I’ve been on the hunt for more structured jackets lately as I’ve come to terms with my serious dependence on my jean jackets (as evidenced here, here, and here for starters). When I spotted this striped and little poufy shouldered number on my friend Meghan while in NYC a couple weeks ago, I had to snatch one up for myself. See how she styled hers up today here. But don’t expect to see any less jean jacket action anytime soon.

white denim

May 14, 2013

(old navy white rockstar skinnies, j crew wedges, bauble bar and sorrelli necklaces, kate spade watch, gucci sunglasses)

I do a little bit of writing on the side for the style section of DM Juice, a local weekly publication. In one of my articles this week, I take a look at 3 traditional style rules that I believe can be broken. The first one I listed is about wearing white – and how it’s no longer true that it can only be worn after Memorial Day. I’ve always adored a great pair of white pants, but love even more how it’s widespread a-ok to wear them year round now.

Today seemed like the perfect day (with temps that are supposed to hit the 90′s!) to step out in my newest white pair of denim for a coffee and (red velvet, s’mores, and lemon cream!) donut date with a girlfriend at Creme, a local favorite cupcake, coffee, and cocktail spot.

pop of pink

May 13, 2013

I’ve always loved a good dark denim skinny jean, but last week I got my first pair of raw selvedge denim. While they feel ~~a little~~ almost unbearably tight at first in the waist, with a little commitment you get to break in a pair of jeans to perfectly form to your body. That’s pretty cool, no? I’m looking forward to this denim only getting better with age, as they stretch and mold to fit me perfectly. It’s funny how fast all my other jeans feel almost a little too cozy now. I’ve found a new favorite pair of jeans and I’m quite smitten – but I’d love to know – what’s your favorite pair of jeans and why?
