Minted v Skinted: The White Sleeveless blazer

We all love a bargin, so here is a little bargin for you! ...provided you want to buy a sleeveless white blazer.

This blazer is from the luxurious, dead-trendy clean grunge brand Rag & Bone.  The cut is beautiful, the fabrics are expensive and the design is intricate.  Just look at the perfect stitching, the textured leather and the shape on the shoulder. *sigh*  

Unfortunately the majority of us cannot afford £370 jacket which we would wear on special occasions in the fear of spilling balsamic vinegar down it.  So I present to you the more bank-friendly version from ZARA. 

 

Belts belts belts: J D Solis

As I am British, and a little bit posh I thought I would share a timeless and rather stylish superbly English present idea for your hubby, brother, dad or boyfriend- it is valentines day coming up after all. 

"The J D Solis belt, is inspired by the history, heritage and style of Polo. By combining the classically stylish leather featured in the horse’s saddle and rider’s boots, with the colourful team jerseys, we have embodied the effortless style and character of Polo, allowing you to take it with you, wherever you go."

"The belts are made with woven rope and saddle leather enabling us to produce a belt that is timelessly stylish whilst being extremely comfortable around the waist. The belts also have no holes, the pin slots anywhere through the weave, meaning that you will never have to put up with a belt that is too tight or loose ever again"

So here are the beautiful quality belts:  I think my favorite is the burgandy "havana" belt as I think the colour really compliments the tan leather buckles: it's also more valentine-sy.  But you choose. . . .
