ALLSAINTS Dalby Leather Biker Jacket Review

Allsaints Dalby Leather Biker Jacket Review I’m excited to be sharing a new leather jacket review with you! We all know how much I love them and when I saw this one, I fell in love instantly. I will admit that it was an impulse buy as Adam and I had just walked into Allsaints to kill some time and browse around, fully intending not to buy anything, but then I saw it… The rest of the story will unfold in the review below for you. This was when I first fell in love with the minimal and sleek design of the Dalby, and I have since purchased 3 more! I own the Dalby in Black, White, Burgundy, and Blush Pink. That’s how much I love it! It’s one of Allsaint’s most classic and popular designs, along with the Balfern (see my Allsaints Balfern leather jacket review), so read on and see why you need this jacket too! The Fit & Design The Dalby is much like a classic biker cut, it features simple lapels that snap down securely with poppers so they don’t flap about (a design detail I love), and a slightly cropped fit. It has no belt around the bottom, no over the top zips, just two simple zipped pockets on each side and a sleek, minimal design all over. The main zipper is asymmetrical, giving it a more flattering look when it’s zipped up, but as I never zip my jackets up (due to a larger chest, smaller waist/shoulder ratio), that’s not really something I can talk about. Overall though, this design is something that I’m…

Currently Craving Wish List: August 2021

Happy Sunday! For those of you that read my last blog post and know that I am currently in Croatia, I am having the time of my life here and I’m leaving very soon! I just have one day left! It’s crazy how these two weeks have just flown by, and I will be in the USA! Just like how the months go by so quickly, it’s time for another Currently Craving Wish List, this time for August, and I’ve selected 20 different items that I want to purchase! So, take a look at the look book below!     First up is a gorgeous gold Vita necklace from my newest brand obsession, Daisy London. Isn’t this gorgeous? It would look so good as a layering piece! I’ve also chosen some of their silver hoop earrings in this look book too, as I own the gold ones exactly the same, but would love silver too! Next is a pair of Golden Goose sneakers. I already own a few pairs as you might remember from my Golden Goose sneakers review, but this pair has a cartoon element to them that I think is extremely cool! They are 100% on my wish list! Then there’s a pair of DL1961 washed black skinny jeans that I really want to own, as they look so comfortable, as well as the same pair in white! There’s a pair of Abercrombie & Fitch blue jeans, with a more on trend cut, and then something I adore… The ACNE Studios Mock Leather Biker Jacket. Isn’t it incredible? It comes with a hefty price tag though, so it’s…

Currently Craving Wish List: July 2021

It’s that time again! It’s time for my currently craving wish list for July! I honestly do not believe how fast the time goes every month. There’s quite a few cool pieces I have included here in the look book below, but first up I wanted to share these pretty stackable rings from AU Rate with you as I am literally obsessed with them! I’ve recently developed a huge crush on gold (I just got some cool new gold earrings too) and I’ve been endlessly looking at so many different thin, cool gold rings, for multiple fingers, as I love the stacked look. Chain rings seem to be a huge trend at the moment, and I think they’re really unique and fun, so you’re going to be seeing quite a few stackable rings on my hands next month, I’m sure, ha ha! The rainbow stone one though, how amazing is that? The term ‘in love’ doesn’t fully express how much I love it!     Now moving onto the look book above, I’ve included lots of fashion items for you, mostly from my favourite retailers! There’s two different cropped t-shirts from Abercrombie & Fitch here, one in a dark dusty pink, the other in an oatmeal shade, and I’ve ordered both of them! There’s also two pairs of the brand’s Curve Love jeans. One is distressed in a mid to light blue, and the other is a solid light blue. Both are skinny of course, but I cannot wait for these to arrive! I’ve also added in a brown waist dress, and an orange bardot style top, both from Abercrombie…

Currently Craving Wish List: June 2021

Can you believe that June is almost over? We’re now over halfway through the year! This time is going so quickly, but nothing seems to be changing in terms of travel opening up unfortunately! But, this post is purely about my Currently Craving Wish List, and I’m focusing on some really cool pieces that have popped up recently, which I absolutely adore! So lets get to it!     I regularly include a lot of Allsaints pieces as I love their aesthetic and they’re more affordable than Saint Laurent/Celine etc. and my favourite piece from this round up is that gorgeous brown suede embroidered jacket! Isn’t that incredible? I’m obsessed with it! It does also come in Black, as you can see in the look book below, and then there’s another similar version in black, but with gold studs! I can’t get enough of these western inspired jackets. Starting the look book is the Allsaints brown leather dip dye jacket though, and it’s gorgeous! Not only do I love the colour, I adore the ombre! Also from the brand is an orange maxi skirt, which I know is perfect for the Summertime, along with some printed floral shorts, and a mustard yellow wool jacket. Now getting to the items I included from Abercrombie & Fitch, there’s this adorable lemon printed cropped top (which I own) and it’s so girly and cute! There’s also a white and blue printed dress, again it’s a piece that I bought, and I cannot get enough of it! And there’s a cherry printed linen shorts and top combination that is super pretty, so you can’t…

