Baggy jean bare essentials

Baggy jeans.They're the one essential that every gal should have in their wardrobe: no matter what kind of mood your in, the baggy jeans will always be in the mood for you. I think a lot of the time people simply place them in the "can't be bothered" pile - or perhaps you're using the "too hard to pull off" excuse. Stop! Drop! ...And thrift shop! (hahaha - but seriously!).

You're missing out. I honestly couldn't even count on both hands how many pairs of baggy, high-waist vintage jeans I have. My hope is to do a lil' bit of DIY but hey, let's be honest, I'll probably be 50 by the time that comes around... so here I am, rocking the old school Levi's that were most likely the reason that girl is now the girl. And I mean really, who doesn't want to be that girl? Ooozing with good vibes, an edge that's like no other and a style that speaks for itself.

And that's the great perk about vintage - It's never the same. All garments are authentically made, created and worn; embedded with memories, past and future, ready to be shown off, complimented and flaunted. Next spare moment you have, think about the outfit you have on - what memories do your clothing possess? When you're in vintage, it's not just another one of those manufactured pair of jean's. Your wearing life - you never know who wore it before you and better yet, who could potentially be wearing it in 50 years time.

And with my words spoken, here's to whoever got to cherish these amazing pair of jeans before myself.

Let me know what you think of vintage - yay or nay? Do you have that one vintage piece that you'll never let go of no matter what? Tell me! I'd love to hear your stories.

SPORTSWEAR X STREETSTYLE

So this is what I like to call Street-wear Steeze.

Right now, you may be asking yourself what on earth the term steeze actually is - but hey, let me tell you - it's all in the style (don't worry, not long ago I was asking the exact same question). It's a popular quirky term introduced by the young and reckless society published on Urban Dictionary... 

        Steeze: 'The combination of style and ease'  ie. "Damn girl, you got some steeze".

I love street style x sports wear. Its comfy and casual yet has the potential to be the most on-edge outfit, overflowing with tremendous amounts of steeze (yeah, I did just go there). The versatility of this trend is somewhat incredible and I can't stress enough the power to go nuts with this! Play with it, mix things up - Its street style, you can do whatever you like and in most cases, you'll pull it off (unless your having a FASHION101 breakdown!).

It's a trend that hasn't been amongst us in quite a while, therefore it's the opportunity for you to 1. make it your own and 2. set a trend within the trend. It can become luxurious and powerful, paired with the perfect pair of ankle hugging heels or, quite opposite, it can turn you into a street-style-B-Ball-playing-Goddess when complimented with those favourite pair of high-top sneakers that's been hiding in your cupboard, just waiting, screaming even, "WEAR ME". Take it from me, grab those bad boys out, and start making the most of this while it's still around. 

Right now, grab your wallet, head out shopping and grab yourself a jersey, or better yet, you may even have that Jersey that's been hiding in your cupboard, just waiting for that perfect opportunity, well, grab it out, put it on, and start walking with steeeeeze.

Don't wait for the steeze, let the steeze find you (humour intended - but honestly, just go for it!).

NOTE* Obviously I'm in a very humorous mood today - Hope you found my post somewhat comical.

On Wednesdays we wear white

Wednesday I'm in love, I'm all shook up.

On Wednesdays, we wear white. We clothe ourselves with confidence; enlightened by the influences of city lights and the sounds of sweet inner-city living. There's something about a Woman in White that intrigues the human eye to look twice, step back and embrace the captivating presence that goes beforth them. I love wearing white. No matter what mood strikes me, If I'm wearing white, I'm made new. You see, that's another amazing facet of style. Style has so many levels of influence both on yourself personally and the greater world. It has the power to create and contour your ability to think, feel, react and respond to the life you disclose your own. And that is why I love white. I long to feel forever renewed, with my shield I go forth, taking the city under my wing and seizing every open opportunity my big heart desires. I am a clean, white blank page. Now let's start writing...

My outfit of the day:

Cottonon black fedora hat - Sportsgirl dark red lipstick - Topshop white blazer - Minkpink white crop top - Bardot white leather sport pants - White peep-toe mirrored heels - Karen Walker Super Duper sunglasses - Nixon rose gold watch

Flaunt your faults and make it work: today's outfit of the day

It's cold, I'm cold and you're probably cold too. The rain drizzles on and and off, my hair goes from straight to curly and my white socks suddenly aren't oh so clean. So what do you do? Own it. Nail it. Flaunt your faults and make it work. Don't fight the wind, go with it. 

I'm wearing: Windsor smith shoes, topshop socks, factorie overalls, some days lovin' jacket, nixon watch, sabre sunglasses and a vintage oversized tee. 

Dig it.
