Leather Jackets – New Look – Vintage Bomber Jacket
Jan 15, 2009 fashion, new look
New Look have reported an increase in sales at a time when most stores are struggling – take a quick look at their site and it’s easy to see why! So far the New Look SS09 range looks fab, but it’s the tailored leather look and leather jackets I am particularly interested in. Yesterdays Grazia Magazine featured soft leather jackets in a feature that pointed out how enduringly popular this item of outer-wear is. They’re right, a leather jacket is a wonderful, diverse staple item – you can dress it up with jeans or add edge to a frou frou frock by teaming it with a leather jacket.
The New Look range is brilliant – full of cropped and tailored leather jackets that suit a range of tastes, including jackets made from Polyurethane perfect for those who dont want real leather. I’m a fan of the New Look faux leather Vintage Bomber Jacket £25 as it lends itself to many looks. I’d team it with my bootcut jeans and a polo jumper or, for warmer months, sling it over a vibrant tea dress.

New Look Lace and Ruffle Dress
Sep 16, 2008 Uncategorized
In recent years, New Look has been on my radar as a store that designs fabulous shoes on a purse friendly budget, however, since the arrival of the Giles Deacon for New Look range, I’ve really stood up and paid attention. Not only is the latter full of wonderful on-trend items, but the standard of New Look’s entire range has improved with Deacons arrival. I find myself getting very exited by the arrival of new stock, particularly the dresses, which are at the cutting edge of each seasons’ trends. So, for a touch of gothic romance try this lace and ruffle dress.
Prevalent on the catwalk for Autumn/Winter, Prada rekindled our love of dramatic lines and ladylike lace with Miuccia Prada explaining that she ‘wanted to create minimalist shapes and for minimalism, you need a surface that is interesting’. The silhouette is sharp and sexy, with a strong Victoriana feel to it, most apparent in the demure neckline.The hem of the dress is covered in ruffles, another key trend thats a favorite with celebs and has been a prevelent look on the red carpet with Natalie Portman in Cannes to Anne Hathaway in Venice.
