#PinterestPickOfTheWeek - 07/09/2015

So I recently acquired a new item of clothing which I have always been skeptical about owing. Lets just say, from now on I will be owning my new denim jacket. So here is this weeks #PinterestPickOfTheWeek aka #PPOTW for some of my favourite ideas on how to rock your denim jackets.

Sneakers! Sneakers go so well with denims, personally my favourite sneakers are a pair of Soviet high tops!

Not entirely a denim jacket, but more denim on denim. And it is okay. Break the denim lines with a belt and
paired with a good pair of sneakers it always looks good.

I only now realised that majority of my picks this week all have been paired with a plain white shirt. It most definitely adds a crisp fresh look and contrasts nicely against the blue denim.

Just had to say that one can pair different colour denim together too without it looking like a Christmas Tree!

The Boots. The Shirt. The Belt. Everything just fits so well.

The hat!! It is most definitely one of my favourite new accessories. Adds some different texture to your look. 

More accessories. It is a known fact that browns usually go well with denim as they compliment each other rather well. Grab a leather bag and finish off your look with a pair of original ray ban aviators.

#SovietPremium

SOVIET

Because Real People wear Real Denim...

The Soviet Group have moved into a newer and much trendier look and feel. The #SovietPremium movement has started. The 1st store to get a brand new look was the Cresta Shopping Centre store. We got the lowdown on the event and who was there. Check this out.

When you walk into the store, you just the feel that this newly renovated space is modern and trendy. Its a store that you want to be in. 

This space is filled with textures, colours and moods.
The walls.
The floor.
The roof.
Everything is so different, yet works so well together.

The beautiful ladies from Miss South Africa couldn't resist and I caught them snapping a #Selfie in one of the mirrors that have been ever so strategically placed on the ceiling.

I spotted a few items in store that I consider to be must haves. Or actually just a few things I really liked and wish I could have in my own wardrobe.

Lots of leather and denim. As far back as what I can remember, denim is that one fabric that has just always been there. It is a timeless classic and I think that #Soviet is finding new ways to incorporate denim in fashion.

The #SovietPremium store in Cresta has its own Kiddies section. So there is no excuse, and even the lil ones can by seen styling in a #Soviet denim.

I have this obsession.

Shoes.

It's really an addiction and I just loved these #Soviet kicks.

From the pics you guys can see that there was a definite variety of familiar faces in the entertainment and fashion industries at the event. This is something that you don't usually experience. Most of the times one tends to see the same regular faces at all the events. This just goes to show that Soviet Denim is a brand that is for everyone. And that fashion is for everyone and not just for the people that are more fashion forward.

Wait.

That guy looks rather familiar.

I think I have seen him before. 

And then I turn to my left and his face is on the wall!

Sean Tucker is not only a pretty face and model. At the #SovietPremium launch Sean was playing DJ and providing all the guests with some good tunes whilst enjoying the evening.

I never let a photo op go by. It was at the #SovietPremium launch that I got to chat with Miss South Africa 2015, Liesl Laurie. She is such fun and even though the 5 minutes we chatted and joked around, it felt as if we were great friends enjoying the evening out.

Congratulations must go to Leon & Leon from Infinite PR. I do believe that these guys are the best at what they do. You guys did a great job with the Soviet Denim #SovietPremium Cresta store launch!
