If it was good enough for Joseph..

...yes we're talking technicoloured coats (and yes, I do know all the words still to pretty much every song.  I LOVE this musical...).  But I digress.  We're talking jackets actually, not coats.  And it's a topic I could wax lyrical on for hours and hours. 

So I'm going to ease you in gently today but just to warn you, I'm on a jacket mission.  And ones that are in your face and unashamedly bright.  I might end on a more sombre note later in the week with some toned down blazers (what do we think?  Do we need a blog post on them?) but today and over the next couple of days we are talking jewelled tones - happy, smiley numbers. 

And today it's my favourite - leather versions.  They're not going to be ALL super brightly coloured but I'm not going to include any black ones. 

First up one that's been on my radar - BLUE.  It's not navy but it could be seen as a twist on navy (she says thinking actually that's the most ridiculous thing I've said in a while..).

Quilted panels leather jacket at Mango was £119.99 now £89.99

Mango really is the place to go for coloured leather. 

Green?  OH HELLO! Leather Biker Jacket £119


They do the same jacket in a lot of different colours.. some of which I'm not as sure of... lavender?  Hmmm I have to say the jury is out here. 

Leather biker jacket in lavender £119.99


Red at Mango.  I will say though, the only issue I have with red (and I was obsessed with them last year if you remember) is I can't look at one now and not think Thriller.  I wish I could unthink it, but I can't.  That's my problem and not anyone else's so crack on if you love red - I wish I could!

Leather Biker Jacket in Red £119.99


They also do it in a more subtle red.. THIS.  This is much, much more my cup of tea.

Again £119.99


This is another very wearable shade of red in my opinion. 

YAS Leather Biker Jacket £140


My favourite hush Onyx jacket in blush £295


Collarless at Mango in yellow was £119.99 now £89.99 (which they also do in black..).



Suede at All Saints where there is currently a promotion on - up to 30% off.  These have 20% off. 

All Saints Suede Balfern Jacket in pale pink was £318 now £254.40


Or in the mint green suede.. rgnrhm5jj,l/hmh,gmmgeqå€#cv



I will give you a navy one as my nod to the subtle with one at La Redoute.  I'll start by saying that I did a paid promotion for them over on Instastories yesterday but this is not part of that at all.  Absolutely no commercial agreement to mention them on the blog - it's just that it's such a good deal (and one I have historically always mentioned actually.  As what's not to love...)  They currently have 40% off EVERYTHING and that also includes things in the sale as well as branded items.  Code BIG40.

Navy Leather Biker Jacket from La Redoute was £199 now £119.40


And another subtle number, again at La Redoute.

Leather zip up jacket was £198 now £119.40 and then an extra 40% off.


I will tell you they also do it in black... although I do think it looks better in the tan.

Absolutely love this style like above.  Very much a take on a traditional leather jacket.  Above in leather and now in suede. 

Stich leather jacket from Mango £89.99

Or in the sky blue again £89.99



Similar shape at ASOS - I LOVE this one. 

ASOS Western Pocket Leather Look Jacket in Orange £45



For my project that I did with La Redoute yesterday, I was asked to pick four items and one of them was this green leather jacket which I absolutely love.

Leather Bomber Jacket in Green £219 pre 40% off with the code BIG40.


Faux leather at La Redoute in blue £39 (pre discount).


Faux leather in baby blue at La Redoute was £49 now £34.30



And here I am yesterday in a new dress and new trainers that I treated myself to from my favourite local boutique - Quattro Rish in Reigate.  I went on Thursday and got the dress.  And then went back on Saturday morning to get the trainers, more of which I'll bring you shortly...



Dress - Lolly's Laundry from Quattro Rish (current)
Trainers - Ishikawa from Quattro Rish (current)
Jacket - Zara (3 yrs ago)
Earrings - Alice's Wonders (gift current)
Belt - Topshop (ss17)
Bag - Hill & Friends (gift current)

So there are the leather versions, what other jackets do you wear?  Blazers? (check).  More eclectic versions? (for sure - have got them coming).  And I also think military... coming up shortly.  

Hope everyone has had an amazing weekend - I have a Monday Must Have coming up tomorrow and then we have two days before we go away on a mini cruise.  I've been invited on a Press Trip for the biggest cruise ship in the world - The Symphony of the Seas and can take the whole family with me.  I have ALWAYS wanted to do a cruise - I'm gutted it's only two days.  Can't.  Wait!
