My fashion-fetish item pur sang has been highly represented during London Fashion Week.

Washed Burgundies

 top: quilted leather coat - Goosecraft ][ Belt: Sam Brown ][ Shoes: DiCapolavorio (here)

Something old ok, last year is old in fashion-terms, something new one month, and something newest last weekend...

Waxy legs

Waxed jeans? Mmm, I wasn't sure...

But Zara's Ombre toned burgundy had me slightly lusty...

The 'normal' jeans top-border and pockets render it an original effect that I haven't seen yet with the higher end brands: so Zara did it again!

Also, if you cuff/roll the bottoms it will match the top, slightly.

On the Zara model:

It shows the colour graduation from top to bottom that is similar in real life.

Top'n'bottom line?

 Love it and I hope the wax'n'gloss will defy my laundring cleansiness tendencies...

Americana Busstop

Outfit: leather pants: Rag & Bone (my post), Blouse: Equipment Diem tie-front in orchid (another colour here), Primark floral belt (cute ones here), Zara top, Bangles: COS (2 square ones), Watch: Liberty wrap watch, Earrings: Gorjana Fairytale, Clutch: Topshop, Shoes: COS heeled brogues, Leather jacket (ph. 2): Gooseberry,

It's a kind of a good-girl-gone-bad theme today but still with a hint of good girl. My inspiration came from the fantastic posts of the many talented fashionbloggers I read frequently. Actually, I was a black leather peplum top from H&M on a blog which spelled out total good-girl/bad-girl confusion. So I brought that to this post with mixing two contrasting textures, colours & clothing concepts together.

I feel leather pants brings out the melancholic in me:  Somehow I cannot imagine being a happy, cheerleader-esque person in leather pants because of the 'cool girl'  aura it has. Perhaps if leather pants would come in peach, lilac & baby blue tones? As for crop-tops, they are actually quite 'cheerleader'. I actually like this season's crop-top & bralet trends! I wore them a lot in my teens! But there comes the issue of being age-appropriate!  So I tied my Equipment blouse above the waist, but kept a darker, matching top underneath to keep it age-appropriate or not so bare.
