the it lists – fashion & trend blog

Since fashion is REALLY just our own expression of personal style, we’re seeing more people buy something generic from high-street labels and turn it into something completely different by the time they wear it.

You may not even recognize the same top! Of course designers started making clothes that are meant to look like you customized it yourself – which is almost the same as rocking a knock in my opinion…

• Any shirt you want.
• Thread & sewing needles of different sizes.
• Studs, jewels, badges, mini-locks, etc.
• Scissors.
• Salt.

Easy Tips:

-For a vintage look add loads of salt to the washer for exaggerated fading.

- For an update on a shirt you already love cut the inner and outer seams and add a small strip of cloth (preferably lace or silk) fix it between the seams and put it back together.

-Not sure where to put those add-on’s? Mix them all together and put them in line at the edge of the collar or sleeves.

If we want it done right we have to do it ourselves.

Juicy Couture will always be known for the velour tracksuit – whether you love it or hate it, chances are you own it. Maybe their new Bird collection will be more up your aisle.

Juicy pieces have always aired towards the West Coast woman who is known to have a more laid back style but now they are targeting that East Coast flair as well with their new line Bird.

Juicy truly did a great job with this line which is said to be inspired in part by a vintage find from London’s Portobello Road.  It is a bit more chic, has a bit more edge, and is all together more urban.

The vintage influence is obvious in the silhouettes of Bird’s outerwear, cashmere, tops, denim and leather pieces but still have the playfulness Juicy is know for. Bird can be found in all major department stores now!

Ruff & Refined! that’s what I like about a lot of the short boot styles this season. I think the collection that best encapsulates both of those is the Nine West Vintage America Collection.

My two favs in the collection are the Jurra which is a suede wedge bootie – its a must in the brown (so rich). And the Made which is a distressed ankle boot – very in, instantly rustic.

The whole collection features “vintage and worn-in feel” treatments consisting of lots of suede, hardware details, straps, studs, lace-ups, soft materials, plaid, faux fur and shearling.
