Lookbook

You step out of the fashion blogging world for 1 week (i.e. 52 years in Internet time) and you miss all kinds of interesting trends that have slowly been establishing themselves as next years mainstream looks.  Enter the denim vest.  Yesterday I discussed the denim legging and I feel it is only fitting to go over its vested counterpart.  We all have the black vest that we pair with our skinny jeans and layered necklaces... blah, blah, been there, done that, saw the spread in People Style Watch and am a bit over it.  Most of us also probably have a denim vest, circa 1985 that we paired with our Milli Vanilli t-shirts, don't lie.  Most of us also probably outgrew said denim vest and gave them away all the while thinking "yeah thats never coming back again..."  Wrong again, we were.  The denim vest is back in variety of styles- studded, distressed, cropped, what have you.  You can wear it with slim black pants and a long tunic or pair it with shiny leggings for added oomph. ...

The denim jacket is a great add on to this spring's wardrobe. The faded-ness works wonders with the reappearance of boho chic we are seeing these days. Paired with a printed max or a a floral mini, roll up the sleeves slightly and you are good to go! enjoy :) Where to Shop Steep- Current/Elliott at Barney's Cheap- Old Navy

It seems to me these days that we want a pair of boyfriend jeans more than an actual boyfriend. The fit is casual, effortless and can be worn with a pair of flats as well as your peep toe strappies. In these trying times of recession chic, versatility is key and what better way to expand ones wardrobe than with a pair of boyfriend jeans? So... drumroll please!!
