Why I love Sequins

There's 2 things that I absolutely love in life. The Royal Family (weird, I know) and sequins. (Actually 3 if you include Ryan Gosling!). I've just finished watching the live stream show of the Ashish AW12 collection and my are we in for a treat next season. If I could wear head to toe sequins all day every day then I would and Ashish has confirmed everything I love about those tiny bits of sparkle.

A few weeks ago I was browsing the More! magazine blog and came across a website called Edie Mac. They are a website who specialise in statement, vintage pieces. The products are sourced from all over the globe and include knitwear, dresses, skirts and trousers, BUT, it was the trophy jackets section which caught my eye and lead me to this little beauty.

I've got a statement sequin jacket which I found in Rokit in Covent Garden last year. Yeah, I spend my nights getting caught on other people's clothing and my friends refer to me as "MJ" everytime I wear it but I love it and it really makes a boring outfit stand out. Now, the problem with vintage sequin pieces is that eventually the sequins do start to fall off (sadly MJ is withering away) so it was time to invest in a new piece.

I wore mine last week for our Press Show at work and everyone seemed to like it. Paired with a pair of skinny jeans and a cat print blouse (taking some inspiration from Victoria Beckham there) I really like the clash of prints.
