True Vamp

Ok fine I will stand up and admit that I'm a huge True Blood fan. Its gritty, dirty, dark and far too funny what's not to love?

I have a huge crush on Erik and out of all the strong female characters I love Pam the most. She never holds back, has a razor sharp tongue and the most amazing wardrobe.

So while watching season 4, episode 2 I got so excited when saw the always impeccably dressed Pam wearing a jacket that looks exactly like the Spliced Vinyl Crop Jacket from City Chic. I knew more than ever it had to be mine!

So inspired by this fashion forward vamp I was inspired to do a little shoot of my own to do this brilliant garment justice.

Spliced Vinyl Crop Jacket - $139.95AU

I'm wearing this jacket in a size XS and I find it to be comfortable, easy to layer and very roomy under the bust. Although I'm wearing this with black and grey I think wearing any bright colour or even white underneath will make the splice pattern pop even more!

To vamp up this jacket even more so I've worn it with a black leather underbust (can't remember where I got it from sorry) and my grey Torrid pencil skirt featured in this post.

Please note in some of the shots I've posed to cinch in the bottom of the jacket to make more of an hour glass effect. The jacket itself is not a tight fit at the bottom.

Notice the drool worthy cuff on my wrist? I've mentioned GMK in a previous post but now I own one of their completely unique hand made accessories I can honestly say they make the most accessories on the planet!

This piece priced at $280AU is pretty much my in cuff form. From the skull, spikes and studs to the deep red colour, glitter and hand painted zebra strips it is so very perfect!

There are so many different styles available on GMK's webstore with more Bow Cuffs, Leather Belts, Leather Bracelet Cuffs, Leather Chain Gloves, Leather Key Rings and Belt Buckles.

When you buy anything from GMK you can have faith that all your items are unique, hand made and proudly made in Australia!

Pleather, Floral and Lace - Oh My!

Its officially jacket weather in Melbourne and I'm far too excited about this! I love rugging up, wearing layers and as many snuggly accessories I can get my hands on.

So as as the weather starts to get chilly my jacket collection grows larger and larger. City Chic have some amazing new stock and winter must haves right now and these are my 3 favorite pieces.

Military Pleather Jacket - $149.95

This jacket fits like a dream in a size XS. Super soft and figure hugging it even has enough room for a long sleeve medium thickness top to be worn underneath. I've always been a fan of military styles and the button detailing on the front of this jacket won me over instantly. Because its a very soft pleather it has a small amount of stretch and really molds to your shape. I have larger upper arms and they fit nicely in this style without any issues.

I'd like to introduce you to my new Disco Pants - $122 from American Apparel. These babies are amazing! They are skin tight, super stretchy and form fitting and I have to admit they are one of my new obsessions. They also come in blue, red, grey and purple and I'm wearing these in a size Large. I never thought I'd by pants like this but seeing Laura Wells in these back in March I knew I could pull it off. These pants also have the earned the name 'The Sensational Pants' due to comments given when I worn them out over the weekend.

My shoes Lita in Distressed Leather $159.95 from Jeffrey Campbell. JC shoes are my other obsession. These give you great height, look amazing and the best part of all they are so comfortable! The heel/platform means you can wear them all day without any issues, I even wear mine shopping. There are so many different styles, colours and fabrics in this boot I want the blue ones next.

Floral Puff Sleeve Jacket - $99.95

This is the one jacket that people were weary about on the facebook page but I love it! I need more colour and print in my life so I wanted to show just how much this one item can pop if you pair it up with your basic blacks. I added a waist belt for a little more definition and to break up the print on my top half. The fit of this jacket is very snug but the cut is really flattering. It cuts in and the hips really showing of an hour glass shape. I will wear this with jeans, pencil skirts and little black dresses all winter.

Lace Driving Gloves from Sportsgirl (instore) be careful wearing this stretch lace as it is very delicate and these are my second pair of gloves.

Lace Ruffle Skirt - $69.95

This skirt is so cute! I usually would not wear so much puff on my hips but I think the high waist really compensates for all that fabric bellow. Now I would usually wear this with stockings or tights but I wanted to show of my shoes. When worn at the waist this skirt under my behind but shows nothing. There is also enough stretch in the elastic waistband to wear it on your hips if you want a longer length. I'm wearing this with my pussy bow shirt which is 4 -5 years old by now, but this also looks really cute with any solid colour tee, skirt or bodysuit.

I'm also wearing my Foxy Fab in Black Tapestry -$129.95 from Jeffrey Campbell. These have the same heel and platform as the boots above and are equally as comfortable.

There are so many new style jackets to choose from here is a little speak of what's on offer right now.

1. Velvet Duchess Puff Sleeve Jacket - $129.95
2. Velvet Leopard Print Jacket - $99.95
3. Pleather Biker Jacket (black or brown) - $149.95

Thank you to my always awesome blog photographer Michael Alesich from Lucky & Rice for braving the cold and rain to shot this with me.
