Style Diary: Ripped Off

For some reason I'm into the Sleeveless. 

Some could say it's because it's Summer. 

Some could say it is cheaper without the sleeves or that I'm into arms? (which is a negative)

There is something about sleeveless looks which just appeal to me at current. 

I thought I'd let this look be a bit ragged and ripped off (don't mind the pun) with my DIY Ripped Jeans.

I honestly don't see why someone would want to pay for anything ripped? .... I'd rather do it myself. 

A pair of scissors, rolling around on the floor and a good machine wash and Waa lah! 

For something fancy I'm wearing my Make Believe flower necklace, which contrasts the edge for something pretty and fragile.

Uber deep I am.

Style Diary - Cracked Leather

Take a look at this Vintage beauty!

I got this jacket from a Vintage Store from Camden Market whilst in London. 

Its such a statement piece with a strong black collar, shoulders and cuffs. The best part of this jacket is the 'cracked' leather detailing throughout. It's an abstract design which shows up really well with a bit of flash.

The jacket is very Michael Jackson 70/80's retro, that's probably another reason why I love love love it! 

Isn't this jacket tres amazing?
For this look I wanted the jacket to obviously be the statement, so I matched it with a grey singlet and my black skinny jeans (rolled up). Keeping the accessories to a minimum, I've got my black oxfords and a navy cuff. The jacket with it's structured shoulders adds weight to the look so the skinny jeans help to balance my proportions.

Style Diary - Geeky? Chic

I wear glasses. Not often, mainly because I have contacts. But I do sometimes...

I'm not really a fan of glasses, I just think they make me look weird and geeky. Maybe it's because I haven't found a good pair. But I thought for this look why not don a pair of fake over sized ones just for fun.

As winter is upon us these are my last Summer/Autumn look posts. No more short shorts for a while... 

I love this casual look, simple fitted blazer from work (which has intense shoulder pads that I love love love), a grey deep neck singlet from Nique (given to me by my sister) and short shorts from work (on sale and they are tres comfy). 

To make the look that bit more special I added my Forever 21 necklace (some gunmetal polygon wrapped in chains), a handmade ring I picked up from Barcelona and my two favourite items at the moment my Topshop envelope clutch and my bronze Lanvin ♥ H&M dress shoes that I got in Lyon. 

I miss sunny days...
