Fashion trend alert: Embellished outerwear

This weeks FTA (Fashion Trend Alert) is Embellished outerwear. I am really loving this trend, I first spotted this in Topshop and I had to research further!

On Topshop's website they show a huge variety of gorgeously embellished outerwear, it's all very edgy which suits my style perfectly, here's a few of my favourites


 Peace Studded Leather Biker Jacket - £180
This real leather jacket is amazing! The jacket itself is so on trend for Autumn/Winter and with the studded detail it gives it extra style points. This is definitely a statement piece and would suit so many different occasions such as shopping, cinema, out to lunch etc. this is a very edgy garment and would look amazing, paired with a simple t-shirt and leggings or thrown on over a girly dress paired with biker boots for a grungy look.


This is a more casual embellished piece and is probably more wearable due to the fact it's denim and not leather. Leather can be seen as quite harsh and can be difficult to dress down in comparison to denim. I Adore the studded detailing on the top of the chest, the shoulders and along the top of the back again it's very edgy which is why I have fallen in love with it, this jacket has  definitely earned a spot on my wishlist! 


Skull Studded Leather Biker Jacket - £180
This Jacket is a lot like the peace one in terms of style and fit, however the design is different. It shows a skull and cross bones, this makes the jacket even more edgy than the last one. Again this could be thrown over a girly frock or paired with  a simple tee and leggings and both would look effortlessly stylish.
MOTO Premium Skull Jacket - £90
This is absolutely gorgeous! this denim waistcoat has a huge embroidered motif on the back which makes it stand out, it also has an abundance of gems and studs along the top of the back. It also includes frayed denim around the arm holes and all over the front a few gems are scattered for a care free, fun vibe. I love the fun energy of this garment and in my opinion it is definitely very modern and stylish.
I really love this patriotic leather jacket. 2012 has been an extremely patriotic year for England; holding the Olympics  the Queens jubilee etc. These events have shown why there are so many reasons to love Great Britain and this Leather Jacket expresses that with the Union Jack shown in studs on the back, not only are you expressing your love for the country, you're expressing you style too!  

Celebs have also been spotted sporting the trend including Kim Kardashian, Demi Lavato, Nicole Scherzinger, Rita Ora and Miley Cyrus, here are some of my favourites...
Demi tocks her studded Denim Jacket with pink dip-dyed hair and a black dress, leaving the jacket as the statement piece. 

Kim again uses the embellished jacket as a statement piece in her ensemble, keeping to all black in order to show off the elaborate detailing.  

Rita chooses an electric blue jacket as a twist on the trend and rocks it with a simple tee and a lot o wrist wear. 


This spring embellished jackets appeared on the spring/summer runways at Balmain, betsey Johnson and Versace

 And they've also popped up on the Autumn/Winter showcases too like this stunning one here from Kanika Saluja 


That's this weeks FTA, I hope you enjoyed reading
