the only three jeans you need this summer

Friends, I don’t know about you, but for my money, dark denim and hot summer nights just don’t seem to mix. Also, I’m getting increasingly weary (and wary) of my skinny jeans (which may or may not have something to do with a seasonal diet that consists largely of ice cream). best summer denim

Whatever the reason, when the weather turns warm, I want denim in lighter washes and looser fits – just the thing for those weekends at the beach, long scenic bike rides…oh, who am I kidding? Afternoons reading magazines on my deck. Read on →

the how-to: weekend casual

Weekend style is a tricky business. All you want to do is spend 48 hours in sweats and see how long you can get away with not showering, but then you remember that you do still have to spend time in the world and look remotely put together. Luckily, as a girl who spends most of her days blogging on the couch and having meetings via Skype, “weekend” casual (who am I kidding? I’m wearing this most weekdays as well.) is an art I’ve pretty well perfected.

These picks aren’t hypothesis – each and every one of these pieces is 100% road-tested, and it’s safe to say I’m wearing at least 3 of the 5 on any given Sunday. I’m telling you, just add a great scarf and you’re done.

off the rack: the spring styles that actually made it into my closet

As I think you know by now, I’m a big believer in finding ways to make trends work for me, instead of having to change my wardrobe and comfort level to suit the trend. The truth is that I’m at that point in my life where I know what I’ll wear, what flatters me, and what belongs in my closet. And I worked hard to get here! Sure, I find a piece or two to push the envelope just a bit every season, but overall, running blindly after every trend that struts by just isn’t my thing.

To wit, I thought you’d like to take a peek at what I’ve actually been buying so far for spring. Ready for a little stroll through my closet? Read on →

cheap thrill: kut from the kloth denim jacket

I went to an event at the lovely Shop Adorn last weekend, and friends, I had forgotten how much I love this shop. It’s packed with brands I love – Paige denim in all the best cuts, super soft Fluxus tees and all that gorgeous House of Harlow jewelry – and I always find something new to fall for every time I go in (or surf their site). Plus, the owner is an absolute sweetheart, who positively delights in her customers – how can you not want to support that?

On my last trip, I picked up this Kut from the Kloth denim jacket (the photos aren’t the best, I know…but it’s good, trust me). I’d been obsessing over finding in the market for a new one, but wasn’t willing to pay $200 and hated the cheaper versions. This one is soft, stretchy, perfectly distressed, does an amazing job of creating a tiny waist over even the most shapeless of spring dresses…and $68. Sold! Incidentally, it was also shown off in People StyleWatch (next to pics of Reese Witherspoon – love her!), and therefore sold out awfully fast. Nab one of the last ones if you can (and size up).
