Coveted Cover Ups

Hi fashionistas! Sorry for the short absence, I've been stressing about an exam I've got this thursday (argh!!!) I thought a bit of frivolous fashion fun might distract me for a minute though, so I decided to tell you about the two fabulous jackets I've recently bought in preparation for an arctic autumn (please excuse the shameless alliteration, I'm a bit over-hyper from all that revision!) Knowing the typical english weather conditions, I've invested in two gorgeous yet totally different jackets, both of which are bang on trend and fit to fight that chill. So, here goes...

  1. My first purchase of the day was this trend-nailing Topshop Fleece Collar PU Biker Jacket, £58 (thank NUS for Student Discount!). Always my first go-to destination for comfy yet stylish outer wear, this aviator puts a massive tick in the flying trend box, yet will fit me as snuggly as my much loved current biker. I chose the Tall version of this jacket for a bit of extra length (I'm a reasonably leggy 5'8"), and fell in love straight away with the cream fleecy collar and asymetric zip. Cool yet comfy, classic yet of the moment - what more could a girl ask for? It took about 10 mins from first spotting it to hearing the till ring. I'll be rocking this with my FCUK dark skinny jeans and my patent shoe boots for a feminine twist. Go grab!
  2. Secondly (Hey, who needs savings?!? ), I was desperate for a classic trench to complement my parisian chic, fit for the office look, which I'll be infusing with this season's beloved red shades. As soon as I spotted this M&S Limited Collection Pure Cotton Double Breasted Mac with Belt, £65, I knew it would fit perfectly into the 'masculine with a feminine twist' tailoring trend, going with anything and everything thanks to its stone colour and offering a more polished alternative to my new aviator. Don't discount this high street fave for label conscious reasons - their Limited Collection range oozes catwalk trendiness, and you'll be snapping up stylish buys your friends won't even have thought to look at. Instant stand out ability!


So there you go. I've strained my bank balance to the max and will be living on rice and beans 'I'm a Celeb' style until I can make some more £££, but I've acquired two gorgeous yet very different jackets that together will match all of my autumn cover up needs. Yay! That's just the tonic for exam stress. Wish me luck!

Over & Out (pilot style!)
