Leopard and Fringe


















The H&M faux fur leopard jacket was such a steal, I got it on sale.... but... I really don't like the lining (inside) it kind of make the jacket look cheap, no? I actually just really noticed it on the photo... so I might "operate" the jacket and change the lining, knowing myself I might do something crazy with it :)

The leggings are my absolute fav but.... totally loosing its shape/stretch :/ does anyone know a little "fix" for it?

I'm actually busy making a whole bunch of skirts, it feels so good making stuff again :)

i think i have the same leggings - they are lush right? Unfortunately - the same thing is happening to mine and I am heartbroken - i hope someone knows how to fix it.

Fabulous blog by the way. Makes me smile.

this combination is really lovely! i've seen a lot of people wear in a tougher style so this is really refreshing.

unfortunately i don't know how to fix leggings but i'm looking forward to see what you come up with!

Lovely outfit and interesting leggins! I have the same leopard coat and I'm with you in the opinion that the gold inside looks cheap. :D But I also got it on sale for just 9€ so that doesn't matter.

I want a leopard jacket so badly, but I never find the perfect one. Why does it have to be so hard?

[Unspeakable Thoughts Unspoken]* said...

...I don't think the linen mankes the jacket look cheap...but now I want you to "operate" and see what you would do with it :)

i like fur, but when i don't wear it... i feel like an unatractive fur ball. i absolutely love your leggins, they are so unique! may i know where did you get them?

the definition of confusion said...

omg i like the leopard coat

Shini said...

OK THAT'S LONDON, ARE YOU BACK AGAIN? The coat does not look cheap from the outside at all, yes I believe you can do your magic and sprinkle some cocorosa dust on it ;)

Jen said...

i adore these fringe leggings!! i'm not sure if it'll work but you can try freezing them over night? i know freezing them before wearing them can make them stronger but i'm not sure about helping them redefine their shape.

Tariro said...

LOVE that jacket! & the shoes

H K said...

You should show us what you make!

Hmm, a while ago I heard that if you sit in a bath tub of cold water that your jeans will tighten up again, so maybe the same will for the leggings. If not tumble dry them on extra hot?

heleen said...

YOUR. SHOES.
Lovelovelove!

I'm also very excited to see your new skirts!

nice! fringe always gets me..i love it. this outfit put together so great with that leopard coat. and i am drooling over the boots and i have been looking for a pair like those. xoxo

thehautepursuit said...

Mmmm I've seen this jacket at H&M but dared not to try it on in case I decided it was too cute to pass up! I think a darker lining will do the trick. Are you going to miss NYFW???

fashionforwriters said...

You're so super cute! As for the leggings, maybe wash and dry them in another country! That always seems to shrink my clothes down two sizes :( but maybe it's a good thing for clothes that are getting baggy.

Thank you so much for visiting our blog! We love love love your blog.

adele said...

the leggings are genius! i think my favourite part is the shoes, though, they're such a nice shape.
also i love the people running past in the background, haha! so good. i'm always too scared to have my picture taken where people can see, though.

Rae said...

I love the leggings they're so cute! Although I don't know how to fix them so I hope they last a little longer! haha!!

Oh, I think I have those leggings but I have not worn them out yet. It makes me sad to think that they may lose their shape quickly. Oh well. I guess that's the risk we take for loving them to death.

wonderful photo with the people running in the background ...
I don't think the lining makes the jacket look cheap - but of course, everyone will identify it 'cause it's the typical H&M lining ... love the leggings a lot - and your smile.

Technology really is an inescapable aspect of our daily lives, and I think it is safe to say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory falls, the possibility of uploading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about almost every day.
