Smack The Pony...

Afternoon all!

So I have finally got back on track with my fashion following...uni can be a bugger for taking up all of your time I tell you. Well...that and the fact I went to Istanbul again...If I could take you all shopping there I so would, the Grand Bazaar is what my heaven will look like I am sure of it.

I'm starting to get really bummed about this weather now as I really don't have clothes for such extreme freezingness. I've got a wardrobe full of clothes I love to wear but nearly all of them have their ability to keep me at a cosy temperature cut off between November and February and I am at a complete loss as to what I should wear on a daily basis that looks good and doesn't liken me to a funeral- goer. Don't get me wrong, I love black as it suits me...but black clothes designed for warmth usually fore go any sort of stylishness. Well I guess if one doesn't have a student budget finding cosy yet lovely winterwear is a lot easier!

Anyway, as I mentioned a few months ago, I am invariably drawn to anything equestrian. I love the mix of practical yet smart with a hint of good old English snobbery. Call me patriotic, I just can't help it...

As I was reacquainting myself with on- coming trends I found that jodhpurs are making a nice little reappearance which I'm not too unhappy about. This is of course depends on the cut of jods I must add. I'm pretty sure that not many people can pull of the lycra- abundant jods that Mrs. Beckham was sporting....In fact I can say that with certainty considering the fact that I spend a lot of time in the Summer faffing around stables and horse shows. White jods are not the most flattering of attire I assure you.

However, I quite like the new cuts of jod and to be honest they would look pretty good on a leg paired with some heels...that is if the pavements ever get dry enough to wear heels again...

I think these trousers would look pretty good dressed up with a high neck shirt/ blouse and a cute cropped jacket or laid back with a simple cotton vest or Tee...personally though I will be avoiding them as I'm not sure they are cut for the lady with hips...

Also, there seems to be a slight lack of high street versions so if anyone has seen any...give me a heads up:D...
