Bomber Jackets to Die For!

This season the bomber jacket is a must have for your winter wardrobe, but there are lots of different styles of bomber jacket to choose from.   Here's six bomber jackets that all have their own different looks and if you can't find at least one of these that will blend in well with your wardrobe, well.......maybe you need a whole new wardrobe!

Classic Black Bomber Jacket


Let's first look at the classic black bomber jacket, although this one has a very on-trend fur trim along with quilted patches which gives a nod to the retro fashion it came from.

Retro Pilot Inspired Bomber Jacket


The olive green of this bomber jacket harks back to a retro Top Gun inspired jacket so if you're ready to 'get your 80s on' then this bomber jacket is perfect!

The embroidered patches helps to accentuate the retro feel of this cool jacket.

Glamorous Bomber Jackets - It's All About The Sparkle!


I've found two bomber jackets that I think of as a little glam, one is silver so great if you're following the metallic trend this season, the other uses sequins which are always fun!

Stripe Sequin Bomber Jacket

Topshop has taken the monochromic approach to this bomber jacket and has included the popular black and white stripes with dazzling sequins to add to the glam factor.   The ribbed cuffs give it a sporty feel which means you can wear this bomber jacket day or night!

Silver Quilted Bomber Jacket


Brought to you by none other than Saint Laurent this quilted metallic leather bomber jacket is described as a high shine bomber jacket from the label's 80s infused Fall 16 collection.

It's designed for a slightly looser fit which makes it perfect for layering and is perfect over an all black evening look to add a little bit of glamorous shine!

Faux Fur Bomber Jackets


Faux Fur is very on-trend at the moment and it can look great when combined with the bomber jacket look as I'll show you here.   You could just get a faux fur lined collar on your bomber jacket or you can add a little 'je n'ais ce pas' with one of these two jackets.....

This first faux fur bomber jacket is available in burgundy a very warm color that's very on-trend for this season and perfect for a look of warmth throughout winter.

If you're after a faux fur bomber jacket, but you aren't really feeling the metallic or deep jewel colors of the season then what about a neutral colored faux fur bomber jacket with a casual, boho chic feel to it?

Now before you think neutral is boring, let me tell you there's nothing boring about this jacket.  It's ombre, shaggy and it makes you just want to reach out and touch it.   I can't wait to try it on!

So which of these fun bomber jackets to you want this season?  Personally I want two of them - yes I know I'm greedy, but.....the classic black Georgina is a great bomber jacket that will fit beautifully into my wardrobe whereas the ombre faux fur is a jacket that I have fallen in love with!

Boho Style For Colder Months

Creating that Boho style that appears almost effortless to throw together is easy in summer and a lot of great looks can be created, but what happens as the cooler months roll in and late autumn turns into winter?

Well there's still lots of ways of creating a boho look, I've selected 9 pieces here which I'm going to talk about with you and show you ways in which you can use these (either the pieces themselves or as inspiration) to create lots of different looks.

Of course these pieces are just a few that I've found and you'll have your own pieces to use as well as jewelry and accessories to 'own your own look'.

I'd be very interested to hear your opinion on 'my picks' below in the comment section and to know if or how you'd incorporate any of them into your wardrobe for the upcoming season.


From Birdsnest you'll see I've selected both wide legged black pants as well as a black skirt and I think of these as cornerstone pieces for your Fall and Winter wardrobes. I couldn't resist adding the final item, a gorgeous top from Free People which I've fallen in love with. This top could be worn with either the skirt or pants and I absolutely love it although with the bare shoulders I'm aware that it may not be warm enough for some climates.

From Birdsnest I've included two different long vests which can be worn over skirt, pants, dresses etc to create that long floating line that really says Boho.   It also adds an extra layer which is very on-trend for winter fashions this year.

I've also included a hat as I think you need a good hat and I love the shape of the Jimmy Choo hat, although to be honest I'll probably be buying a different brand myself!   I think a fedora would look great, but chunky beanies are also a great look which can look great with Boho style and are also very on-trend this season.

The other two items I've added will go with a dress, pants or skirt and are about adding layers and warmth while keeping your style.   One of my favorite's is the Lola Contrast Gorilla Faux Fur Gilet from Missguided which is a very cool look for this winter as well as, I think, having some great Boho elements to it.   Next is the poncho which I would imagine is very warm if it's anything like the poncho I had last year (and it does look like it).   Ponchos are a great way of adding a touch of bohemian style to a costume so I just had to add it here.

So there you go if you want some Boho style this winter then hopefully I've given you some inspiration.

Fall into Winter Looks

If you're after a look that you can wear on lots of different occasions - we're talking what they used to call 'smart casual' and that will transition from Fall into Winter with ease then this skirt and top combo are perfect -


The colors are neutral - this black maxi skirt will be a universally useful wardrobe component that can be worn day or night. The top is really cool and as well as looking great with this skirt it is gorgeous with jeans or even the on-trend leather (or faux leather if you're on my budget!) black trousers.

The detailing on the top is a great way of getting texture into your outfit which seems to be very stylish for this coming winter season.    You could combine these two with a leather jacket, houndstooth swing coat, grey trench coat or even a bright red duster quite easily which shows just how versatile these two items of clothing are.
