THE ‘ROCK CHIC’ LOOK!

THE ‘ROCK CHIC’ LOOK

I personally love the ‘rock chic’ look. I think it is gorgeous, cool and sexy. Girls who do it right look incredible and always make you think how to pull off such a look. Well, it’s not that hard, and this article aims to make it slightly easier to do. The look has a vintage and grungy feel to it and can also be extremely feminine. This will give you an overview of the look, and will show you just what you need to do such a look.

Colours

The main colours to this look are  black,reds and white. Red and black together look really cool and give you an edgy look, which is what you want.

Attitude

Don’t care what anyone else thinks. Being a rock chic is all about breaking the rules of fashion and doing your own thing.

Clothes

Clothes for this style are always fun to wear. You’re looking for unique and vintage stuff to make yourself look different.

Find tops with band names on them. The most common ones are ‘Rolling Stones’ and ‘Guns ‘n’ Roses’ t-shirts and they are easy to find, not to mention they look cool.  I live by their stuff, and it’s all affordable. You can also get away with stripy tops or tops with skulls. Both go really well with this image. If you want to be a bit more casual, you can wear baggy long vest tops in a dark colour.

To go with all these tops, the best things are denim. Lots and lots of denim! Skinny jeans, baggy jeans and mini skirts all go with this look, and let’s face it, we all have them. With the denim  shorts/skirt, you could wear it on its own, or with leggings. I think wearing a denim mini skirt, with black heels, leggings and a slightly baggy top will look really cool.

Shoes

You can get away with wearing any shoes for this look, but there are certain ones if you want to go hardcore. Vans and Converses: They look good with everything. A pair of biker boots is also great. Put them with skinny jeans and a tight top, and voila: cool, casual, sexy and edgy. What also look amazing are heels. Black or red heels really go with this look and you can pair them up with a skirt. The black boots and red heels, so it would be worth going there to get some shoes. 

Here are some pictures have a look.

Hair

I dont have really wild and curly hair, which is so this look needs. Usually for this look, hair is black (but

doesn’t have to be) and quite messy. You can also put some great colours and hi lights in it, like red or purple. Or, if you want to go all out, you can dye your hair red or black, or if you’re daring enough, even purple. If you’re looking for hairstyles, you can get it cut quite choppy, kind of like Hayley from Paramore. You can also add a side fringe if you want to. I leave my hair curly and straighten my fringes so that it covers my left eye.

What’s back in fashion is teasing/backcombing your hair. Although not recommended for everyday, teasing can give you just what you need to finish this look. If you have smooth, silky hair, teasing it can make it seem slightly messier. There are some great videos online that explain just how you can tease your hair.

Accessories

Heavy accessories totally work with this look. Chunky bracelets or thick necklaces work really well. I would avoid necklaces with skulls on them as it might be slightly too overboard. One new trend which I’m loving is lots of bracelets piled up on one arm. All you have to do is randomly put a few bracelets on you arm and you’ve got the look.

The great thing about accessories for this look is that they are very random. You can just wear anything chunky or different and you’ll look the part.

And that’s just how easy it is to pull off the ‘rock chic’ look. It’s easy to follow, as long as you have a few key items. Its everywhere at the moment, but no one person looks the same with this style. Just have fun with it.

7 most SURPRISING fashion trends you probably didn't know about!!

I know that I’m not the most fashionable person to ever walk the face of the Earth, but lately I’m seeing a lot of surprising fashion trends. Some things I would have never thought would be cool are either coming back or coming into the lime light for the first time. These are the 7 most surprising fashion trends you probably didn’t know about either!

1. SEE THROUGH PLASTIC PURSES

That’s right, designers everywhere are starting to put out see through plastic purses and people are buying them up! A few of them are actually kind of cute but my biggest question about these purses is: where do you hide your tampons from prying eyes when everyone can see into your purse?

2. TEAL EYELINER

I personally think teal eyeliner is pretty cool. It makes your eyes pop and it draws a lot of attention! I’ve actually started to use teal and bronze together and it looks really cool! I think that this is a perfect way to change up your makeup for the summertime without having to do too much. And, it’s a perfect daytime beachy color when you want to look casual all day under your sunhat.

 3. 3D PRINTER ACCESSORIES

That’s right, 3D printers aren’t just for making guns anymore. Now you can use them to print up your own necklaces, rings, and even one of those see through plastic purses. But, if you have enough money to buy a 3D printer (a pretty high ticket item) I think you can probably afford to buy your own accessories, pre-made and everything. But, this does take making your own jewelry to a whole new level.

4. TEXTURED NAIL POLISH

This is also a pretty cool trend but I’m a little bit on the fence about it. On one hand, I grew up thinking anything on your nails that wasn’t smooth was an imperfection. On the other hand, fuzzy nails are so cool, I just want to keep painting my nails that way. Glitter nails are a thing of the past now

5. JEAN VESTS

Yes, jean vests. Kind of like denim jackets with the sleeves removed. People are wearing them with floral skirts and oversized tees, maxi dresses, mini dresses, everything under the sun. I think they can be very cute when worn right but I still feel a little bit like a Levi cowboy when I wear them with jean shorts. If you try this one out be very careful not to overdo the denim!

