Falling For Fall Fashion

Ok, so here's what's on my radar for fall.
Long cardigans with skinny denim and tall boots have crept back into the spotlight. It's been done to death and was on the way out last year, but is back with a vengeance for fall. I think it's because the designer and stores had too much back stock so they decided to plague us with the look yet again. Thanks. I will save you with the fact that wide leg is a go as well this season. So either way you'll be workin' it.

The short, full skirt is everywhere. I have to say that I kind of missed picking up on that, but my uber fashionable girl friend sister pointed it out to me. I don't know how I missed it. This look is super cute with high heeled Mary Janes or short boots.

Black and gold is everywhere too. Metallics are out. Patent leather is hitting the road, but I'll always love it. I'll love it more when everyone isn't as into it, but I totally understand the obsession.

Watch for upcomming examples of the above mentioned styles in future blogs.

What Now Denim

Has True Religion become the new Mom Jean?


There are some great new denim lines out there that I'll admit I'd been hesitant to try until lately. I must say that I can't believe I've put it off for this long, because that's just not like me. It's time to put away your Citizen Jeans, True Religion and especially your Seven denim girls.




If you haven't tried Justin Timberlake's William Rast jeans on for size then you've been wasting as much time as me. The fit is perfect and flattering on the tush. The denim quality and feel can not be beat. Plus this denim has true city credentials. Your Sevens jeans are not worthy. Trust me.







Genetic Denim is another fave of mine. This great denim line is known for it's great fit for different body types and it's truly flattering. The denim is ultra soft too. It's new age in a way with a touch of retro chic. This brand is a must try if you haven't already.





Last but not least is JBrand. For the past three years this line has continued to offer a sleek, sophisticated denim with just enough edge to give it a city vibe. The denim is super flattering. Don't miss their lighter denim versions out in stores now for all you denimaholics like me. Check out this pair made of 100% organic pesticide free cotton. Green and fashionable. Now who can beat that.
