Kibble Palace was bathed in pink light, with giant paper flowers displays to compliment the botanical surroundings. Key looks and bags were on display and didn't look out of place next to a giant koi pond and statue of Venus. I'd never been to a fashion preview in a greenhouse before but it made perfect sense to preview the likes of Maxmara, McQ, Acne and Linea.
Of course wandering around I fell in love with a ridiculously amazing Louboutin bag (damn my expensive taste) that would cost me at least a month's wages if not more. Knowing I'd be certain to drop said bag in a puddle the second I bought it I just lusted from afar.
Some this season's trends are not for me. I'm not someone who will bare her midriff (y'all don't want to see the c-section muffin top combo) and sheer panel skirts just aren't my thing. However I feel head over heels in love with their biker chic look by Armani Jeans and Levi. And who doesn't love Breton stripes?
Casual chic biker--who knew? I like to think I'm vaguely edgy so it really is no surprise that I was drawn to an amazing leather jacket and the perfect jeans. I've been in a bit of a style funk of late evidenced by my outfit for the event below. I felt woefully underdressed and unhip in last year's studded sweater and jeans but I've just lost inspiration of late.

It is still pretty cold here in Glasgow so I think I'm just not thinking Spring yet but hopefully as we move into March I'll get more of my spring trend on!

Looks like a fun event! Your top and jeans combo is nice and casual and most likely comfy too - doesn't look bad to me at all! :)

Oh wow, I feel so 'with it' now! I'm wearing a blue&white striped top right now! I love the biker style too and the stripes. I hope you come out of your 'funk' soon, I love your awesome style
ReplyDeleteI've just linked up to my first ever, What I Wore Wednesday. What a lovely idea! Also it looks like a great event that you went to, I'm really looking forward to the festival spring/summer trend this year.
ReplyDeleteSame here...I'm not doing the midriff style (or you will see a muffin top/divided tummy muscles after three 10-11 lbs babies:). I do love blazers for spring worn with worn skinny jeans..I have just found my two favourite new blazers...looove them! Take care xx
ReplyDeleteI love my stripes:) happy to see it's on trend still! x
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great time and you looked fab! I'm liking the sound of the casual chic biker it sounds right up your street. I think it's easy to fall into a bit of a style funk at these in between times of year. Give it a few weeks and you'll be dying to get your spring on I bet :-)
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I love laser cut for Spring!
ReplyDeleteEatPrayWearLove
I can't wait to wear dresses sans tights! I am so tired of wearing tights all of the time. We have had a few days of nice weather but the high tomorrow is back in the 30s. Ugh. Spring, where are you?
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of bearing my mommy tummy either. Looks like a fun event.

I'm not a big fan of crop tops either but I'm starting to embrace the floral prints, which is one of the spring trends. Thank you for hosting the link up :)

Looks great fun x
ReplyDeleteIt was such a great evening.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to scare small children ;)
ReplyDeleteSpring? HA! The sun was out for the first time in forever but it is still frosty. Spring in Scotland is June :)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving pastels!
ReplyDeleteLoving laser cut!
ReplyDeleteGlasgow weather certainly doesn't help!
ReplyDeleteYou're bang on trend :)
ReplyDeleteBlazers are the new cardigan I say :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in I'm glad you found me :)
ReplyDeleteStripes FTW!
ReplyDeleteI always like comfy but I've been putting comfort over style a bit too much lately!
ReplyDeleteOf course! House of Fraser has so many great collections.
ReplyDeleteI blame my mother--it's her fault I always gravitate to the most expensive thing in the room lol.
ReplyDeleteWe've not had any snow but somehow grey, cold and wet is worse to me. Bring on the sun!
ReplyDeleteThey are so versatile right?
ReplyDeleteStripes are so versatile!
ReplyDeleteI had a cropped mock short sleeved turtleneck (think Cher in Clueless) in 1996 but it still covered my belly!
ReplyDeleteThis looked like such a good event, gutted I didn't get invited

looks fun!
ReplyDeleteI think you look great! The press event looks brilliant too, I was invited to the London event, but it is sometimes hard to get there when you need to sort childcare.
ReplyDeleteSounds such fun! I'm looking forward to not having to wear a heavy coat!

Greetings from Jakarta! Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog, I didn't expect that you would stop by since there are a loooot of people linking up to WIWW! Actually I always have a link to Transatlantic Blonde on my Links page. Some people have a long list of links below their post, but I prefer to have buttons on separate page instead of just links. But of course, would you prefer link under the post instead of button on a page?
