Leather Jacket Love Song

Leather jackets are for sure a staple piece that have earned their place in the wardrobes of men and women everywhere, even so, I never fail to be impressed by the variety of leather jackets that are available on the high street, and this season is no exception in fact i would say that this season i have seen the most variety due to leather jackets fitting into the current nostalgic vintage feel that has taken the catwalk and the high street by storm. I believe that leather jackets are a timeless classic so I therefore allow my budget to increase because they're so versatile and I'll defiantly (hopefully) get my money's worth.

Starting unusually with what River Island have to offer, I rarely shop at River Island but was surprised when I took a liking to their biker jackets after i saw them on Asos...

River Island
Colbalt Blue Biker Jacket

Asos had a huge collection from all kinds of brands including their own...

Asos
The WhitePepper PU Biker Jacket

                                 This is possibly stretching the overstretched budget too far

Back to familiar ground, here's what Topshop have to offer...

Topshop
 Leather Biker Jacket
£158

Topshop

This is just an unrealistic expectation of my bank balance

From this leather lesson I have learned that although some of the prices may be painful and at times eye watering, if you shop around and even look in places you would normally look you might be surprised by what you find. I'm not sure if you'll ever find a good quality bargain but I don't think I'd ever pay anything over £200 for a Leather Jacket.

Onto music news, in the early hours of this morning Arctic Monkeys official twitter page released the video for 'Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?'. The video, directed by Nabil shows a drunken Alex stumbling through dark London streets on his way to find a girl named Stephanie who is eager to see him if you know what I mean. Turns out that Alex was knocking at the wrong house, maybe you should have stayed in the pub with the rest of the band Al. Watch the video below.

Arctic Monkeys 5th studio album entitled 'AM' is out on the 9th of September.
