Bracher Emden for Jean-Pierre Braganza Leather Belt * / Costume Dept. Asymmetric Dress / ASOS Spiked Choker / Topshop Boots
This belt from Bracher Emden makes me feel like a super hero in disguise, it’s one of those things that as soon as you put it on you morph into this super confident, kick ass type of character. The width & tightness make it impossible to slouch, so you are automatically given a more confident posture, but it’s the unusual angular shape, mix of textures & geometric slices that really make a statement. Like all of their bags it’s beautifully constructed in the most gorgeous leathers & has the signature magnetic fastening to the back, making it look super slick from all angles. I love that all of their pieces are very statement making without being too fussy, even though they’re often intricately detailed, the tone on tone colours & graphic shapes keep them looking very clean & minimal too.
I kept the rest of the outfit pretty simple & in keeping with the super hero kind of theme, chunky boots & a hint of spikes was all it needed. I love this dress from Costume Dept. it’s really basic but the asymmetric neckline makes it that little bit more interesting. I brought it from the sale on ASOS, having never heard of the brand before & have since been unable to find hardly any of their other pieces, they don’t even appear to have a website. It’s a real shame, I’d love to see what else they have to offer & would gladly buy more pieces if they’re anything like this dress.
How awesome is this huge boulder we found in the middle of a park? I love how it looks as though it could be the middle of some barren desert, except we’re actually in the middle of a city! It was also ridiculously windy despite the bright sun, which is why my hair is having a ‘Something About Mary’ moment in the first image…

Such beautiful photos, that belt is incredible. Can’t believe you are in the middle of a city, it look like you are by the Grand Canyon haha. Oh and the last belt you wore, Ann Demeulemeester must of taken inspiration from because she used a similar one in her SS13 collection. x
Crystal says
you could’ve told me you were in the desert and I would’ve believed you had a secret hideout there. i feel like that belt can pretty much transform any outfit it touches too, brilliant find. xx

GORGEOUS!!!
I have a dress with a large belt that I always feel like I have superhero powers in- I can’t describe it, but I love that clothing can bring out that side in all of us. Have a lovely weekend!
FAIIINT says
Thankyou! & yes, I think it must be something about large belts! I have a couple & they all make me feel kinda ‘super’! The way clothes can completely change your whole attitude & give you such a confidence boost is what made me fall in love with fashion in the beginning! :)

If I say PERFECT, that’s not enough. The belt is really original and the rest of the look is really sexy. I like the dark eye makeup.
Kisses and thanks for your answer. You now appear in my “blogs that I read” section :D
Nice weekend xxx

Although you wear black a lot, you always seem to reinvent yourself and look completely different every time. Phooey to those who say black is boring! (where I live black is the unofficial uniform, and we get hassled a lot for it!) Needless to say, you look gorgeous x
FAIIINT says
I think that’s one of the best thing about an almost entirely black wardrobe, it’s so fun & interesting doing it in different ways! :) I never understand those people who say it’s boring, I think it’s only boring if you let it be – you can have so much fun with it & get away with quite OTT things that would look ridiculous if the garment was in colour! ;)

That boulder is so deceiving… I thought you were on the beach by a cliff! It totally fooled me. Your belt is just gorgeous! It makes such a statement, I love it. Beautiful photos, you look amazing! xx
