During those cold
winter months its sometimes difficult to keep stylish and fashionable. Especially
when all you want to do is walk around in either your warm pyjamas or load on
those chunky layers. We have 5 tips to keep you super fashionable this winter.
1.
Hat’s and Beanies are your friends.
Hats
and beanies are the perfect warm accessory that can pull a whole outfit
together. Don’t underestimate the power of a gorgeous floppy hat or a faux fur
beanie. It also helps to hide a bad hair day.
2.
Keep those lips bold:
It’s
important to brighten up those gloomy days and dark outfits with a bold lip.
This will instantly give your outfit a chic and effortless look.
3.
Keep your chunky scarves close:
Chunky
scarves are your best friend during winter. They are a must on most chilly days
and they never go out of style. Remember the chunkier the better and bold
colours can really brighten up your overall look.
4. Statement Coat:
Make sure you have that perfect statement coat in your closet. The coat that goes with every outfit you own and the one that never lets you down. Whether its plain or bold and dramatic make sure you invest in one!
5.
Don’t forget your favorite pair of Boots:
Every woman’s
favorite winter item…their boots. They come in many different styles, shapes
and colours & are the ultimate accessory in everyone’s winter wardrobe. You
can dress an outfit up and down with just a pair of boots.
On the 19th March, the country celebrated the elegance and poise that is Miss SA 2016. This evening of glamour and class was held at the Carnival City auditorium, where the new Miss SA was crowned and an evening of glorious entertainment was had.
The auditorium was transformed into a carnival themed setting with lots of fiery impression elements and the girls dawned amazing burlesque inspired outfits. The world class stage featured top SA artists like Prime Circle, Mi Casa, Monique Bringham and Sketchy Bongo with Shekhinah.This year Miss SA introduced two new elements to the competition, firstly the winner of the World Swim Suit SA Competition which was taken by Tayla Skye Robinson. Secondly the top twelve were to be cut down to the Top 8 and thereafter the girls were cut to a the Top 5.
With the anticipation built up, three girls were then crowned, Elizabeth Molapo as 1st Princess, Tayla Skye as 2nd Princess and finally the beautiful Nthando Kunene crowned Miss SA 2016. After all the formal procedures concluded at the Big Top arena, VIP guests were taken to the Miss SA After Party. The setting was incredible and out of this world, smaller lounges were set up with floating waiters which offered guests drinks and food all night long…A completely unforgettable event. Soviet Denim would like to congratulate Nthando Kunene on being crowned Miss South Africa 2016. We are so looking forward to having her as a Brand Ambassador and working with her over the next year.

Life isn’t cheap and neither are clothes, especially expensive designer garments like jeans. That’s why it’s important to know how to re-work your wardrobe and recycle the old. Today we’re going to give you some tips on how to D.I.Y your denim, and help make your wardrobe funky and fresh…don’t worry you can totally work this on a budget.
Tip #1: D.I.Y Distressed Jeans.
Distressed jeans are very popular and trendy right now. There are loads of various tools you can use to get this look (We promise it’s not difficult). Firstly you need to put your jeans on a flat hard surface and use a marker to mark out the areas you want to distress. Use tools such as scissors, blades and even sandpaper to create this look. Once you have made your blade and scissor marks and scores use the sandpaper to rough out the edges…It’s that easy!
Tip #2: D.I.Y Ripped Jeans.
Ripped jeans are the ultimate sexy look right now and it’s so easy to re- create this style with an old pair of warn out jeans. The more warn the better as they will rip easier. Lay your jeans out on a flat surface, preferably a hard surface that can get damaged (I would throw an old magazine under the jeans). Once you have marked your area use a super sharp pair of scissors and begin to score the jeans at different lengths. Once the jeans begin to tear use your hands to tug and the tears and rough them up a bit depending on how frayed and torn you want them…and voilà you have the perfect pair of stylish ripped jeans.
Tip #3: D.I.Y Patch Work.
Okay, so we aren’t talking scarecrow patch work here, we talking an alternative punk look. Grab some old fabric that you have lying around the house or even an old ripped (plaid printed) shirt. Once you have the fabric, turn your damaged jeans inside out and start placing fabric squares on the areas you want patched. You can either use hot glue or a needle and thread to attach the fabric to the jeans, just note hot glue is a lot quicker! Wait a few minutes, turn them the right way around and you have a new pair of colourful patched jeans!
Tip #4: D.I.Y Studs.
Are you jeans looking a bit boring and sad? Then we have the best way to give them a pick me up and add some detail…We’re talking STUDS! Head to the local haberdashery and pick yourself up some fabric studs. There are loads of different shapes, sizes and colours so pick the ones best suited to your style. Once you have the studs in hand grab your jeans and start marking out the areas you want to stud up. Usually the best places are on the front pockets, back pockets and also around the ankle rim of the jeans. Use hot glue and begin to place your studs on to the jeans. Have fun with it, make patterns, styles and go crazy! Now your jeans have a little bling in their life and so do you..
Never be afraid of doing something different with your wardrobe, get creative and take matters into your own hands. You could land up saving yourself loads of cash and show off your own personal designs to your friends…So get your D.I.Y Denim on!
