOS about four years ago started to peel! I've been looking since last year for a suitable replacement but to no avail.

Then, last night while browsing ASOS I found this so I ordered it (only $260 with free returns)!

Also thinking about this Karen Walker tee...

In the Navy

Navy is my colour for Autumn Winter 2013, friends. As I age, black close to the face does me no favours. I find that charcoal and navy work better, teamed with a chic black cigarette pant for work (or a black skinny jean for the weekend). However you decide to wear it, navy can be a refreshing alternative to the usual black on black. It's also a way to experiment with a little colour, if brights aren't your thing. Here's what I have my beady eyes on around the local stores and around the net...

Tricky Trend: The Novelty Jumper

There is so much more to the novelty jumper trend than those you find in souvenir shops or the dreaded Christmas-themed ones. Have fun with this trend but keep the silhouette elegant by pairing yours with a simple skirt, pair of jeans or trousers (with minimal jewellery). Here are my top picks from ASOS. My favourite? The lobster jumper of course! I can't wait to get my claws on it...

A Wear Stripe & Bow Jumper | $67.99

 

Sugarhill Boutique Flamingo Jumper | $98.32

 

ASOS Lobster Striped Jumper | $62.76

 

Sonia by Sonia Rykiel Cherry Intarsia Knitted Jumper | $355.64

How I'd Style That: Embellished Slipper Shoes

The Item
New Look slipper shoes from ASOS.


The Style
I'd keep it simple: these shoes do all the talking. I'd pair them with blue boyfriend jeans, rolled at the cuff and a plain grey fitted sweatshirt or jumper that sits on the hips.
