New Brazillian Brand - Nephew's 1st Collection

Live Fast Die Young

..........

”Work. Entertainment. Attitude. Inspiration. Amor. 

We are children of the W, X, Y, or any other letter that appears there.

 The truth is that we are crazy for news. 

To experiment, play and make things happen.”

Founded in 2012 by DJ Vitor Sobrinho the idea was born to fill the lack of good 

streetwear brands in his country.

Possibly the best menswear brand

I've seen in a while, and for their first collection,

I take my hat off.

So much energy, I fucking love it!

Go to the NEPHEW site to

see more!!

Style Crush - Miley's New Look

Miley Cyrus...

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

So lately it seems that a good few sessions

of pilates as well as a gluten-free diet

has left Miley weilding an

all-powerful toned sporty feminine sexy ass figure!!

go girl

And with this new little bod and gorgeously

tight arms and tum, she's free to wear some of my

fav Summer 12 pieces!!

Firstly, this little

grungy skull black and white playsuit is just SO cute, paired with

her 90's grunge round sunnies and black lace-ups, I'd say

this outfit is a WIN!

SECOND on the lift is my FAV ensemble:

High waisted denims and a sexy little bustier!

VERY 90's revival, especially with the check shirt to finish it off...

and I love the biker-esque booties, and again

her sunnies :)

WOW Miley... you've come a LONG way in terms of 

awesome on trend casual fashion.... I applaud!! 

And I'll even look past your near camel-toe ;)

River Island - Autumn 2012 Collection

River Island Autumn 2012...

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

... WOW. What a collection!!

In a nutshell, the latest River Island get-up for woman are split into 6, let's call them
Alter-Egos ;)

Downtown
Blogger
Prim
Scandi
Baroque
and Futuristic Goth

I am SO excited to see more of this range... However we're going to have to be (partially) satisfied
with the Autumn 12 Lookbook and a preview of a few of the totally DELISH garments going into stores!!

The Blogger trend sounds interesting... It has been picked up lately that higher fashion brands
are keeping a keen eye on popular or influential online Fashion Bloggers, which I think is genius,
and apparently rumour has it that a few of these said bloggers are doing a colab with River Island to develop
a Blogger accessories range for Autumn, so keep an eye out for that!! I can't wait to see more...

Even though I lean more towards to alternative grungy rocky look, I must say I find it
hard to not love every facet of this collection! Each peice works back well to one another and the colour
palettes all mesh nicely.

NEW Key trends to look out for:

The Skater Skirt
Newness in PRINTS : Paisley, Over-sized Houndstooth and Tartan and Tweed is back again!

And them some continuation of trends we've all loved lately:

Sheer fabrics
Maxi lengths
Studs
Metallic washes (especially on knits)
Graphic Tees!!
Faux Fur (now trending in clashing colours...)
Denim on Denim
Tribal Prints
Animal Prints
Neons ... and a few others.

Altogether a very vibey collection full of newness for the Autumn! Something for everyone to
dig their paws into!!

Here are a few of my favs.... Otherwise visit the River Island site and see more for yourself!

BLACK ASK ME IF I CARE PRINT CROP T-SHIRT

ENJOY

The Ragged Priest - Trendiest Summer Store

The Ragged Priest...

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

... is the online place - to - be right now
for anything  

DENIM, STUDDED or DYED.

Three of the biggest trends that have emerged for Spring / Summer 2012
is:

Denim (on Denim...)
Studs
and anything with a Dip-dye or Tie-dye.
And my new favourite find: The Ragged Priest, 

is a place for all of the above fashions.

Their Lookbook for Spring/Summer is a gorgeous mashup of candy-floss dreamy girly dyed dresses
with soft cottons, knits and silk chiffons all juxtaposed against the raw gritty-ness of

 torn distressed blue denims with silver studded hardware.

 It really is an interesting two Summer trends
to pair together, and seem to work well here... 

Below are a few of my favs from their sites, "Must-Haves" if you'd like,
and if you're also from South Africa and Summer is still on its way, then
keep an eye out in stores for upcoming styles close to these for the
perfect on-trend Summer wardrobe!

And last but not least, for you guys, don't shed a tear just yet. Even though the
Ragged Priest's Summer lookbook features no dudes, they DEF cater for you too!
Who knew dip-dyes could look ever-so-sweet on the opposite sex ;)

Do go to The Ragged Priest website
and browse for more awesome stuff.

Enjoy!!
