Belstaff Waxed ‘Sammy Miller’ Jacket / Three Floor Jeweled Collar Shirt / Topshop Skirt / Topshop Boutique Boots / Balenciaga City Bag
I realized the other day that I’d never actually posted what I wore for Fashion’s Night Out, only my roundup of the AllSaints event we spent most of the night at. I stumbled across these last night & so I thought I ought to post them, especially as they were kind of a big deal for me to get!
I hate doing photos in public, I am naturally a very shy person & it just makes me feel so uncomfortable, much to Ollie’s annoyance! He somehow coaxed me into taking some as we were walking to check out a few other stores & I felt pretty proud of myself for getting a few shots, that was until a group of Chinese tourists gathered around & started taking photos of me themselves! This drew even more people’s attention, which made me feel so embarrassed I just kind of awkwardly skulked off! Cringe!
Three Floor is fast turning into one of my favourite brands, the clothes are unique, well designed & in beautiful fabrics, they look far more expensive than their high street price tags. I know I’m going to end up with a huge collection from them, this shirt being only my second piece, especially as I want every single thing from their new A/W range!
I brought this Belstaff jacket quite a few years ago at a sample sale & it’s become my go to jacket for chucking on to dress down an outfit. I love the waxed cotton, it looks like leather from a distance, but it’s so much lighter & the way it breaks in, staying stiff on the collar but supple on the sleeves & waist, covered in creases & worn spots, is just perfect. It fits me like it was made for me & I love when jackets have heaps of practical features built in like this does. The crinkly noise it makes when you put it on might just be one of my favourite ever noises too!
PS: This was a few days after I got my black eye, on the night I remember being really paranoid that it looked really bad, but looking back at these I think my heavy duty MAC concealer did a pretty good job of disguising it! Shame it couldn’t do anything about the puffiness though!

hahaha I can’t believe the Chinese tourists started taking photos of you tooo :) so funny. You look AMAZE so I can understand why. I am so scared of street photography, people can’t help but look. x
Maria says

Taking photos in public is always so cringe! I usually have to be drunk…
FAIIINT says
Haha! I think the Moscow Mules I’d had at AllSaints just before probably helped massively in getting me to do these! ;)
Paola says
Oh wow you gorgeous gorgeous girl! I LOVE the first photograph of you- in black&white (and without the balenciaga!) could be vintage. I think I’m photographed obsessed.
FAIIINT says
Aww, Paola! Thankyou! :)

I used to be a little camera shy, now I just seem to block out the entire world when I do photo’s in public (seldom but you know) – I figure I don’t know them and they don’t know me and chances are I Will never see them again.
Love what you wore by the way, that leather jacket is awesome!
Miranda says
You may hate taking pics in public, but these rock! I love the look and the “cool girl” layers you are working with ;)
XX,

J. says
You look incredible! (I’m into the black and white.)
Yeah, blog photos in public are kind of weird…that’s why mine remain in front of my door…
Style Hostess says
I’m always stunned by your outfit posts from time to time. They are always so inspiring.
so bold with that superb touch of bling into every rock, tomboy-like feel.

Lenne says
Hahahaha for some reason your post reminds me of this hilarious article from Vice:http://www.vice.com/read/my-brother-was-in-chinese-boy-band-395-v17n4
For all you know, you might already be a celebrity in China! :D
FAIIINT says
Hahah! That is hilarious! Vice always cracks me up! :D

Don’t be shy about having your pic taken, you always look gorge. Have you not seen the photos of me on my blog paha? I love that the tourists were taking photos of you, I bet they thought you were a model. Your shirt is lovely, I love Three Floor but haven’t bought anything from them…yet! xxx
FAIIINT says
Ahh! Don’t be daft, you are beautiful Josie! :)
Yeah, I get the feeling I’m going to end up with quite a collection, soo nice! Keep an eye on BENGT I got the shirt for 75% off in their sale!
Clare Marie says
This outfit is so beautiful, with the jacket and everything, and that baggg, oh my god. I have almost bought that bag so many times but I can’t ever quite bring myself to spend that much on it! haha, it is amazing, though. xx
Izzy says
haha I’m also very shy about taking photos in public. but you look gorgeous in these photos! :) totally love the jewelled collar.
Anette says
I hate photos in public too, makes me feel really uncomfortable, but the results are usually great. I wish I wasn’t that shy and you shouldn’t be. You look amazing!:)
Sonia says
That jacket is beautiful! This whole outfit is beautiful and if you hadn’t mentioned anything about a black eye I would not have even known – not that I can find any evidence of it to begin with! And yeah you definitely deserve a pat on the back for taking those photos out in a crowded walkway, it’s one of my main problems for withholding street style snaps of my own outfits, haven’t grown the balls to do it yet and plus I would have died if some Asian tourists stopped and started taking photos too! OMG O_O LOL!
Have a great Sunday,

steph says
Ollie did an amazing job with the photos, love the whole look and feel of these ;) I’ve just discovered waxed denim and I can’t believe I didn’t buy some sooner (I got some jeans).. the jacket is really gorgeous and is that skirt a lot longer in the back? Love it! And you know, the Chinese tourists probably thought you were a model!
FAIIINT says
I love waxed denim too, I have so many pairs of waxed jeans, but they all need re-waxing now!
The shirt is actually a dress – it’s short & white on the front, black & floor length at the back, so I tucked the front in & left the back un-tucked which is what you can see in the photos! :)
Kaitlin says
Love the top! x
Mika says
The story about the Chinese tourists is so funny! They probably thought you were some kind of celebrity or something and they have no shame in taking photos of everything they see on vacation haha. And I never would’ve remembered about your black eye until you mentioned it; you covered it up real well :)
Victoria says
The chinese girl probably thought that you were a celebryty! haha you look gorgeous so I can understand why! I feel the same about taking photos outside when there is a lot of people around! x
