Investment Purchase Part 2 – The All Saints Leather Jacket

Posted in Fashion by chitrasthings

As I mentioned in previous posts I went to Bicester Village to get a belated Christmas present from my husband and ended up in All Saints trying on leather jackets. I do this quite often but they never really suit me as I think most are too short for my body shape. This time however I found this one – the Ryder Biker – a longer length black jacket with silver hardware. It was reduced to £175 from £280. I had to get it.

I got a size 10 which I think was because of the style, I would say that I would normally be a 12 or even a 14.

This jacket goes with everything and so it should, thats the whole point! I absolutely adore it!

A leather jacket is a classic wardrobe staple and a definite investment buy. The leather should get better and better with age and hopefully this jacket should last me as long as I can get away with wearing a leather jacket!!

Investment Purchase Part 1 – The Burberry Trench

Posted in Fashion by chitrasthings

Yes I am the very proud owner of a Burberry Trench! This was a Christmas present from my husband (I got it at Bicester Village). I got the Kensington Extra-Long Heritage Trench in Stone and I will tell you that it was £906. HOWEVER, that is pretty good considering this is the classic trench that they always sell and is normally £1495.

This was no impulse purchase, my husband wanted to get me something that was classic and would last forever and I would remember! This is certainly that.

This is such a beautiful classic coat, that fits me perfectly. I got a size 12. I absolutely love the colour and shape and think the longer length works really well for me.

It looks so amazing all buttoned up too.

I am in love…

The DKNY Cozy

Posted in Fashion by chitrasthings

The DKNY Cozy is a cult classic. Its a simple cardigan in a lovely lightweight knit thats longer in the front and short in the back which you can wear in a hundred different ways.

It comes in a range of colours and is just one of those pieces that your wardrobe needs!

I recently went to Bicester Village to kill my credit card and found this lovely peach one there for the bargain price of £15.20 (it was reduced and then reduced again!). I honestly don’t know how much they normally are!
