PICKS OF THE WEEK

TGIF!! Does anyone else think that time seems to drag in January? Hopefully my top 3 picks of the week will help lift those January blues.

First up is this Aztec print jumper from River Island. I was surprised by the response to my Aztec Print post and I'm pleased that most of you are as excited about the trend as I am. This River Island is a nice interpretation of the trend and is extremely wearable for those of you perhaps a little reluctant to go all out with an Aztec printed shirt.

I love this vintage biker jacket from Urban Outfitters. The red trim gives it an 80's Michael Jackson feel, and it will make any outfit look effortlessly cool. The £95 price tag is an absolute bargain for a jacket like this, if you go to somewhere like All Saints for something similar you can expect to pay around £250.

At first glance, I didn't like this jumper but the more I looked at it over the week the more I grew to like it. It reminds me of early 90's children's TV presenters which I'm sure some of you will hate. Everything I have ever bought from Jack Wills has been of fantastic quality, so that should justify the £79 price tag.

PADDED GILET


Continuing the English heritage look of the season, the padded gilet is a big look this A/W and almost every store has one. 

I think they're a great piece for this time of year when the weather is starting to get colder but it's not quite cold enough to wear your winter coat. Tweed, hooded, shiny, leather and cord details, there are styles to suit everyone. They look particularly good over shirts or jumpers and can be worn with either jeans and chinos.

Here are my high st finds.

ASOS £45
ABERCROMBIE & FITCH £200
H & M £29.99
MATALAN £30
JACK WILLS £98
NEW LOOK £29.99
ALL SAINTS £185
RIVER ISLAND £50
PEACOCKS £35
ZARA £39.99
