Ballard Of Easy Rider - The Perfect Autumn Biker Jacket from HM+

For years I've been after the perfect biker jacket. I wanted something which made me feel like a 1950s rebel, part James Dean, part Frenchie from Grease. But alas, there was something which wasn't quite right, either looking far too big or feeling far too tight. I was beginning to fear that I just didn't have the right shape for a biker jacket, and had all but given up. With wide shoulders and big boobs, I'd always end up with too much room on my waist for it to zip up comfortably, and would just look a bit saggy... But then on a whim, I tried this beauty from H&M+, and after sizing up, it's slightly cropped dimensions fit like a dream.

The jacket has all the hallmarks of a traditional biker shape - the collar, zipped cuffs and zipped pockets. It also entails the delightful squeak which fake leather often has, but I'll forgive sounding like a rustling mouse for the perfect cut and shape of it. It even hits my high sitting waist perfectly!

Biker Jacket: H&M.

Dress: H&M (review here).

Tights: Primark.

Leaf Hair Clip: Tatty Devine.

Boots: Lorraine Kelly for JD Williams (review here).

I like that it's one of those clothing items which looks good with everything. I don't have to think what I'm wearing it with, and whether I'm walking through the park or going out on a date, it's just so easy to wear.

Now for my next mission - to find cute heels which I can walk in!

Until next time,

I've Got Chills - F&F True Detachable Faux Fur Collar Leather Look Biker Jacket from F&F Clothing

With Spring apparently just around the corner, I've been keeping an eye out for a faux-leather biker jacket. I wanted something which made me feel like a 50s bad girl, and absolutely loved this sale bargain from the F&F True range at F&F Clothing.

Perhaps my favourite thing about it was the detachable collar. It's held on with a series of buttons so is very easy to remove, and helps the jacket make that difficult transition between the Winter and Spring weather.

Biker Jacket: F&F True

Dress: Collectif (coming to the blog soon)

Flowers: Pearls & Swine

Necklace: Gift

Whilst this particular jacket has now sold out, there is a similar option available from F&F True here. It's pretty much the same jacket, minus the faux fur collar. I'm a big fan of the zipped pockets, and the faux-leather feels so soft and broken in making it as comfy as it is warm to wear and move in.

I loved the traditional shape and cut of the biker jacket, and felt that the sizing was quite generous. I sized up to accommodate my large bosom thinking that the jacket would be very rigid, but could easily have shopped for my regular size.

Whilst I don't think I'll ever be as awesome as Betty Rizzo, this is certainly a jacket which will rock up a 50s style dress or skinny jeans. It's so easy to wear, and adds an effortless touch of laid back cool to whatever you choose to pair it with!

Until next time,
