If ever you’re in danger of coming over all girly just add leather. Every piece you own should do it.
In fact I am actually looking forward to styling these pretty blush shades for summer in a more feminine way but, first of all, it’s still too cold for double lace and, second, I enjoy the contrast of the powder puff pinks and the black leathers. Threw on a sweatshirt too – just twisted it at the back and tucked it up (it really does stay on it’s own but if not get a hair tie involved and you’re laughing).
It’s almost the weekend guys, there’s been talk of a work brunch today (I have no idea either but I’m excited) and there’s a squash court booked for tomorrow. Husband, you better bring it.
On Monday I’ll be talking about blogging and hosting a Q&A at Caledonian University’s Media Week – the event is open to everyone so check it out here and let me know if you’re coming! Would be great to meet some of you.x

thank you – have a great weekend.x
Fabulous styling!
You are so right about adding leather – it immediately turns an outfit around.
I am curious about your briefing at the university. Will you let us know?

Great combination…you’re so good at pulling together outfits like this. Loving the leather and lace together. Avril x
aw thanks avril.x
That skirt is amazing. Is it true to size?
yes I would say so – I got an 8 (sometimes in French Connection I can be a 6 but that’s with tops – I think a 6 would have been too tight on my derriere! – the 8 is definitely generous though)
Great peplum! I love the contrast of the leather and lace!

had it for about a year now and it’s still one of my favourite go-to pieces
Wow, what a pretty skirt and I also like how you combined it 🙂

looking forward to styling it again for a more summery vibe
Cool, you’ve just given me another idea for my leather peplum top. Actually, 2 more ideas. Keep ’em coming!
I’ll do my best!
Edgy leather peplum + feminine lace + (Wendy) = Beauty and supreme elegance but with the necessary badass effect 😉 The equation always works
thanks sweetheart
