Leather Jackets for Autumn

Browsing Marks and Spencers website this week, I came across these lovely leather jackets for Autumn. Of course, quality is generally guaranteed from here, so although its fairly pricy, its a good investment piece that will last you for years to come and remain stylish and classic too-my fave is the 2nd one, as I like the knitted cuff and waist detailing!!

Black leather jacket-Autograph, £149

Black leather jacket, Limited Collection £149

A big thanks to everyone who commented on my leather jacket in yesterdays post too!! Diana was the main topic of conversation, but I just wanted to mention that my brown leather jacket was £4.99 from the Salvation Army, I thrifted it about 3 weeks ago!! It has quite a worn in look and feel, is very light and soft and I like how I can push the sleeves up on it too!

So, if you are after a leather jacket for Autumn, don't forget to thrift first-you will most probably be able to get a stylish cheap bargain if you look hard enough!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!!

Introducing Diana

Well, she's finally here!! I'd like to introduce you to Diana, my new best friend, who will be accompanying me on all my journeys from now on.

Firstly, let me tell you how we met. When gorgeous blogger Wendy came to London and we got together for our memorable day out, we were sitting with our lagers in a quaint English pub and I spotted her. Of course, I knew she was going to be a lifelong friend when I slipped her on my finger and as in the Cinderella story, a perfect fit ensued. Well, Diana didn't leave my side until late evening, when rather reluctantly she went back to her rightful owner, the lovely Wendy................but I was now in love and wanted her back!

A sneak peek!!

Hello Diana-You finally came to me!!! Yes, she was on my mind ever since Wendy departed to carry on her vacation and then back to home and I just knew I couldn't settle until Diana returned to me-only for keeps!!

I'm over the moon-she is absolutely gorgeous, sooo comfortable and will only leave my finger for the day job!! I can't stop staring at her and she is now officially my new 'BFFL'-Best Friend For Life'-Haha!!!!!!!!!! Seriously though, the Diana ring is so stunning and the quality is second to none, it will be a real pleasure to wear this as often as I can.

Diana, you will always have a special place in my heart!!! Click on my title to check out the Diana ring on Wendys gorgeous website-drool over it plus all the other pieces she has to offer, guaranteed you will all have a permanent wishlist which will just have to be satisfied sometime soon!!

Thanks so much Wendy-you've reunited me with Diana and I'm eternally grateful!

Casual dressing

I thought I'd wear my French Connection cargo style trousers that I thrifted in Eastbourne for £3, with a plain black top and sandals. I like these trousers as they have a tab to keep the roll ups up and they also are good just straight down too. I'm off to the park soon with the boys and a friend and her son. These trousers are my only casual pair, except for jeans. I am very fussy about trousers, which is why I don't own very many-apart from jeans, only 4 pairs, this pair and 3 black ones.

Haha, the husband thought it would be funny to capture a close up, thankfully I can't see any spots on show today!!

Supermarket Surprise!!

Todays outfit is a dress that I found in the Salvation Army last week and what drew me to it was the berry colours-very inspirational for Autumn. It can be worn with flat sandals in summer and I will wear it with tights, boots and a cardi in Autumn and Winter!!

When I first saw it I thought it was vintage, but on looking at the label it is by 'TU' which is Sainsburys supermarket fashion label! I really didn't want any more dresses, but the colour is so Autumnal, it will be a versatile item in my wardrobe, now my summer dresses have been laundered and stored away! Plus, for only £3.50, I couldn't say no!!
