Not Just a Denim Shirt

DENIM DENIM DENIM...

..............................................................

... it is nothing new to the fashion scene that DENIM,
our long standing always stylish fashion friend, is back for 2012.


Denim on denim, torn distressed denim and embellished denim is all the rage.
And denim shirts have taken over fashion blogs, lookbooks and stores with rage.

And it's a good thing too. 
A standard denim shirt not only suits everyone, but can also be customized in so many ways to suit your individual look:


Pics from Weheartit.com!


Whether you cut off the sleeves, cut off the bottom to create a crop, paint
your own slogan on it, stud the thing up, distress it, dye it, bleach it, tie it in
a knot ... there are literally hundreds of creative things you can do to your average denim shirt...!


If you live in South Africa, you'll know that we're sliiightly (and not actually as bad as everyone thinks) behind the fashion times. However, I've dug around for some denim shirts that you can get your hands on today:

1. Kingsley Heath Denim Long Sleeve Shirt from Zando.co.za - R599

Love the little fold-up tabs at the sleeves...


2. Mens Acid Wash Denim Shirt from Mr Price - R119.99 
(I find Mr Price doesn't have nice denim shirts for girls.. however since a denim shirt is a bit androgynous, a guys one will do... Just open those buttons and roll up the sleeves to make it sexy and cute)



2. Light Wash Denim Shirt from Mr Price - R119.99

This coloration is great for summer..!!


3. Levi's Western Shirt from 36 Boutiques - R799



4. Old Khaki June Western Denim Shirt with Elbow Patch from 36 Boutiques - R350



Alternatively, go scratch in you mom/aunt/grandpa's cupboard and you're BOUND to find something... ;)

ENJOY the never ending DENIM trend

Miss Ivy Loves - Embellished Collars

DETAILED COLLARS...

.............................................

... Have finally arrived to South Africa.
I've spotted these babies all over the net and finally I saw
some AWESOME designs when I walked into Cotton On the other day.

Such a cute little thing to have on a sheer or cotton shirt, and also pretty
easy to Do It Yourself :) 
I've come across some rad DIY tutorials online recently...

So Cotton On is cottoning onto the whole pastel ice-cream cakey palette that we've seen in all major labels for Spring and Summer this year
(my fav was the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2012 collection... MAJOR love for that!)
and in this range they have some stunning sheer blouses with studded and lace detailed collars.

Here are a few they have in stores at the moment:


Stud Collar Shirt - Find it HERE


Ryder Tipped Collar Shirt - Find it HERE


Daria Collar Detailed Shirt - Find it HERE


Daria Collar Detailed Shirt - Find it HERE

There really is a collar for every type of trend and the variety just keeps coming - Below are a few images to inspire you 
( thanks weheartit.com )






Also look out for Collar Necklaces... Very cute to pair with a basic tee!!





Love this trend!!
ENJOY
