Hockey Fashion, Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition =)

if you guys dont know yet, i am a sucker for Hockey! i'm obsessed. it's play offs season, and guess what? i had to cancel my Yoga classes to be able to watch ALL of the games! i know, im crazy. And, to make me look even crazier i decided for today's fashion inspiration to use the 8 teams competing on the Stanley Cup Playoffs Semi-Finals

Are your ready? here we go!

before we start, why not start with the NHL logo itself? mixture of black and metallic tones really incorporates my favorite logo of the month. HAHA. the dress itself looks so edgy, im loving the dramatic embellishments making this outfit less hungry for accessories. step on metallic heels and grab your cobalt metallic clutch and you're off to party!

Detroit Red Wings
So, last year's 1st runner up and western conference champions, and 2 year's ago's title holders, the detroit red wings are full of amazing veteran hockey players. the white shirt-dress paired with a thick red braided woven belt. having your hair with a messy bun and wrapped with a red cord headband. The infamous Red Wings logo is incorporated with wing earrings that are so fab! ( i actually have these pair =) )

Montreal Canadiens
The team with most Stanley Cups, battling against my fave team *ugh* (Penguins). The original Red, White and Blue of the NHL is channeled in this hip effortless ensemble. a flowy crop top with distressed red skinnies, white button earrings and a blue denim satchel make this outfit amazing in my books. i would wear this shopping or chilling at a sports lounge (not cheering for the Canadiens of course.) ;)

Philadelphia Flyers

NHL's Tangerines. Philadelphia Flyers, one of Pennsylvania's proud hockey teams. The Flyers are very passionate, physical team that's always ready for a brawl. They have strong, amazing hockey players that could release the fastest one-timers. This look showcases the bright-orange jersey color of this team. The ruffled high-waste skirt is love on a stick. Tucked in is a flowy oversized tank top over a white bandeau. Partying at the nearby club with the bright orange satchel, all you need is your lipgloss and your ID and you're good to go, Flyers style!

Boston Bruins
The Big Bad Bees! Boston Bruins is one of the Original Six of the NHL. I love their logo, im not gonna lie. i love honeybees! =) The Bruins' traditional hockey-style makes them stand out.

I've got nothing but respect for these honeys.

Ofcourse, their distinct colours inspired me for this look, the high-wasted nautical shorts with the nautical necklace is sweeter than honey. the striped top, with ruffled sleeves is just absolutely divine, and i cant ignored the gorgeous honeybee earrings, theyre too awesome to pass! =)

San Jose Sharks
San Jose Sharks, this team is always number 1 on the western conference, but they rarely go past round one (atleast in the past 6 seasons). They have amazing talents and great teamwork, and i think that's the reason why this year, theyre in round 2! (congrats boys!)

I honestly love this outfit. i love rompers!

i accessorized this little number with a shark pendant (get it? ), and to elongate the legs, i paired them with bad-ass cage heels (i need to have these!) and it doesnt stop there, i threw in a bomber leather jacket for those chilly spring nights. And i just LOOOVEE this clutch, i love the color-block and the uniqueness of it. Definitely "a night with the band" look, and a bad-ass after party!

Chicago Blackhawks
The pride of the Windy City. Chicago Blackhawks is a young team, with it's poster boys being under 21, (Jonathan Toews (pronounced: "Taves" [i know right? ], and Patrick Kane ), this team screams FUN! Their bright red jerseys are as loud and as passionate as the rest of the team.

I gave you 2 choices for this look. if you're a little conservative, tucking in a plain white tee under this flowy A-line skirt and oxfords is smokin'! But, if "smokin' " isn't enough, and you want to be on fire, chuck the tee, and throw in this cropped top instead. And to commemorate the Native American figure on the 'hawks' jersey, we'll pop in feathered accessories!

ps: i love the satchel!!

Vancouver Canucks
One of Western Canada's best, the Canucks deserve where they are right now! With the sexy Swedish Sedin Twins and their Olympic gold medalist goalie (Luongo)

I love their electric blue jersey, and it inspired me to pull out this hot mini dress and pair it up with sky-high white pumps; and to give respect to the Vancouver's famous whales, why not accessorize with a beautiful whale pendant? cute huh? finishing the look with a gradient-green clutch. you're gonna look like a Cute Canuck.

Pittsburgh Penguins

The Stanley Cup Defending Champions, and MY FAVORITE TEAM. With the amazing Sidney Crosby as their poster boy, Mr. Canada leads the playoffs with the most points. This team is oozing with talent, love and respect for the game. Formed by the classiest boys of Canada, Russia, Ukraine and the USA, this team wins my heart.

The Penguins' black jersey inspired me to nab this sexy, edgy, cut-out bodycon dress. This revealing, but classy dress (just like the penguins) will definitely catch alot of attention, so beware, 6-10 hotties might want to dance with you all night. To soften this look, why not add a cute swarovkski studded penguin necklace? and like Sid the Kid, you'll get to wear the letter C, but this time, it'll stand for CoCo Chanel. ( i know, a girl can dream.) but if you have 'em wear them with pride! if not? grab a pair of silver chandelier earrings and you're gonna look like a champ!

So there you go. Who knew hockey could drive a fashion inspiration?

tell me what you think!
