An Essential Wardrobe Staple

A classic 1980s/1990s trend that has recently regained popularity is the the Denim Jacket. It can be seen on celebrities, runways, and showcased on street style/fashion blogs.

The denim jacket is a vintage classic  that can effortlessly be incorporated into any wardrobe. There are so many washes and styles to the denim jacket, you have the classic Levi's wash jacket to the motorcycle denim jacket to choose from and everything else in between!

The Denim jacket is a piece that can be worn with anything from  maxi dresses, skirts, coloured jeans, prints, leather  and denim (if you daring!) really you're options are endless. As InStyle Magazine advocates, the jean jacket is a versatile piece that can make a sophisticated outfit look casual and casual one look cool! 

It also makes a great Fall  layering piece! Can you say bring layering of  the scarves, sweaters!

When considering buying your own jacket, you want to consider buying  a jacket that is classic that can easily be worn during the  Fall, but can still be transitioned into your spring wardrobe. 

A few tips on how to choose your perfect Denim jacket:

• pick a denim jacket that fits close to the body so in other words don't go for oversize!

• choose a jacket that fits to your waist, personally I feel the crop denim jacket is trendy and unfortunately it's not as easy to blend with looks

• Opt for minimal details! If it your first denim jacket pick one that is a classic wash and isn't to embellished with details like studs or sequins

As always a little inspiration and evidence of how easy it is to wear the denim jacket! As stated it very versatile and can be worn with so many pieces. Enjoy these looks courtesy of Chictopia & Lookbook.nu. These ladies wear the denim jacket so effortlessly! 

If you havent found your perfect denim jacket, soon to be added to my etsy shop I will be adding this classic Calvin Klein Denim Jacket. It is a classic blue with a slight distressed wash. It has the classic CK silver buttons and is in perfect condition. It will be available for viewing and purchase September 29, 2012.

It's all about the COLLAR...

Whether it's bejewelled, metal, lace or pearls, detachable collars are the new statement necklace!

Removable Collars offers a great opportunity to add something special to any outfit and can be incorporated into many Fall looks. 

There are many different collar styles, for example lace styles are popular and can be more subtly blended into an outfit. Another popular style are metal removable collars, they easily take any outfit to a more trendy edgy look. 

Removable collars offer a great opportunity to take any outfit to the next level. 

Below is a little inspiration on how to incorporate detachable collars into your wardrobe, courtesy of some ladies Chictopia and Lookbook.nu 

The newest addition added to my an eye for vintage etsy shop is a stunning Vintage detachable pearl collar on a silk fabric. It is beautifully detailed with small and medium sized pearl beads. 

This collar would accent any romantic look!
