Zara Blazer...I love you

Just thought I'd do a quick blog post about the beautiful blazer from Zara that the dear boyfriend gave me for my 20th Birthday. It's a kind of navy/teal blue and tweed but in the photos it looks really navy! It has a gorgeous bright red lining which I loveee and the elbow patches & underneath the collar are a gorgeous, soft, camel coloured suede. As soon as I opened bag I fell in love with it. When worn with brown/cream chinos and leather boots it has a lovely equestrian feel about it. It's made from wool so can get slightly itchy when wearing a short sleeved top underneath it but it's not too bad. On the upside it's really warm! I'm wearing an XS which is really really fitted but I think that blazers need to be fitted especially when made from a stiffer material such as tweed as opposed to jersey. It was £69.99 so if you're looking for a really gorgeous smart blazer/ special treat I would give it a massive 9/10 :)





Wear it with...

These are just suggestions you can wear the blazer with whatever you like...tights and shorts or jeans and a checkered shirt like the example in the Zara photo.

I like to wear mine with chinos and my riding-esque boots.

These are the boots I have from Dune that I think they look great with the style of the blazer :) They're knee high with a small heel.

Bargain Alert!

H&M Half Price Blazers - £15

I was in the high-street earlier and went to have a mooch in H&M to see what they have. My colleague had told me yesterday that she got a blazer in there for £15 which I thought was a great price. But sometimes with cheaper blazers the cut isn't great and it doesn't fit that well or the range of colours is pretty poor. But not in this case! There was a fantastic array of colours - black, navy, burgundy, sand, red, pink and green (from what I could see) So I went ahead and tried on the burgundy and sand. To be honest I loved both and would have had one in every colour if I could!! But in the end (as I am a creature of habit) I bought the burgundy one as I just have a weird obsession with the colour haha. I'll post a photo of me in mine soon but make sure you go and have a look because they were a great fit, a thick jersey material with a nice lining and came in so many colours. Oh and they used to be £29.99 ;) I found a few images of it online to show you but the blazer looks far more casual when worn with the right clothing. So you can dress it up and down :) The colours of the images look slightly different to the material in  real life. My burgundy one is the second blazer along but it's actually redder than it appears here.

The Blazer looks great on!
