Best Suede on the High Street

Suede is everywhere at the moment – real and faux, manifested in every single item of clothing you can think of, and in an array of colours. For me it’s far and away one of the best things about the ~70s comeback~, and I can’t stop lusting over cute suede skirts and cowgirl-esque jackets. I already own the tan Mango suede jacket (as you may have seen here and here) and I can’t get enough of it – I also think it’s extremely good value at £60! Next on my wishlist is a black button-through skirt and that glorious baby blue jacket from Mango. Check out 11 of my favourite high street suede items available now:

Mango tan suede jacket (£59.99) – also via ASOS

LFW Day 4 – Outfit Of The Day

Cape – Topshop | Playsuit – Cow Vintage* | Boots – Daniel Footwear* | Sunglasses – ASOS (similar)

Photos by Portia Hunt & Amber Rose

Last but not least, my outfit for day 4 of LFW. I didn’t stay for the fifth and final day, so this is my last outfit. I really like this one (if I do say so myself) and had intended on wearing it earlier on in the week, but the heat I suffered through in a black high neck jumper on Friday put me off donning knee high boots and a cape until the Monday.

I am really into suede at the moment, faux or otherwise, which resulted in my double suede ensemble here. This playsuit was such an amazing find in Cow (originally spotted in the rails by Kayla, so thanks for that one!) – it’s a perfect fit on me, and it’s Prada! The boots, also suede, are the same incredible pair from Daniel Footwear that I blogged about here. Super comfortable for walking around all day, and surprisingly breathable in the warm weather too. Finally, I’m so into this cape. It was the perfect cover-up by itself, sort of like a cardigan but cooler, but it will be equally easy to wear over loads of layers in the colder weather. This particular cape is currently sold out online, but you can find links to some other blanket capes I like in this post.

Luckily I bumped into the beautiful Portia (who has took some incredible photos for my blog a couple of weeks ago, which you’ll be seeing shortly!) and Amber Rose, who were kind enough to take my outfit photos for me. Most of the photos you can see in this post were taken by Portia, except for the three slightly lighter looking photos which were taken by Amber Rose. What do you think of my final LFW outfit? And which is your favourite? Check out looks one, two and three, and let me know!

Outfit Of The Day | Knee High Boots

Jacket – Pretty Little Thing* | Dress – Missguided* | Boots – Daniel Footwear* | Bag – Bank*

It’s almost boot season! Not that I have stopped wearing boots over summer, but now I can wear them even more. Woo! I have steered clear of knee high boots in seasons gone by; partly because they reminded me of school socks, and partly because they remind me of not-very-cool-mum style. Neither of these are particularly accurate or rational reasons, so I finally went for it this year in the form of this beautiful suede pair from Daniel Footwear. They’re incredibly soft and comfortable, and now I am fully won over and need a leather or faux leather pair that I can wear when it rains! This particular pair is undeniably very expensive (£239!) but you are paying for quality, and if you have that money to spend I would absolutely recommend them. If you’re after a high quality but slightly cheaper pair, you could go for these or these.

Continuing with the suede theme, I’m also super happy with this new khaki faux suede jacket from PLT. It is really thick and has a faux sheepskin lining so is lovely and warm for winter, and the khaki makes a nice change from black for me – it also comes in black and burgundy! Finally my dress, also new, from Missguided. This was a surprise present from the lovely blogger outreach girls at MG, and they got it so right! Surprise presents can be a risky business, but the girls didn’t disappoint and I think I’ll be getting loads of wear out of this. It is arguably quite summery, but I like to layer up pieces like this to take them through to autumn/winter.