6. BRIGHT, CLEAN LINED SATCHELS

Tiny clutch purses are out and crisp, clean satchels in bright colors are in. I LOVE this trend! I need a bag with a little more heft that can hold more than just a breath mint. I love how summery these look and that I can use them with anything from a work outfit to a bikini cover on the beach. I am so excited that slouchy big bags are out! (Who can really find anything in the million folds that those bags seem to have?:)

7. MENSWEAR FOR WOMEN

The boyfriend look is back in! That’s very exciting to me since I love the look of rolled boyfriend cut jeans with over sized tees! It’s so cute without looking sloppy. But now, we’re adding vests and trousers to our menswear for women repertoire. 

Well ladies these were the fashion trends that surprised me. What trends do you find surprising? Let me know down below!

Stay stylish!

LOOK of the Day!

One of the more overlooked areas of stylish dressing is the relationship between belts and shoes. The first point to make regarding belts and shoes is that you should not actually match them, they should compliment each other.  They should work together visually but not match so closely that it looks like you purchased them as a set! 

If you are wearing red shoes I can pretty much guarantee that your shoes are the focal point of your outfit and a red belt with Raybans would only serve to knock your look right over the edge.

How to wear Scarfs this SUMMER!!

As in my previous post about the DU Campus Trend Check! I had told you about how kheffiyehs are out and scarfs are IN..!

So,here i'm back again to guide you how to wear these Sacrfs this Summer!

Trendy cold season style, like your favorite scarf, shouldn’t be left hanging for months on end waiting for old man winter to swing by. Scarves are one winter accessory that can be worn virtually any season. Knowing just how to do it changes it all, of course. REMEMBER!!! Summer apparels are meant to be breezy, bright and cheerful, so considering these key words should give you the ultimate scarf to rock this summer. For more cool ideas on how to wear scarves during summer, check out the recommendations below!!

·         Don’t sweat the big stuff—you’ll want your scarf thin for better freshening.So, The lighter, the better.

·         Pay attention to the fabric. Cotton, for example, is an affordable cool fabric. Linens are also relatively cheap and the loose weaves allow your skin to breath. Want a more luxurious touch? Go for silk scarves, which are elegant and soft, but sometimes quite pricey. J

·         Certain colors bring out the fullness of SUMMER!!And the right combinations can make those shiny days last. Bright colors like orange and yellow are radiant and perky; while teal, emerald green and turquoise are very in this season.

·         And trust me Try Neon colors..!It really works and don’t worry about all the attention that you’ll cover! J

·         Patterned scarves are timeless. A great oldie that hasn’t died off is the ol’ polka dot—simple, fun and diverse enough to impress granny. Tropical designs can be stylish too. A bonus is that you don’t need to be stick-thin to wear big, bold scarves—quite the contrary. Printed designs will turn eyes to your scarf rather than your silhouette.

·         Take into account the numerous styles scarves come in. Whether they’re knitted, woven, glittered or crocheted, don’t feel reduced to only wearing plain old boring scarves. In fact, a texturized scarf can update your whole look in seconds,leaving your hair ,make up or sheos to second place. J

·         Think outside the neck. Scarves can be used to cover bathing suits, as a belt or even as an accessory for your bag. If you’re still set on wearing it around your neck, then look for smart ways of tying a fancy knot—like a shoulder buster tie, resembling a sailor’s neckerchief, which is a much simpler way of showing off your scarf.

·         Headscarves have been popular for as long as we can remember. These alone canbeatoff the "bad hair day"  or give you a classic look taken right from Italian fashion runways. However, if you try to recreate it, always choose a medium-sized fancy-fabric scarf. Although it sounds complicated, a cheaply-made scarf can mess up your overall look.

Talking about hairstyles, take a cue from these new trendy braid bars (yep—there’s such a thing) where they will braid a fine scarf into your hair, getting a unique yet polished look. But don’t spend your hard-earned bucks on them—instead, watch YouTube tutorial. With some practice, it will get easier every time.

TRUST ME!

By the time try this!

BECAUSE Bow Ties allows you to time travel!!

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/8972497/?claim=zj9ymj8u96m">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>

Ok so you've probably heard that bow ties are in fashion, and you're like a lot of guys, you don't know how to make them work for you..!

 A lot of men, in general, are very reluctant to demonstrate the bow tie kind of codified flamboyance, Exactly why I feel that it takes a lot of character to pull off this retro piece of neckwear. Well consider yourself lucky because will show you how is the bow-tie fashion done!

 

Bow ties are essentially a classic look that can be formal, conservative or completely edgy. It entirely depends on how you choose to wear it.What you pair it with it is as important as the one you choose. So slip on a well fitted suit and crisp shirt and wear the sexy accessory around your neck! Oh and yes don't forget your swagger!

For formal occasions, when one is wearing a dinner jacket or tuxedo, traditional black or white is probably best. Otherwise, as with most choices in life, I would suggest going with whatever makes you feel good.

Subsets of the traditional tie, such as tiepins, pocket squares, cuff links are all safer mundane choices that need a break especially in the city I live in! 

The good news is that the humble bow tie is clearly emerging as the front runner in the ever-changing fashion movement.

And be it guys or girls...! It looks awesome and classy on both! ;)

Just have a look!

Tying a Bow-Tie
Tying a bow tie is no rocket science. Think of it like a shoelace. If in doubt, there are a whole lot of videos on YouTube that offer tutorials to tie them right.

Essential Tips
1. Go for a simple point collar.
2. The suit or the tuxedo should fit hug your natural shoulder shape.
3. Ensure you reveal your shirt cuffs from your suit a quarter inch or half inch 
4. Go in for trousers that donot have cuffs on the leg. You should look smarty pants after all
5. For single breasted suits, 2 buttons are clean and look stylish!

Explore, experiment and share your bow tie experience with me!!