Currently Craving Wish List: May 2021

I’m a little late this month with my Currently Craving Wish List – May edition. I have been pretty busy lately, and things are getting back to normal now in the outside world, so it’s been nice actually going out to eat in a restaurant! Sometimes I like to spend some time away from my computer and just enjoy some other things for a while, hence why I posted less this month! I have a new shoot coming up tomorrow though, so I can’t wait to share those photos with you soon! Anyway, getting to my wish list, there are 22 pieces in the look book below, that I absolutely adore! Some of them I have ordered (you know the drill) and some of them are on my ‘to buy’ list. I love putting these posts together for you all, and I know a lot of you can’t wait for them either! I’ve had a couple of messages on Instagram, asking me when this month’s will be, ha ha, so here it is! As always, I will talk about what’s in the look book below, and you can shop the pieces by clicking the images as you scroll through, it will take you to buy the item directly!     Ok, first up, it’s this chic Allsaints Blazer and Shorts combination in a blush pink. Isn’t it stunning? This is the perfect Spring/Summer classic look, especially when worn with some loafers. I am absolutely obsessed with this! It’s such a vibe! Next up is a pair of MOTHER Denim Shorts that I have ordered and are currently in the mail!…

It’s that time of the month again (no, not the one that troubles us ladies, ha ha), it’s time for my Currently Craving Wish List! There’s a few pieces that I’ve included here that I’ve purchased, or are in the mail, and I’m super excited about them to the point that I had to share them!

They’re amazing, trust me!     So, first up, is the 525 Ombre Rainbow Cardigan! It’s selling out super fast and was tricky for me to get hold of, but it arrived this morning and I absolutely adore it! It runs really big though, so size down! It’s the perfect Spring piece! Next is a pair of MOTHER jeans that I really want as I love the bleached wash! Then it’s a pair…

Currently Craving Wish List: February 2021

Since the weather here in England, and across the United States, has been absolutely freezing and dismal, with either rain or snow, I wanted to try and warm things up a little bit with my Currently Craving Wish List. I’ve chosen a lot of pieces which are suitable for Spring here, and there’s some swimwear! Isn’t this bikini gorgeous? It’s by La Peche and it’s their Kiribati set in size medium. Click here for the bikini top and click here for the bikini bottoms. It’s such a nice quality and the print is really fun, perfect for those days at the beach or by the pool! Pomegranates and flowers aren’t something you often see together! The rope ties on the side are really sturdy, and the little metal logo just adds a little something extra to it! For sizing reference, I’m a 34D in Victoria Secret, and a size 28 in jeans. I took size medium and it does fit, but it’s more on the skimpier side, so it’s definitely not a full coverage bikini. I think this is flattering though and I really like it! I can’t wait for Summer! What do you think of it? I love it!     And now for the look book that I always include! I’ve actually ordered the Sundress rainbow dress and I can’t wait for that to arrive! I’ll be sharing it with you soon! Then there’s the blue Jacquemes bag! I have always had a little crush on their bags, but never got around to buying one. I included some Traveller Joggers from Abercrombie & Fitch too, as I need…

Currently Craving Wish List: January 2021

It’s time for my very first Currently Craving Wish List of 2021! I can’t believe that we’re already a week into January and Christmas was 2 weeks ago! The time is flying by! For this wish list though, I have included quite a few pieces that I absolutely adore, and also items that I have purchased! So, without taking up too much time on an intro, I’m going to jump straight into the products. First up, I wanted to include some earrings! As you know, I have my ears pieced twice in each lobe, and earrings are a passion of mine. I tend to spend ages looking for new ones that match, and then I wear them for a long while before changing it up. I always make sure that I wear real silver or gold though, as I have very delicate skin, so when I saw these gorgeous huggie earrings on the Au-Rate website, I was blown away by their beauty. I tend to love hoops, but I never go for large ones, I only like smaller, huggie style earrings, or just a little bit bigger. I’m also a huge fan of pearls, so a pair of huggie earrings with pearls hanging off? It doesn’t get much better than that!     Now we have my look book that I always create! It starts with this amazing Allsaints Balfern Suede Jacket in Tan. I recently purchased this from their website and I fell in love with it. The gold hardware and the rich, luxurious colour of the suede is stunning! I cannot wait to share this with you! I…
