Double Denim

 Denim on denim is one of the trickier fashion trends to pull off.  Remember this denimonstrosity on Britney and JT?  But I've been seeing double denim is everywhere right now, so I'm taking the leap!  

Denim on denim seems foolproof, right?  But with all the colors and washes out there, finding the perfect blend of shades to pair was easier said than done.  Fortunately, I had this chambray shirt and denim jacket in my closet.  I kind of love that it looks polished but still feels super casual (this outfit is on repeat right now).   

Double denim: do or don't?

P.S. Can't wait to see you this week in San Francisco, cousin!

Hi Cousin! Another work appropriate outfit could be combining your Saint James shirt, distressed skirt and a fitted blazer.  Maybe even a printed silk scarf?  The shirt is very versatile and the possibilities are endless.  I like to keep my Saint James shirt to the nautical look.  Now I just need a boat.. Hmm...

Anyway, so excited to see you next week in SF.  So much to do, so little time!
I'm hoping that mini heat wave comes back for me!

Bon dimanche, mes amis!  It's been a glorious week thanks to the mini "heat wave" here in San Francisco.  I've been soaking up as much sun as I can before Mother Nature knocks us back to reality.  (It's already 20 degrees colder - BAH!)  Mostly just lounging around, eating and drinking on the Bay.  Which brings me to the inspiration for today's outfit: nautical stripes.  

And who does nautical stripes best?  The French, of course!  This blue and white striped t-shirt by Saint James is one of my favorite and most versatile pieces (as you'll probably see in future blog posts).  Honestly, I don't know what I would do without it.  Do you have a favorite tee?

Hope your enjoying the weekend!

Mille bisous, Linda

The Distressed Denim Skirt

Skirt: ASOS (sold out, similar here)

In case you may be thinking "Really? That's so 1990!"... let's discuss the versatility of the distressed denim pencil skirt:

Work: I don't know about you, but business casual bores me to tears.  I have countless black skirts and trousers that look EXACTLY the same!  Enter the distressed denim skirt.  You could throw it on with a classic white shirt to add a little edge to your outfit and still handle yo' business.  

Weekend: I'll admit it, there have been weekends when all I wore were my Lululemons (wearing them right now).  My justification was that I wanted to be comfy without looking like I just rolled out of bed.  That, and they have magical bootie lifting properties.  Now if I had a distressed denim skirt, I could pair it with an oversized hoodie or denim shirt (a la RiRi) and go casual chic.

So distressed denim skirt: yay or nay?

xoxo, Linda

To be honest Cousin, I think the H&M version is actually nicer than Isabel's ( don't judge me! ).  You continue to surprise me with your savvy H&M purchases and I think you need to share some H&M tips with me.  Don't act like you don't know what i'm talking about-- hint hint-- the runners, the e-baying, the searches online.... mmHmm.  

Okay-- so here is my current favorite tee.  Can't tell why?  Obviously because it makes me look ridic skinny-- you can see my bones!  HAHA!  

THANK YOU Erin and Amanda M. at #SLT and Elianna at #Soulcycle for keeping me in shape!  Xoxo.
