I Love......Bomber Jackets

I have noticed that I have quite a collection of Bomber Jackets on my Pinterest fashion board, my conscious interest in the bomber jacket started with the TLG magazine I picked up a few months ago, there were several fashion stories with Bomber Jackets in and I certainly got a liking for them. I have included some of the images from TLG here as well as images from bloggers I follow, Tokyo street style and my favourite bombers from the High Street. The bomber jacket, for me, is a move on from the military khaki jackets you can pick up everywhere now (although I love all my army jackets and they never really go out of style as they have a cult status) I prefer to wear mine big and slouchy and I will probably get an army surplus jacket and pick up any extra bombers I like or can afford until I feel I have enough. I am proud to say that I haven't bought an oversized cardigan for about a year now....See I can control this obsessive buying! Can't I?

 Tokyo street style from Tokyofashion.com

 

 Army surplus style from Made Me SS 2013 collection (originally sourced from TLG Magazine)

 Oversized raver style Bomber jacket with Ganesh print from WIA Warriors Lookbook SS 2013 (I really want this jacket but it may be a bit out of my price range! This Bomber was also first spotted in TLG Magazine so thanks to them for the inspiration).

 

 Here's my favourite fashion blogger Susie 'Style Bubble' in her RWB AW13 bomber jacket. In very similar colours to the WIA Warriors Bomber.

 

Street style Printed Bomber Jackets featuring the Versace X H&M  bomber from SS 2012 also seen below.

 Aztec and Denim Varsity Bomber Jackets from Topshop SS 2013

 H&M quilted bomber jacket. I love this jacket and it is only £35 but has sold out in all sizes but a Size 10 and I wanted it in the biggest size they do which is a Size 16 (and not nearly big enough) I want my bomber to be as big as the WIA Warriors one above!!! Great value though, I am not surprised it sold out.

The original Army Surplus classic bomber jacket with orange lining - Love it!!

 

 

My birthday is coming up and I want one of these jackets!! Watch this space to see if I get my birthday wish! Which one's your favourite??

 

Thanks for reading.

No Debutante - Let's Get Physical

Why the hell was it snowing again today?? I had worn my very thin and not so warm denim jacket to work this morning after I had been tricked by the past couple of days warmer weather that spring had actually arrived!! I'm still cold now!

 

This post was influenced by my liking for sportswear, It's a fine line to tread to wear sports wear, the right way, without looking a bit, well, y'know, chavvy! I do like a sweatshirt or an over sized t-shirt accessorised up with a pair of American Apparel tube socks and some Converse. It's my thing and I reckon I'm getting away with it!

 

Now it has come up in conversation lately with work colleagues who are 10 years (and the rest, ahem) younger than me that Converse are the more favoured sports shoe for people in their 30s (and the rest) where as Vans seem to be the shoe of choice for anyone born after 1988. I hadn't really considered it but looking around (and a lot of guessing of peoples ages) I think this is correct. However, we cannot include skaters and original Vans lovers in these findings, my husband Phil for one, is definitely more of a Vans man these days and I really, definitely, am a Converse Girl! Converse are for the old? What do you think, do you agree? Will I still be wearing them in my 90s? I hope so!

Oh look, I gotta new hair scarf!

 

 

These outfits were also inspired by a new magazine I have discovered called TLG (Through The looking Glass). It's a Woman's Street Culture Magazine and the current issue Spring 2013 covers so many different styles and cultures including female graffiti artists, producers, promoters, skaters, models including Agyness Deyn, fashion designers, DJs, artists, Fashion stylist Soki Mak and Mod girls.

There are also a couple of fashion stories in there that I really like which featured the, unknown to me, brands Made Me and WIA. Whom I shall be checking out and hopefully blogging about very soon, the same goes for TLG Magazine!
