Double D's

Do you know what's awesome? Double denim.
Seriously, it looks good. Take everyones favourite IT girl and bestie: Alexa and Pixie...

Now here is a duo who work the DD to perfection. They have followed the golden rule of DD and pulled it off.

In my opinion there are two rules to wearing double denim:

1. Always wear pieces which are a different washes/shades or colours!! and

2. Never "cube" denim* e.g.

When prime time Britney and Justin look this bad, you know that it's not ok! There is also an unspoken rule which is brought to light from this same example photo... always say no to a denim cowboy hat, they are eww.

Not having any kind of 80's hairstyle also deserves a mention. If you do in fact have a perm, fluffy fringe or some intense teased volume/height you may want to consider this picture and how to not look anything like it:

You can tell that they are all totally ready and willing to die for denim.

Enough with the bad, here is some good (and different) ways to wear DD!!

So you see, as long as you follow the golden rules and like each individual piece of denim (remember you can still actually wear them by themselves!!) you can't go wrong. Looking forward to many more well styled double denim combos over the next few seasons.

Thank you Chloe' S/S10 for bringing it back!

I love Beyonce. Lately, I've noticed more then ever her "fashion icon" status is in overload mode. With the pending release of her new album, there are tonnes of incredible photo shoots surfaces all the time, most of which are totally blowing my mind. She has taken a serious step up on the fashion front. If you haven't already seen (and loved) the video for "Run the World" watch it right now!! Good, now as long as we are all on the same level of appreciation, here are some of said recent mind blowing photos to have your mind blown by...

YO!

Sometimes, geeks can be chic and sometime a surprise is just what you need.

This is the new and improved Red House Vintage blog. My life is changing, there’s  A LOT of out with the old… kind of stuff happening and big opportunities just around the corner.

The truth is, I was totally over the pressures of maintaining a constant and
somewhat appealing blog; So from here on in you can expect a much more impulsive, opinionated and honest me. A new blog to match a new me*. This is not going to be your average fashion blog (there will be a lot of fashion but it will not be average) and the only thing I can assure you of is that I will not be posting daily, I’ve tried and failed so given up on that. 

So here it is… my view, my life, my doings, my likes and dislike and of course Red House Vintage.

*Actually it’s the same me just with more exciting things going on.
