The weather is getting cooler but it's not yet cold enough for faux fur and woolly hats. Over the past few weeks I've been wearing my leather/faux leather jackets while I still can! I have a few different ones but new additions to the family are always welcome, check out my latest baby...
Jacket: c/o Great Plains - Tee: Wildfox - Trousers & Fedora: Primark - Boots: New Look
I think faux leather jackets are brilliant these days, it's sometimes impossible to tell them apart from the real leather ones. This yummy seattle pleather jacket is from Great Plains, a brand I wasn't that familiar with until recently! It's part of French Connection so rather unsurprisingly, it's also pretty darn stylish. I spotted lots of nice Autumn/Winter pieces when I was browsing their site but this jacket was my favourite and the most 'me'.
To give you an idea of sizing, mine is a size small which is a 10. I do usually take a size 8 in jackets so this is slightly roomy on me but I wanted space to put knitwear under it! It has a lovely satin lining and it's great quality, much better than my old faux leather Topshop biker. I paired it with my tartan trousers from Primark (a bargain at £13ish), fedora and Becksondergaard scarf for a rather Autumnal look.
I've also had a bit of a fringe trim, I think it'll take a while for me to get used to having my brows on display again! I feel so exposed now I've ran out of Brow Zings haha. If you're wondering if I'll ever take this hat off, the answer is no. No I won't.
Have you shopped at Great Plains before? Are you a fan of faux leather?

I've got a shirt from Great Plains and I think they have some lovely items. This jacket reminds me of one I've got with black sheep skin - faux as well, still a bit too warm to wear it though :o). Xx

Such a bargain too.
DeleteI am so loving those trousers! x
ReplyDeleteThey sold out pretty quickly, so glad I nabbed a pair when I did. x
DeleteI always feel the same after a fringe trim - that's the beauty of having one as unruly brows can be hidden from public view!
ReplyDeleteYES lol! <3
DeleteI'm in love with that hat!

Thank you Vanessa, it was such a steal. :)
DeleteI'm dying over those trousers! I can't believe they're Primark! Why does my rubbish one never have any good stuff like this?! Wah! The jacket is gorgeous too, would never have guessed it was pleather if you hadn't of said.
ReplyDeleteThey sold out so quickly, I think it was a case of being in the right place at the right time haha! It's really hard to tell it's faux up close too, really impressive. <3 x
DeleteSuch a gorgeous jacket on you!
