(on  a practical level, I went with a simple, colourless printed tee shirt, so as not to draw attention away from the jacket; bright red skinny jeans, which I think contrast well with the blueness of the denim; some colourfull bracelets and cross necklaces; and a basic black pair of boots)

In terms of the jacket itself, I found some cheap leopard print material, which I imagine you could find at any local craft store, and sewed it into the front pockets. I also put some studs on the pockets. I adore studs- I just think they're a fantastic way to put some detail into an outfit. They're also a great conversation starter- whenever I wear studs, I'm always asked: 'did you do those yourself?' They never fail to impress people- probably because most people don't realise how easy they are to do! I buy my studs from Love Craft haberdashery (check them out, they have a fabulous range of stuff! @ http://www.love-craft.co.uk/ )

Denim is just begging to be bleached! I mixed some standard household bleach with water and put it in a spray thingy (one of those things Cilit Bang comes in) then sprayed in patches on the jacket. It doesn't have to be obvious, but I think it gives the jacket a nice sort of washed-out look.

Spikes- very fierce!
