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!

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. ;)

Three-time world champion Germany secures the top position in Group D, advancing to the next round with Ghana, and leaving Australia and Serbia eliminated from the game. Who would win the 2010 Fifa World Cup, we wonder. Will Germany bag this year’s cup again?

With just about two weeks remaining in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, one can’t help but wonder, who gets to take home the much coveted football cup?

Unfortunately for South Africa, this year’s host for the FIFA Cup, the race ended Tuesday after being eliminated from the group stage. But hey, South Africa may have exited, but not without grace. Bafana bafana played with heart and pride, winning a 2-1 victory against France on their final match, except that their accumulated points was not enough to take them through the next round.

“Bafana Bafana are out of the World Cup, but they won the hearts and minds of all South Africans and the whole world tonight,” SA’s Local Organising Committee CEO Danny Jordaan said. “Yes they did not make it past the group stage, but they did what the country asked of them – they played with pride, passion, skill and commitment, they gave their best.”

Well said, Jordaan.

And of course we don’t want this opportunity pass without honoring South Africa in our own little Brandneusense way. Today we wear South Africa’s vibrant colours with pride with this Mix&Match World Cup Edition. Keep your head up, South Africa, we’ll see you again next year!
