Christmas Gift Guide & WIN A FREE Handbag!

Happy December everyone! I can’t believe that it’s Christmas in just a couple of weeks, and then we will be going into a brand new year! But first of all, it’s the time for giving gifts to your friends, family, and loved ones, so I thought I would put together a little guide for you all, and give you the chance to win a free handbag! Just because it’s Christmas and I love giving back to you all as a thank you for supporting me! And if you love the jewellery above that I photographed, you can read more about that below! A great gift option at this time of year would be one of these JORD bags! I saw these a couple of months ago and I thought that they’re so festive and pretty! The little gold flecks in the black cork clutch/cross-body bag is super pretty! I can just imagine this bag being worn at New Year! These bags have a vegan leather lining, and the external is a cool cork leather, which I think is very unique! You can click here to shop the handbag collection, and here to shop the entire site as they sell amazing watches! As I’m sure you remember from a JORD watch review I did before! And now here’s the good part! You can WIN a FREE JORD handbag! I have teamed up with JORD to give one to one of my readers! This is a great festive giveaway though, because even if you aren’t the winner, you still receive a 20% off code just for entering! If you are chosen as…

What To Know Before You Buy An Allsaints Leather Jacket

Ultimate Allsaints Leather Jacket Buying Guide for men and women! If you are a long time reader of my personal fashion blog, you will know that I have been a fan of Allsaints for as long as I can remember! We’re talking as far back as 2006 when they used to be quite different! Over the years, I have amassed quite a collection of leather jackets from Allsaints, and I think that number stands at around 12! I have about 5 Balfern’s, 4 Dalby’s, 2 Elva’s, and another older style! I’ve had more in the past, but I’ve sold them to make room for new, so I have quite an extensive knowledge on Allsaints leather jackets and am regularly asked questions about sizing and ordering online on my social media platforms, as well as here on my blog. I also have a lot of knowledge on the men’s jackets too. With that in mind, I thought it would be a good idea to put a buying guide together and teach you everything I have learned when it comes to buying an Allsaints leather jacket! These tips will help you end up with the right size! So, lets get to it! Choose which design you like, think versatility! When it comes to picking out your leather jacket, whether you’re male or female, if it’s your first one, go for something versatile. It’s going to be a jacket that you reach for regularly, one that you want to wear all the time, so make sure it’s a classic! Take a look at your wardrobe and figure out what kind of design would…

Currently Craving Wish List: November 2020

Halloween has come and gone, and usually once we hit November, I know it will soon be Christmas! It’s scary to think how quickly this year has gone by actually, but it doesn’t stop me craving new items all the time! So here is my November Currently Craving Wish List, and there’s so many gorgeous pieces on it… I honestly can’t buy them all, which is such a shame! Allsaints have really hit it hard this season with their new Autumn collection and I literally want 80% of it! Hence why there’s quite a few items by them in the look book below, ha ha! But I’m obsessing over the sweaters layered over dresses look! I genuinely can’t get enough of it! So take a look at the items below and scroll through with the left and right arrows, then click the pieces you want to buy. Happy shopping!     First up from Allsaints is a satin burgundy dress with a burgundy sweater layered over the top. How perfect would that be for this time of year? It’s simply stunning! Now I’ve also included this style dress in various other colour ways, so you will find a gold metallic option, a brown tortoiseshell version, a black combination with a cardigan, and a grey option as well. All of them are stunning! Next we have the sage green Balfern leather jacket by the brand, and I am desperate to own that! I’m visualising it with neutrals like beige, grey, and black! Then there’s a beautiful shirt with peacock feathers on it (which I absolutely need), a red leather Balfern jacket…

Currently Craving Wish List: September 2020

It’s time for my Currently Craving Wish List again! This time it’s September, and that means I can officially start including some Autumn pieces as we’re well on our way to entering my favourite season! The layering, the leather, the denim, the boots… It’s the best time of year for fashion and I get so inspired by everything around me (especially the colour palette), that I try to save up my money as much as possible during the Summer, to splurge when Autumn hits! There’s always so many combinations and outfits to wear, but not enough time to get them all done! Anyway, I have selected 20 different pieces in the look book below, so if you like any of them, just click each image and it will take you to purchase! Let me know what items you love right now! Lorna xx.     First up is this gorgeous knitted dress from Abercrombie & Fitch, which I think is really perfect for this time of year. Teamed with some boots and a chunky cardigan! I also picked up a couple of their knitted midi skirts, which you can see here in brown, cream, and black, so I recommend those! Then the last item from A&F is a faux suede jacket in tan, which you honestly cannot go wrong with! The second item in the look book (and featured as a main image above) is the Saint Laurent Lukas boots in Nut Suede. I have these in the mail actually, as I ordered the West Harness (women’s version of Wyatt) but they didn’t work out for me. I also have…

