BIKER CHICKS WEAR PINK

Pin It Now!

Yes. I have said a hundred times that I’m not a girly girl and I don’t wear pink. Clearly I’ve proven myself a giant hypocrite many times over, but surely this time I’ve been half way consistent. After all, what we have here is a moto jacket, so the toughness just about cancels the pinkness. Not that I need any justification – this jacket is ah-mazing! I love how this fleecey material gives this jacket that seamless soft structure. So naturally I decided to wear my underwear on the outside with this thrifted slip worn as a dress. Of course, I could have purchased one of Zara’s recent season slip dresses, but nothing beats the real thing, am I right? I’ve never been so appreciative of charity shops accepting underwear donations. Just wait till next season when wearing your bra on the outside starts trending (oh wait it already has!). This awesome long brick wall gave me an irresistible urge to do that cliché wide angle against the wall shot – check it. I’m even doing the lon-n-n-n-g reach towards the camera. ‘Boswe’ Asymmetric Zip Moto Jacket c/o Jessica Buurman \\ ‘Nadia’ Studded Boots c/o Jessica Buurman\\ Thrifted Slip worn as dress (similar here and here) \\ Marc by Marc Jacobs Watch (similar)

New in Rag & Bone Langlen Moto Leather Jacket

As you know I’ve been searching high and low for the prefect leather moto jacket for Winter. Ideally I would have liked to buy one from a physical location where I could try on and do my change-room-pouts in front of a mirror, but I took a chance and ordered the Rag & Bone Langlen moto jacket online. All I knew was that it matched all my requirements on paper: double lapels, tick, double breasted, tick and bold zip details, tick. When it arrived, it was like meeting an internet boyfriend for the first time: either you realise that it was all a mistake, or that he was even better than you’d imagined. Luckily, for me it was the latter. The leather is just so impossibly soft. The cut is perfectly fitted and both feminine and hard edged at the same time. Perfect the fit may be, but, as is my habit with jacket of late, I’ll likely only be wearing these on my shoulders (a style which a friend recently dubbed the ‘amputee look’).
