Fall Must haves...

Photos by Refinery 29

So today I was reading on refinery and saw they had the must haves out for this fall. After looking through this great site I notice I may be ahead of the game for once. Plaid shirts, slouchy blazers, rolled jeans(which I love) ankle trousers, Yes!!! I love all these things with a passion and have plenty to hold me over..Though I need to get my hands on a leather jacket, that won't break the bank. The grey one in the middle which I LOOOOVE is by Jenni Kayne and retails for $1700...ouch!!!

I am thinking all I really need is some gorgeous balenciaga open toe boots a leather jacket, and some more colored tights and I will be set!!!

My DRKSHDW'S Arrived and.......

I finally found a pair that fits!!!!! YAHOO. These jeans are gorgeous. I mean it only took 3 try's to get the right pair, and I would have been done had these not fit, but I am now hooked on these jeans. So here is the story. Ups guy comes I am excited like usual, open the box, run to bedroom to slip on, Cant get them buttoned!!!! I was not having this at all and was ready to pop, but remembered wet stretching which I usually have to do with all my raw denim, and within 2 hours they fit like a dream. YAAAAA!!!!

The wash is a gorgeous rusty brown overtone to a medium blue denim. As I played with them last night I couldnt for the life of me figure out what to do with the extra 6" hem. I usually hem all my jeans on my own, but with straight leg cuts I get freaky hemming since I like them at different lengths all the time. So here I go with the predictable rolling of my jeans. I think YES they are perfect. I look down and low and behold I see a selvage line. I had no idea Mr. RO used selvage denim. So I have to say that now I am happy.

The DRKSHDW jeans issue....

Soo, I have purchased three pairs of DRKSHDW jeans in the last few months. To be honest I have been less then impressed by the cut and fit for ladies. The first pair came and were a beautiful wash dirty and summery, but the leg seaming was a bit off and almost puckered at the meeting seams. Hmmm...I thought maybe I got a bunk pair, so I try again, second pair has different seaming, just fits like it is made for a guy (which is fine) But so not flattering on a womans body. So third try...again with the funky side seaming (like the pair pictured above), again puckered. I am thinking what the hell is going on with these jeans. Has anyone else had this problem with R.O's diffusion line or is it just me. I purchased my last and final pair last week. They will arrive via ups today. I really really hope they will work out. I made sure this time to bypass this stupid crazy seam thing.

Torn on which to choose...

Which would you chose??

I have fallen in love with these Acne Tube jeans and although I already purchased them in the DC, or raw wash, I was thinking that maybe the black ones(cash) would be nice too for dinners and everyday errands with a white tee. I hate dilemas like this. What would you do? Buy both, or just wait and carry on with the denim ones?

I love the way a higher rise straight leg feels when it is on, there is just something classy about tucking in a tee and putting on heels with them. Since I am a mom I suppose it is ok to go with the Mom rise...Hahahaa.

A new thing....

For me fashion has become something I crave more and more each day. The more I seem to learn the more I am willing to try out. As I get older it seems that I seem to crave more age appropriate looks, yet sometimes I just want to add something crazy and run with it. My style has been all over the map since I was very young. I went through a punk phase in my teens were 20 hole docs and ripped stockings were the norm, then off to wearing frilly dresses and strappy greek sandals. I really hope I have picked up more style and learned what fits my body as I have aged!!!

After looking at blogs for the last year I have decided to give it a try myself. I hope it will be fun and I look forward to still watching my favorite bloggers daily.

I am new to this and obviously need to get the photo skills down, so I will work on it as I go.
