Dark & Delightful Denim

Two weeks ago I wore my first pair of dark denim for the summer.  I never wear denim in the summer months unless they are in shorts form.  I just cannot.  Then suddenly we had a few cool days and paired with a sleeveless top the denim was just right. Fast forward to September.  School is back in session and the idea of denim dark or light wash is delightful.  I am wearing cropped black jeans as I type.  Now I'm all about the idea of dark & delightful denim with raw hems and flares for Fall.

Nope.

Isn't it grand?  When I saw this 'NOPE' t-shirt from LivLuvShop I knew it had to be mine.  It just beckoned me from my Facebook feed as I sat on the beach giving no f*cks about anything.  And I wanted to keep it that way as I entered into fall. I straight up squealed when this shirt arrived. When H asked me why I was so excited I said, "It's like my own personal super hero shirt."  It is so very soft making me feel relaxed but also the whole 'Nope' vibe is me saying no to all the unnecessary things that make my days so very crazy.  I don't need it. I don't want it.  I'm over it. Can I get an Amen?

Saturday Nights in the ‘Hood

When we moved into our new home a few months ago it was the dead of winter. Sure, we liked the looks of the neighborhood but what about the people who lived in all those pretty houses?  We had no clue and hoped for the best. Fast forward through spring when a neighbor brought us cookies, many hours spent at the pool meeting new faces and doing something that is so rare for me- joining a committee, the neighborhood social committee (gasp! avert your introvert eyes!) and suddenly we were making friends and falling in love with a community and not just a group of houses joined together by a set of property lines.  Our latest get together was a Saturday night Cornhole tournament, something I've never done, but had a lot of fun helping set up and then playing. And by the way, what do you wear … [Read more...]

Denim on Denim

When it comes to parties, get-together's and events I have a tendency to stray from my comfort zone. At least in the last year or so it has been that way.  A white sequin dress for a gala vs. navy or black.  A leather skirt with a dress used as a top for a holiday work party.  This time it was a Thirty-One party I held at my house for friends on Saturday and I decided to go with denim on denim, a trend I didn't think I could pull off without being matchy-matchy, but instantly loved. I looked for daze organic cotton denim trying to find a few pieces that might match, and I really liked what I ended up choosing. So much so I kept the outfit on for date night too only adding a blanket scarf and clutch to round it out. The trick is to break it up and keep your shoes neutral. I added my … [Read more...]

Max Jeans for Fall

I love a good collaboration with a fellow fashion blogger but when it comes in a pair and makes me stretch my fashion comfort level, then it is even better. Max Jeans has some fun looks for the upcoming fall season.  Whether it is a new pair of boyfriend jeans that are more fitted or you want to layer your look Max Jeans has some great options. I received three pieces and styled them with cooler temps in mind.  Two other bloggers, Julie and Andrea received the same three items and you can see different versions of the same jeans, jacket and vest done styled by them. If you will be shopping on Amazon, I highly suggest you use hoteudeals for confronto prezzi amazon. Max Jeans Women's Denim Anorak Jacket This jacket is very different for me. I don't tend to even look at light denim … [Read more...]
