Zebra Print

I have fallen for this gorgeous Zebra print blazer from Zara's new collection. This piece is great to wear with your skinny jeans or some rolled-up chino pants with a simple basic t-shirt or tank top or in the better weather ditch the jeans and get on a neutral shade of tailored shorts. 

Way back in 2008, Balmain featured the Zebra print blazer as part of their fall collection:-

I can't help but smile when I look at these stunning pieces. When I see bright shades I think of the summer time when it's lovely and warm and when I can leave the umbrella at home!


To play it safe, wear one statement bright piece or teaming two contrasting but complementing pop shades together will also look great. 


Bring on the summer!!!!

Meet The Style Stalker Youth Brigade Jacket....

Right now, i'm wearing my structured shoulder Zara blazer to death! I love to wear it with my faithful Current Elliott or J Brand jeans and a simple t-shirt or vest top for a smart-casual daytime look. 

I've been searching the internet for another structured shoulder blazer and so far have not seen anything i'd want to rush out and buy. Tonight, I did however come across this cute structured shouldered jacket by Australian brand Style Stalker. I love the cut-out detailing to the back and on the cuffs of this jacket.

Take one cream Blazer................

Saw this gorgeous cream Blazer in Zara yesterday and I have to have it!

 

A classic cream blazer will go with your floaty mini dress or sleek maxi dress or dress up your faithful jeans. 

 


The Kardashians and Blake Lively work the cream blazer:

Kourtney Kardashian works the dressy look

 Kim Kardashian works the more casual look

Blake Lively works the office look

 


 

My perfect travel outfit

Loose-fitting olive green linen combat style trousers, white tank top, black blazer with turned up sleeves and gorgeous sandals:-

I just got these trousers today from Zara. They are gorgous with my cut-out detail ankle boots (as seen in picture) or with flats. These trousers are also available in Navy.

I'll wear this with flat sandals for travelling on holiday then throw on my heels and a dressy top for going out at night.


The look - My black blazer is from Zara,white tank top by Alexander Wang and the ankle boots are Aldo's highstreet version of the Giuseppe Zanotti cut out ankle boots. Nails - I'm currently wearing a bright pink Chanel nail polish on my toenails called "Riveria" -  the pink clashes well against the olive green trousers and black cut-out ankle boots.

Be brave with your blazer

Blazers have been a must have for this past season and it looks like this trend will be around for a good while yet. I was very lucky to find this gorgeous silk-mix black blazer in Topshop's January sale.

It was from part of Topshops' limited collection pieces and with all the beautiful diamante stud detailing all over, it is something special!
 I wear this oversized blazer with skinny jeans and a simple fitted vest top or for a night out I team this with a vintage belt and where it as a dress!!
