Everyone can boast of at least 1 pair of jeans. The classic blue jean is a wardrobe staple. There may be slight changes in the ‘it’ silhouette from season to season and according to fashion dictates. From the distressed to the flare, cropped or skinny to name a few but denim still rules, has such unmatched versatility and is not going anywhere anytime soon.
What do you favor? I love distressed. Gosh I love skinny jeans. No scratch that. I love flares. Heck I love them all! They're everyone’s (both boys and gals alike) 'go to' and there’s a plethora of creative styling possibilities for any and every pair.
Today I’ve incorporated a pair of denim flares, the new 'it' fit and one of my old faves that I spoke about here in my look. Fashion gals all over are loving and trusting this silhouette to keep them comfy and cozy especially in the upcoming Fall season. Featuring flare jeans, this gorgeous necklace, a gift from the wonderful folks at Haute Beads, a layered frilly bandeau top, Daffodile Brodee a limited edition from Christian Louboutin's 20th anniversary collection years ago and a Jimmy Choo bag, this look is easy, cute and comfy.
How cute is that top by the way? My daughter has since claimed it and it now hangs pretty in her closet, :-0.
A perfect yet playful day time or sexy date night piece, this top is by Lost link and comes in two colors. Sadly it is sold out but here is something similar in a color that will transition seamlessly into Fall. And here is another with long sleeves that's perfect for the upcoming season. I scooped up one of each and I am so in love! If something about Fall makes you crave flares, then check out this pair that's similar to my (antique, LOL) Bebe pair.

"Life is too short to wear boring jewelry"
I was pretty stoked when I received this stunning piece of jewelry from Haute Beads. It's been sitting in the box it came in for a while now cos sadly this full time working gal is currently involved in a few projects that are just gnawing away at my time. Truth be told staying afloat has been a challenge lately. That will pass soon I promise.
Haute Beads
I introduced this brand to you here. Checked them out yet? You’d be amazed at all the great finds. This and this are so cute and this is still available for purchase. Okay okay, I won’t spoil it for you. I am a sucker for tag lines. Theirs is "we design with passion or not at all'. Fab! Head on over and take a peek, you won’t be disappointed. Thank me later now. You're welcome!

Did you read about the Atlanta 4th grade teacher's photos that went viral for her dressing? I didn't but my daughter did and told me and then another teacher at work said she read it and thought of me. She didn't think it was offensive. Not by a long shot. Not sure who was complaining about that gal's clothes but I personally think it's ridiculous that she's being sexualized because of her curvy body. Like dude, she has no control over that. We all wear jeans/tee and knit dresses and those hug the body too. I hope she doesn't lose her job over this cos teachers have a right to look good too. Not inappropriate but good, really good. Count me in! #teacherbae, support all the way.
Funny
Seriously guys, this is hilarious!
So a sibling to one of my students from last year thinks Beyonce is Ms. Idu. Her mom, a colleague of mine said when Beyonce was performing at the VMAs, she insisted that was 'Ms. Idu on TV' and nobody could convince her otherwise. I ran into her and dad on campus yesterday and as soon as dad said "she thinks you're Beyonce", she took off and hid behind him. I couldn't stop laughing. Can't wait till she comes to Kindergarten 17/18 school year.
Hope your week was great darlings.
I indulged all week. Too much food, too much cookies and cream ice cream (my new favorite flavor), some shopping, yada yada yada. On the flip side, it's fashion month, what are you loving? What trends do you see emerging?
I hope y'all enjoy a much needed relaxation this weekend!
