Wax on wax off?



After saving a few pennies I'm on the look out for the perfect little back number. Versatility is key, over little dresses and heels, to over a snug hoody for lectures the morning after. Topshop was my first port of call but with little success. Onto Zara, which never failed to please. Their TRF collection over these two gems, a real leather biker for £89.99 or little waxed number for £39.99. I am swaying towards to wax and matte finish will be more versatile and is something unusual against the generic leather bikers avalible in every good high street store in a matter of weeks.

Size?


Trainer Spotter have just just released their 2011 collection onto the public. There is an obvious theme with pieces named 'Grenade', 'Son of a Gun' and 'Bomb'. There is an American hip-hop style running threw all the designs, and the appearance on mickey mouse now and again. The pop art styles are sure to be a success. The styles can be found at Size?, ranging from £25 - £80.
Well worth a shout.
