straight to hell jacket

Pink is cool but it never got to me till I saw this skirt.  It’s the combo of pleats, the long length (I sized up so it sits lower) and the right pink shade.  Still I always feel it’s a bit too girly on me hence the jacket.

Leather jacket: Trash & Vaudeville on St. Marks in the East Village (ask for Jimmy if you go). Try River Island, I like this perfed one, Schott or Asos.   Skirt: Asos. Comes in yellow (gorge!). Shoes: Tom Ford (on sale thx to the shoe Gods).  Try IRO,  Asos, Avro or Saint Laurent (both on sale).  Clutch: Bao Bao (I LOVE the neon one). 

Yea I’m in pink but it all feels a bit mod chic with the f**k off pointy silver heels.  Before I started this blog I wore a pair for ages years ago so this is the replacements.

If you have white leather jacket phobia like I did, just dab some of this on once in a while. Works on light coloured bags as well and I’ve had mine for years.

ps. I have the same leather jacket in my shop for sale if anyone’s after one.

    As always LOVE when you do “tough girlie” look… I will confess, when you are ready to get rid of that acid green lace skirt
    (the one that looks like Christopher Kane)… let me know…need it in my life…!

      I’ve always loved white leather in whatever form so a jacket is no exception. They don’t date either. Keeps looking fresh every summer. Geeeeet oooooonnnnneeee…
