Capsule Collection

I'm going to start off my blog with a 10 piece "capsule Collection" of what defines my style and my must have essentials. As a feminist and a woman. it's important for me to feel confident within myself. I use clothing in several different ways. To express an emotional or a few, I really enjoy playing with my wardrobe and feel that I can play different characters and roles within it, I dress for comfort and subculture, and also to really give myself a boost if I need to. Why do you choose the pieces you have in your wardrobe? Please feel free to message me with your own!

1) Chanel Oversized Tote. Must have for me! I love huge bags and i have a hectic lifestyle so I carry everything with me! I also prefer to carry over my shoulder as I find carrying a huge bag on my forearms or in my hand really impractical. Also it needs to be sturdy, of good quality and able to withstand much wear and tear. It needs to comfortable and have thick steady straps and handles too. Love!

2) The Leather Biker Jacket. I love love love biker jackets and I have several. These could be spiked, fringed, graffiti, padded and quilted! Hell to the yes please!
3) The Shearling Coat. There needs to be something quirky or edgy though. And I prefer longer versions. This particular one below is a Helmut Lang version. Minimalist but a strong design.
4) Statement Jewellery: I love statement pieces, especially if they are chunky or intricate. I absolutely love Pamela Love, Sisters of the Black Moon, and Regal Rose. The piece below is from Pamela Love.
5) Dr Martens: Boots and sandals. Especially the chunky heel. Below is the Agyness Deyn for Dr Marten.
6) Denim: Anything and everything denim! Especially distressed or ripped.
7) Oversized Knitwear: Comfortable as long as not real wool. Looks gorgeous and very versatile.
8) Jersey: One of the most important staples in my wardrobe. Excellent for several occasions and also for hot weather and days when I just need room to move around comfortably. Draped jersey is divine and makes any woman any size feel gorgeous and sexy. The piece below is from All Saints.
9) Leather Trousers: Biker; distressed leather, quilted..... the list is endless! The pair below are from All Saints again.
10) The Jumpsuit/Romper suit/ Play suits: Nuff said! Any fabric.... Yes please! The bottom piece is from Topshop... how stunning.
 So this is my first blog post and my perfect and essential must have 10 piece "Capsule Collection". Please feel free and send me yours with your name, city, and how you would describe your body shape. I'm hourglass and soft :P