Currently Craving For Women & Men

Gosh, it’s been a long while since I did a Currently Craving entry! That’s not to say that there haven’t been any pieces that I didn’t want over the last few months, as there absolutely have been, but I’ve had different priorities lately and wasn’t just buying new things every week. I’ve probably only bought 5 new clothing items in the past 3 months, but there’s so many things I’m longing for right now! I know I have a good amount of male readers here too, so I didn’t want to leave you out. I love men’s fashion as much as I love women’s, sometimes more, so I’ve included a little roundup for you too! Just scroll through the interactive images below and click the product you want to buy. WOMEN     First up, as you can see, is that amazing Allsaints Balfern Leather Jacket in Tan Brown. Isn’t it incredible? I absolutely love the colour! I want this jacket so bad! Then we have a beautiful little crystal and gold bracelet, and another piece from Allsaints: the Tajpur shirt. I actually own this shirt as I bought it when it was first released, and I adore it! I definitely recommend it! Next is a pair of 7 For All Mankind distressed skinny jeans, a Topshop roses playsuit, a stunning Allsaints denim jacket (which I’m wanting now!), and some WeWoreWhat grey skinny jeans. I haven’t heard of that brand before, so I’m intrigued by them. Then we have a multi-coloured Gucci bag, which is super cute, and a leopard print playsuit from Topshop. I’m really feeling the blue and…

Currently Craving Wish List: January 2020

January has come and gone, and it’s time for my next Currently Craving wish list. I’ve selected 20 different items in this one and I’m craving each one of them! There’s some pieces here that are suitable for Spring and some pieces that are still working well for the current Winter weather. I also wanted to let you know quickly about Copy Cat Perfumes (see here), they make scents that are very similar to your favourite designer ones, but they’re not branded, so they cost a fraction of the price! That might be really useful for anyone looking for a couple of new perfumes! Anyway, getting back to my wish list, let me tell you what’s inside the shoppable look book below! First up is the L’AGENCE Margot in Green which I recently purchased and I love them! They’re such a beautiful colour for Spring and I can’t wait to wear them. I also included the same jeans in a Cream colour and they look beautiful too. Now from Mango, there’s a beautiful beige colour Mac, a white wool sweater, and a crisp white shirt. All of these are wonderful basics and are a must! If you want something fun, there’s the ACNE Manhattan sneakers in Neon Yellow, which are pretty cool! Now getting to Topshop, I’ve selected a few items from them! There’s a beautiful black and white blouse, a white teddy/sherpa coat (which I bought last weekend and am obsessed with, so you will be seeing it soon!), a snake print shirt, a beige PU leather shirt, a blue Micro Nylon Cross Body Bag and a plaid blazer!…

Currently Craving Wish List: December 2019

This is going to be my last Currently Craving Gift Guide of the year 2019! I can’t believe it’s already the 19th of December and in just a few more days, we’re heading straight into 2020! That’s crazy! I’ve included a few pieces here which are usual in these wish lists, like clothes and things, but also a few gift options too! Starting out, I have the Rebecca Minkoff Brown Suede Edie cross-body bag and I think that’s gorgeous! I want that myself! Then there’s a delicious smelling Holiday scented candle, which I own and love, the smell is divine! Then there’s the L’AGENCE Foil Metallic cami top, perfect for New Years Eve. I also chose this COACH 1941 camera bag as it’s petite and the print is gorgeous. I thought this Versace Printed Button Down Shirt was really cool too, if you have a little more money to splurge on an outfit. Now getting to denim, I’ve selected these Citizens of Humanity Emery Jeans, which are a boyfriend mom style and a pair of their Olivia Jeans, as well as their new Chrissy high rise skinny jeans in grey. I think any of these three will be fantastic! I’ve also selected the R13 Western Cowboy Boots because they’re super pretty and cool, I’d love to wear those! If you want something a little more feminine, I’ve chosen this Shashi Desire Bracelet, as it’s beautiful. Then I can’t make a list without including anything from the Allsaints sale, can I? I selected their Allsaints Dalby Dark Raspberry Leather Jacket, a pair of their Leopard Boots, a Blush Pink Scarf, and…

Currently Craving Wish List: November 2019

It’s crazy to think that this is going to be the last wish list of the year 2019 now! My next one will be a Christmas gift guide and then we will be in January! Is anyone else finding that this year is creeping up on them? It’s all coming around so fast! I have my advent calendar though to start opening on Sunday! On my wish list this month are a lot of items that I am obsessing over right now! The Gianvito Rossi gold boots above, I have wanted those since I saw them in London and they just went in the sale on FarFetch, so I got them for a really good price! 40% off! I also finally picked up the Jimmy Choo Cruz Boots, which I know you know I have wanted for months! This time of year and sale prices are incredible! They were 30% off with an extra 30% off that. How could I say no?! Anyway, getting to the rest of the items, there’s a really pretty purple maxi skirt, which would be beautiful for parties at this time of year. Next is the AGOLDE jeans which I just picked up today in the Shopbop sale! I hope they fit! Then there’s a pair of L’AGENCE Coated Leggings and some Tuxedo pants, which I have put on my list of wanted pieces. I’ve also included a pretty glitter cami top from Mango, as well as a coat from them in a pretty stone shade. Staud Frida have a beautiful perspex bag too, which I thought would be ideal for the festive season, and…
