{TRENDING} | The Bomber Jacket

 

Street style has been flooded with bomber jackets recently and I can’t say that I am complaining! Bomber jackets are really versatile and comfy but can also be incredibly chic.

They can be worn over ripped jeans and a plain tee, a sultry dress; honestly anything your heart desires. I’m actually really keen to throw one over a huge silk or satin skirt for SA Fashion Week.


What’s really cool about the bomber jacket trend is that they come in so many different types and styles so they’re aren’t committed to one type of look. I’ve seen soft metallics, lace fabrics, pretty delicate flower patterns, graffiti, fierce prints and embroidery and tons of phrases and sayings. I must mention that there’s also a lot of Japanese inspiration floating around, especially at Zara, and it’s absolutely stunning!


I invested in 3 different jackets so far (all from Zara), 2 of which are pictured here. I’ve worn the silver one over my jeans and a pair of black culottes and the red one over velvet leggings. I’m really excited to play around some more though.


Bomber jackets are perfect for transitional weather and that little Spring chill. Check out Zara and Mr Price who both currently have some really ace options!

Would you wear the bomber jacket? Which one is your favourite? Comment below or tweet me a photo @LadyZaa

Until next time

{OUT AND ABOUT} | Talking Trends with Veet



Hi lovelies! I hope you are all having a fantastic weekend! Mine started off on a really glam note.  I spent Friday morning at 54 on Bath hotel and Rosebank brunching and talking trends with the fashion and Veet families.

Miss Veet SA 2015 Odirile was looking for some solid, honest advice for her Spring/Summer wardrobe.



Over tea, coffee and a scrumptious breakfast we discussed some key trends for SS15. Here are some of the trends we talked about

Gender Neutral
Think subtle androgyny with comfortable and stylish pieces. Jumpsuits, caps and high tops are key pieces

Safari
Chic tailoring is key here. Buckled dresses, wide brimmed hats and camel and khaki pieces

70s and Festival
Embrace the 70s trend but try not to look to costume-y. Wide legged pants, feathers, fringes, hair accessories and kimonos are all fabulous but be careful not to wear them all together.

Prints, Prints, Prints
Need I say more?!

After brunch we walked over to the mall to put some of what we discussed into practice. Odi and Melinda tried on a few handpicked outfits, shoes and accessories. At the end of the morning we all concluded that these lovely ladies would even look stunning in a plastic bag! ;)



To catch-up on our conversation search the hashtag #VeetTalksTrends on Twitter and Instagram.

Whatever you choose to wear this summer, make sure your legs are silky smooth with Veet!

Until next time

Love and sparkles
