Jackets!!!!

Jackets have always been an obsession of mine. They're so great because of their transformation power; throw a slouchy striped vintage blazer over skinny jeans and a vest and you instantly have a unique, androgynous look. Pairing a little white lace dress with a khaki military cropped jacket (I have a cute one from H&M) brings it from girlie summer to chic autumnal instantly. I have blazers, hoodies, cropped, leather... you name it, I have it. At least thats what I thought. But there are several amazing styles hitting the shops, many of which are must haves! There are two particular styles I am coveting, and desperately saving up for!
Aviator Jacket


Amelia Earhart
Aviator Jacket
Next do a great jacket, but I cant copy it.
 This is a cute New Look version.
       This jacket originates from pilots jackets, eg Amelia Earhart, 
legendary  aviatrix, who pioneered this practical yet stylish cover-up. It's bulky shape and sheepskin detail looks fab contrasting with a little lace skirts or dresses. And of course, finish it off with divine little lace up boots  and slouchy socks.


Parkas


Loving this H&M style
The unlikely hit layering piece of this season. Parkas originally derive from the less then fashionable mens anoraks, yet somehow they are so gorgeous. Usually a khaki, light and long coat, they look perfect teamed with little floral dresses or skinny jeans and a bright top. (Very festival chic.) H&M have a really great selection, with 4 different options. As well as being cute, many of them are wool lined, which adds warmth. I'm desperate for one of these, but unfortunately I cannot afford one right now. (Although they are reasonably priced at £30-£40.)


Sorry for the long post guys, but there was so much to say!
Keep stylish xxxx
