Rip it Good

On this Friday eve, let's get comfortable with some jeans. Distressed jeans are comfortable and easy to wear on the weekends. I love the variety of fits and washes because they let you find what works just for you.

Shopbop, Levi's 721 High Rise Distressed Skinny Jean, $88

Light wash, skinny, ready for date night or an easy Saturday with some Converse.

Nordstrom, Vigoss Distressed Raw Hem Skinny Jeans, $68

A little frayed hem makes these super casual and cool.

Gap, Washwell Middies Paint Splatter Best Girlfriend Jeans, $54

So sassy. So careless in the cool girl kind of way.

H&M, Super Skinny Low Jeans, $39

Maybe the most streamlined of the bunch, easy to dress up for a date.

Casual and simple denim that will never let you down. Side note, these are all under 90 bucks.

In the Navy

Happy Monday lovebugs,
Today we are combining two of my favorite things: cheese and bacon. Kidding. Navy and stripes. Two classic styles that go beautifully together.

Asos, Wood Wood Mary Stripe Dress, $94

Half off right now. I love the turtleneck and the pockets. Pair it with booties.

Shopbop, Club Monaco Jewelle Turtleneck, $70

The width of these stripes are fantastic. Gives it a sailor vibe.

LandsEnd, Thermacheck Fleece Peacoat, $29

Classic silhouette, great stripe, and this price! A peacoat will never go out of style.

Levi's, Classic Crewneck Sweater, $59

How cozy does this sweater look? I'd dress it up for work with long pearls and for play I would add a contrasting oxford underneath.

Navy stripes are not just for the dog days of summer, I love this pattern and color for sweater weather because it's versatile and fun.

Brands 101

From time to time The Bf chimes in with blog topic ideas. Today he thought we should look at well known brands that are totally allowed to show off. Stay with me. I didn't get it at first either. Think iconic fashion logos: Calvin Klein, Chanel, Burberry and think about their logos. Some of these timeless brands look great when you wear their...well their brand. Let me explain.

Gap, Logo Stripe Pullover, $44

Everyone knows and loves the Gap 1969 logo. I love this vintage looking hoodie that shows it off.

Bluefly, Lacoste Women's Round Tortoise Sunglasses, $145 $32

Major sale on these classic gator shades. Talk about feminine.

Levi's, Classic Crewneck, $55

Iconic. Play with this top by adding a plaid collared shirt or black pearls.

Tommy Hilfiger, H Logo Stripe Boat Neck Sweater, $49

Tommy. That all American brand that we all know. Try this nautical stripe with a denim skirt or black slacks for work.

Fashion brands come and go. It's the real classics that we like to wear on our sleeve. Enjoy the advertising because these logos aren't going out of style anytime soon.

Denim: A Do

Happy Monday lovebugs,
If you are an east coaster you noticed a distinct fall breeze this weekend. It took me a bit by surprise and I was searching for my jean jacket to layer on top of my outfit. This search was not a good one, not because my closet is a mess (it is) it's because I don't have a jean jacket. I know. So today, let's go shopping.

Levi's, Classic Trucker Jacket, $59

We've got to start with the classic. Levi's. You can't go wrong with this beauty.

Nordstrom, Halogen Denim Jacket, $29

Looking for a faded option? This one is on major sale.

Forever 21, Quilted Denim Boxy Jacket, $39

How about something totally different. Denim and quilted, so unexpected.

JCPenny, Joe Fresh Long Sleeve Denim Jacket, $35

A very chic dark wash that you can wear with a jumpsuit on the weekends or a corduroy skirt.

I really love denim jackets for fall. They are easy, you can throw them in the wash, and they are great for layering. Have fun with a thin fringed scarf or grab some pins and add a quirky twist to your jacket.

Chambray Anyone?

Happy almost Friday! Thank goodness. I'm ready for a weekend. Today we're looking at some fantastic chambray dresses. Denim is so old school, chambray is somehow chic and great for summer.

Gap, 1969 Chambray tiered dress, $79

The tiers are so feminine on this dress and the bit of a drop waist is very unexpected.

Hive and Honey, Chambray Tulip Hem Dress, $39

Very sexy and breezy for an evening out. I would add a colorful or metallic skinny belt to break things up.

Levi's, Sunday Dress, $59

A great scoop neck dress for summer. I would pair this with some platform sandals.

The Limited, Crossover Chambray Dress, $39

I really love this dress because you can dress it up or down and for the price, you really can't go wrong.

Chambray is beautiful for summer. Just add colorful, blingy, or chunky jewelry to it.
