VALENTINO &  RED VALENTINO

Valentino was one of my very favorite collections from last week. I'm a huge Valentino fan and have also been crazy, crazy insane about their other line RED Valentino since it debuted a year ago. Red Valentino is so full blown, an unbending vision existing totally in its own space. I think what they've done is so admirable for a diffusion line today. I'm a complete sucker for sweater sets and they always do the cutest ones!

Vintage Chanel Jackets + Boyfriend Jeans Three Ways

Vintage Chanel Jackets + Boyfriend Jeans Three Ways

I have been really excited to share this series! I did three looks with three different vintage Chanel jackets, all with the Chimala denim ankle pants. I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm in love with these jeans.

First off is the classic black & white boucle Chanel jacket. Worn with a vintage flower brooch, Martin Margiela yellow puffer clutch, and Balenciaga sandals.

Next is a emerald tweed epaulette Chanel jacket, worn with the Chimala jeans, a lace camisole, vintage jewel necklace, enamel bracelets, and Dries Van Noten beaded sandals.

Finally, a classic cropped black & white vintage Chanel jacket with a massive Hanna Bernhard ram brooch, Monroe tissue tank, 1930s beaded necklace and 1970s beaded choker, Chimala jeans, and Chanel tulle bowtie booties.

Now here comes some real style!! While we were shooting this story, my mom's neighbors walked by with their fabulous 7 year old poodle Tasha. She's my new fashion icon. I want a pink afro and a black polo shirt now too.

CHIMALA JEANS: THE LOVE STORY

I have seen so many pictures of Jenna Lyons wearing the Chimala jeans lately! I love the way she styles them. It inspires me to play with mine more. I am so glad I got these jeans, I debated for a year on them before I took the plunge and got them in November. I am getting my wears worth out of them! Nothing like 100% cotton denim. One day I'm going to post a huge rant about how much I hate stretchy jeans but that is another post for another day. You can get a pair yourself at Madewell.com and for those who have asked, they do run true to size!

Three Ways to Wear It: Midi Pencil Skirt

Three Ways to Wear It: Midi Pencil Skirt

The midi-length skirt can be a little challenging, especially in a form-hugging shape. Here I styled three different looks with the same skirt–hope you like it!

 

Three Ways to Wear It: Midi Pencil Skirt

It can be helpful to break up the length and soften the severity of the pencil skirt with a feminine flouncy long-length blouse. A boxy jacket  thrown over the shoulders and long beads keep the top from overwhelming the rest of the outfit. Worn with open-toe Givenchy zip-up booties.

Three Ways to Wear It: Midi Pencil Skirt

A body-conscious skirt and a cozy sweater is a classic winner. The Balenciaga Glove sandals keep it modern and just a little bit tough. You can throw a fur stole on and it is a perfect evening look.

Three Ways to Wear It: Midi Pencil Skirt

A puffer jacket and slashed-sleeve sweatshirt tone down the glamour of the super-femme shape. An easy to throw on day-time look. The Ann Demeulemeester lace-up sandals give the skirt the height it needs. I add this Japanese silk kimono belt (worn as a scarf) to so many looks.

 

FLAT FAVORITES FOR SPRING

FLAT FAVORITES FOR SPRING

1. Golden Goose sequined hi-top sneakers

2. Joie Daydreaming loafer

3. Vince Mia suede slip-ons

4. Vince Nina two-piece flats

5. Bottega Veneta chukka boots

6. Rag & Bone Pearce ankle boot

7. Hudson Shoes fisherman sandal in Sherbert Saffron

It becomes more and more of a rare occurence to find me in heels these days. I always blame that on having to walk my dogs so much. It seems like there is much more a focus on flat shoes in fashion these days and I could not be happier! There are so many cute options lately. I've been dying for the Vince Mia flats forever and have developed a big obsession with fisherman sandals as of late. Decisions, decisions…

Back in Dallas and enjoying the kind of weather that allows this type of layering. It doesn't last long here!

Wearing a RRL button down, J. Crew turtleneck, vintage belt, Free People leather embroidered pants (old), vintage Carlos Falchi eelskin clutch, Daniel Wellington watch, H&M sunnies and Schutz shoes.

Since everything I'm wearing is unavailable, I've included some similar looks below! Those vintage YSL jodphurs are completely killing me.
