Top picks: week 9

This week I'm looking at blazers. Though I do already have one, it's black velvet so it's more of a winter jacket. It would be great to have a summer one to just throw on over a dress - especially in the unpredictable weather we've been having lately.

I love lace but though it's been in the shops on and off for the last couple of years, I don't have any item of clothing with it. This cream lace blazer looks ideal to smarten up a dress or even a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I'm also smitten with this speech bubble jacket - so kitsch! I wish it came in another colour though - I'm not too much of a pastel pink girl. Mint would be great. 

I may have to actually purchase this leather jacket from Miss Selfridge though. I have never owned a proper leather jacket as I didn't have the confidence to pull one off. And this one is a very reasonable price. It would definitely toughen up my cutesy floral dresses that's for sure. I did just get paid so will have to see if I can find it in my size...

Do you have a summer jacket?

  1. The lace and peplum blazers are just lovely. I've been after a blazer for a while but I just can't seem to find 'the one' - frustrating! I have a few summer jackets though - a thin rain jacket and my leather jacket are my favourites! Xo

  5. I love the new banner! Very cute - and the iPad designs are fabulous, they look great on your blog.

    I'd been thinking recently about getting a new blazer, but I'm trying to shift from automatically opening up english store websites and embrace these foreign canadian offerings! Mind you its been so hot lately I've been living in tshirts! x
