Grey matter: Make sure you have grey in your closet!

Grey pieces of clothing, much like black, are staple in any girl’s closet. They’re classy, sexy, comfortable, and most of all, they can be worn in any given occasion with the right accessories.

Check out how these celebrity fashion icons strut the streets in grey:

Celebrity Fashion Icons

Blake Lively proves that combining grey and grey is not at all dull and boring with her grey high-waist skirt, grey top and grey blazer. Kim Kardashian wears a grey tight-fitting dress accessorized with black blazer, black bib necklace and black strappy sandals, a classic evidence that black sure does add depth to an otherwise plain outfit.  Fergie’s grey jumper dress and grey cardigan matched together is really adorable, but let’s not talk about the shoes shall we (if ever you decide to wear something like this, a pair of sexy black pumps will do).  Finally Giulia wears a chunky winter knit with a matching grey beanie, but notice the darker grey patterned scarf she wore to break the monotony, so chic!

Then again, you don’t have to pay thousands of dollars or pounds to make yourself as fab as these celebrities are. We here at Brandneusense advocate the kind of style that’s very uniquely YOU, without having to break the bank. So check out some of the affordable grey stuff we currently have in our catalog and imagine the possibilities!!

Diggin’ the Rocker Chick Effect

Sexy but rebellious, sophisticated but rugged, feminine but tough. That’s what the “rocker chick” fashion is all about, it’s an xpression of style and individuality. Although it is apparent that women who are into rock music and bands tend to naturally acquire this sense of style, you really don’t have to know how to play the drums, or strum the guitar, or be a member of a rock band to sport this fashion!

Colour me your colour, darling

There are a lot of ways to achieve the rock chic fashion:

1. Get some skinny jeans or torn leggings on. Faded and torn jeans give off that casual I-don’t-give-a-damn attitude, while studded and leather leggings show off that sexy look.

2. Dress shirts, tank tops, rock band shirts, statements shirts and off-the-shoulder tops are the way to go, it doesn’t matter if they’re tight fit or very loose. The idea is to make a statement in whatever top you choose.

3. Draw attention to your feet! Whether it’s a pair of Chuck Taylors, studded pumps, bright colored stilettos, or faded leather boots, the point is they have to grab attention.

4. No, they don’t have to be black. While black is essential in achieving the rockstar look, you don’t necessarily have to stick with that color alone. Don’t be afraid to combine it with flashy colors — hot pink, electric blue, or bloody red — after all, rocker chick fashion is bold and daring.

5. Don’t be afraid to put on animal printed jackets or coats with faux fur collars if you’re in the mood for it. A leather jacket is a must. Often, it doesn’t matter what you have underneath, the leather jacket alone is very rock and very chic as it is.

6. Accessories are important in achieving this rockstar look. Accessorize with over-sized watches, leather bracelets, long chain necklaces, studs and spikes.

7. Carry a loose metallic bag or a thrifted leather bag to finish off. You can also vandalize an old bag with writings, glitters and studs!

8. Most of all, just be your rockstar self. When you feel you’re a rockstar at heart, you wouldn’t have to try so hard the rocker chick in you will just show. ;)

10 Things We Didn’t Know About T-shirts

We wear them everyday, these t-shirts, unaware of the fact that before these pieces of garment found their way to our closets, they’ve actually come a long way, and with some stories to tell too.

Youdesignit recently posted this wealth of information about t-shirts, and in spite of being in the t-shirt business for more than 5 years now, we here at Brandneusense still found ourselves learning a couple of new things from this list.
