Distressed Jeans - DIY

Posted by Sophie on Friday, August 21st, 2009


Ciara, Taylor Momsen, Fergie

Did you catch the Project Runway (season 6) premier last night?  I don’t necessarily agree with the winners of previous seasons but I sure do enjoy this show regardless!

Well, here is an easy DIY project to bring out your creativity.  Grab your old jeans or any denim to trash(?) them in a coolest way possible so you can rock’ em!  These ripped, bleached, frayed jeans are the season’s hottest look bringing back the nostalgia of the 80’s fashion craze.  I think distressed jeans are fabulously funky & hip!

You can easily buy distressed jeans pretty much anywhere now but why not create your own one-of-a-kind jeans right from home?  I found this “How to Make Distressed Jeans” video over at ehow.com.  Very easy & simple! This is how we do it~~~ Enjoy!

Rihanna’s New Hairdo

Posted by Sophie on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Fashion trendsetter Rihanna is like a chameleon.  She’s one gal that is not afraid to try new styles and I commend her for that.   However, it seems her most recent hairdo this time around is not well liked by many.  Say what??   I think she’s rockin’ it!  Definitely refreshing and different from other celebs and has that 80’s vibe going on.  Can you say Thriller?

Rihanna’s new do reminds me of maybe a funky 80’s rocker or that of the likes of Michael Jackson.  Some really hate this style but hey, she’s fond of the 80’s fashion era and I think it’s totally rad!

Splurge vs Steal - Bleached Balmain Jeans

Posted by Sophie on Sunday, April 12th, 2009

I’ve always thought Victoria Beckham looks amazing in jeans although she hasn’t been wearing them as much lately.  So, what do you think of her recent outfit, head to toe in Balmain?

Just the military jacket & the jeans together are well over $9000!  Excuse me?  LOL!  I must admit though, that the Balmain Spring 09 Collection really rocks!  The loveliness of rock-chick style is unbelievably hip & cool!

I’m not too keen on the pointy shoulders on Victoria but lusting after her bleached Balmain jeans (not it’s ridiculous price… uhhhhhhhhh no)!  I’ve always been a fan of distressed jeans that has rips & tears or bleached detailing since the 80’s and it looks like they are coming back!  And I welcome it!

Found this HOT pair of bleached jeans - Penelope Side Zip Skinny Jean from bebe.com!  Pair the jeans with an ultra-feminine chiffon blouse.  By mixing high’s & low’s you’ll get an unexpected, fabulous ensemble that’s truly your own!
