Alexa loves... Embelished Bikers

The embellished biker jacket is a piece which I intend to invest in for Autumn/ Winter 2016.
There are lots to choose from on the high street or if you are feeling creative you can make your own personalised jacket. Studs are widely available in haberdashery stores as well as online. Badges can also be found online. Esty offers a wide range of sew on badges by unique sellers, allowing you to put your own twist on one of the biggest trends this Autumn/ Winter.  

Alexa loves... Jackie the Musical

One of the best ways to spend evenings is loosing yourself in the plot of a show at the theatre and nothing beats a feel good musical. I have seen lots of musicals from Pricilla to Hairspray and I thought I had found my favourite in Dirty Dancing until I went to see Jackie the Musical.

 As a lover of all things retro and vintage this musical appealed to me as the costumes ranged from flared trouser to flower power mini dresses and the music included all the hits from the era including Get it on by T-Rex, Puppy Love by Donny Osmond and Could It Be Forever by David Cassidy.
The story follows the journey of a women who has recently split up from her husband and finds her old Jackie Magazines while clearing out the house. By the end of the performance the whole theatre were on their feet dancing, including my mum who also loved the performance as she used to read Jackie Magazine.
Jackie the Musical is a must see feel good performance which comes to a close on the 30th of July at Glasgows Kings Theatre so get you will have to book your tickets soon.

Alexa loves... Pleats

One of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe right now is my orange pleated skirt. Not only can it be dressed up or down for any occasion but it can also be worn in both summer or winter. Team it with a cami and sandals for a pretty summer feel and then as the weather turn cold wear it with a jumper and boots for an effortlessly cool winter look.

Alexa Loves... Embroidery

Trickling down from the Catwalks of Gucci and sported by celebrities such as Florence Welsh and Alexa Chung, embroidery has been everywhere this year.
From silk bombers to boyfriend jeans, it has made its way into every wardrobe this summer.
