Denim

We just got back from our longest road trip yet – from CA to FL and back! I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t exhausted. Still adjusting to the right time zone and in desperate need of some extra rest, pronto! But hey, spring fashion is calling, and who can resist the allure of double denim, am I right? I’m fully embracing this trend! It’s always a challenge to find cropped jeans with just the perfect touch of flare, but these ones nailed it – just remember to size up! And let’s talk about this flared denim vest with its intricate hand-stitched details and those fabulous flared sleeves – it’s a denim lover’s dream! I went up a size for the jeans and opted for a size 6 in the top. Pumps fit true to size, and I snagged a 9. Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead! Shalice

Rocking denim on denim? Keep it simple: stick to similar or complementary shades. Check out this Canadian tuxedo vibe I’m rocking – paired with a sheer trench and a bold pop of red up top. What’s your take on it?

Feeling that spring fever, I spruced up our living room with some stunning faux cherry blossoms. Ever heard of AFLORAL? Their blooms are unbelievably realistic. Walking into the living room now, it’s like a burst of spring every time.

I get asked a lot of my jeans and I just posted these from Good American. They fit true to size. I got a 2/26, and they stretchy and flattering! I paired it with the ultimate waist flattering safari tunic in size 1.

This week we are missing my parents but loving this Georgia spring, lots of grass and country air.

Happy Wednesday!

Me and the kids recently partnered with Abercrombie Kids highlighting their new denim for fall. I mean how cute are my lil models? I love that there is SO much variety in the denim styles and washes at Abercrombie Kids. I believe each of my kids has a style and I tried my best to “style” them according their own style. It’s always good to encourage individuality. We can’t wait to see what Levi’s style will be!

Good news, their jeans are 50% off right now! Stock up for fall.

Enjoy your cuties now, whether it be your nieces or nephews, sons or daughters, for the days are long but the years are short.

Happy Sunday!

No one loves one shoulder tops more than I do.  I rounded up a couple faves as well as these jeans which have been a favorite post-partum. They’re super flattering. I happened to be between sizes so I went up a size and added a belly band. What do you think? It’s been a sleepy couple of weeks with lots of helpers, thankfully! with a couple flattering basics, I can still look my best without overthinking it. Shop my jeans, top, camel coat, earrings, bag and boots below. Happy Tuesday!

5 Most Flattering Flares

I, like anyone, have made my way through all the denim trends out there. From ripped, boyfriend, skinny, wide leg, boot cut, cropped and the like—I’ve worn them all! It seems like every month there’s a new “it” cut to try and I’m always game to give it a go.

But despite all the changing trends and piles of denim in my office, which, do you ask is my fave? FLARES. Hands down. I can’t get enough. I always, no matter what the brand, seem to feel at home in a good pair of flare jeans. I know denim isn’t everyone’s idea of comfort, but I think a lot of us have that one pair of jeans in our closets that we always just feel good in.

Because I’m such a flare fanatic, I rounded up some of my faves that also happen to be the most flattering—just ask some of my petite friends who also tried these styles. Win! I love the ones I’m wearing for the unusual stitching and wide leg flare, but I wanna know, which are your favorite?

5 Flattering Flares:

  1. Frame Le High Flares
  2. Madewell cropped boot cut
  3. Veronica Beard Flares
  4. H&M $35 Flares
  5. A&F $35 Ankle flares in light

One thing I will not be hanging in my closet much this spring is a red blazer. I’m obsessed would be a little modest. Even my 10 year old sees me in it and says, mom you look good in red, lol! This red trend or blazer, the latter of which is SUPER flattering, is not going anywhere.

Next, we have ribbon jeans by McGuire I’m loving because they’re super flattering and distressed! I styled them with red wrap heels and a plain white tee every stylish girl needs a couple of these. Especially as a mom, I have So many white tees. Styling tip? Buy them in bulk!

Skirt weather

If you follow me closely, you see I LOVE denim so I’m naturally on the lookout for all the denim steals deals, and show-stopping pieces. I came across this denim skirt with ties on Anthropologie and had to have it. I styled it with a creme top, trench coat, barely there nude heels and baseball cap. The latter doesn’t take the outfit too seriously and gives it a sporty look. Thankfully, LA has warmed up, so it calls for lots of skirts and sandals, yay! Have a lovely Monday!

Here are some H&M steals below! All under $100 and most under $50!

I’m realizing that after so many years and so many pairs of jeans, I keep going back to only a handful of pairs. I’ll name them below:

LEVIS 721 skinny jeans. They’re only $88, have build in busted knees (mine have gotten bigger with time) and so flattering with a universal wash. I also love this lighter wash. How cute are these shorts?

TOPSHOP I basically started blogging with this pair of jeans. I like their washes and distressing. I rarely go up in size for jeans, but I do for this brand.

REVOLVE GRLFRND DENIM they fit similar to Levis, and I love the distressed denim! Also, check out this pair

 

These 7 For All Mankind jeans are the gems I’ve been looking for when it comes to coated denim. When I first saw them I got a very downtown-meets-uptown-meets-errands vibe, which I’m kinda all about. To be sure they were as amazing as I thought, I took them on a test drive through the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles. Yep! I was right and I love them so much I can barely take them off! They’re the perfect marriage between faux leather leggings and distressed denim. This pair runs slightly large, so I sized down, but the slim fit is great, especially with oversized loungewear.

For this look, I stayed with 7FAM and paired the coated denim with this super luxurious leopard coat with faux fur trim and finished it off with patent booties. I love this outfit, but I definitely can’t wait to wear the jeans with sneakers and camel coats, too. That is if the temps ever decide to dip—wishful thinking in SoCal. We’ll see. Now, I can’t wait for a night out!
