By Ann of Holier than Now Here in NYC, it’s been one Spring forward and two steps back with this bipolar weather! So in honor of the Spring that’s not here … yet … I’m going to indulge in some Spring/Summer outfit inspiration! The black blazer, white tee, denim shorts combo is nothing new – you might even call it [...]

Blazers are one of those pieces that pull any outfit together. I’ve said it before, even if you’re wearing a tee shirt and jeans, just throw on a blazer and you’re set to go anywhere! While I have my selection of black blazers, one thing on my wishlist was getting a denim blazer for the [...]

One of the great things about denim is that it’s perfect for dreary days. Now that winter is coming it’s time to get creative with how to dress up and stay warm at the same time. Sophie here, is wearing straight black today, with her black denim worn under over the knee flat boots, and [...]

With all the talk about double denim being a fluke. I really think it’s going to be around for at least a season or two. Heck, it could be like camouflage, which I have been anticipating its trend-demise for ten years. Here, I caught a woman on the street wearing double denim in real life, [...]

While in New York, I had the opportunity to stop by the Juicy Couture boutique on Madison Avenue, to get dressed for the BlogHer conference. While there, it seemed like a great time to check out the relaunch of Juicy Couture denim lines. I had a pair of Juicy jeans from 2005, and I have [...]

With a denim shirt and classic jean jacket. I’ve always loved my denim jacket and sometimes it creeps in there, unexpectedly. Sometimes it [...]

During my trip to New York, I took a tour of some denim showrooms, one of which is Current/Elliot. It’s a brand that I have been very interested in, as they have such a relaxed cool style, that’s fashionable without being cheesy or sloppy. The designers, Emily Current and Meritt Elliott have a background as [...]

At Bikes and the City, you enter the world of a woman on her bicycle…taking the streets, drinking coffee and looking fabulous. Riding a bike in the city can be intimidating. All the cars, the hills, what to do with shoes…and dude, will they ever design a cute helmet? I don’t know how it ever came [...]

Everyone I know who wears J Brand jeans, calls the denim maker one of their favorites. Even my husband raves about how much he loves his J Brand jeans. Simple, comfortable, and durable…not flashy or trashy, J Brand is a fancy jean without being fancy at all. Admittedly I have not owned my own pair, [...]

The other day, I had lunch with Natalie from Coquette, who is one of my first blog friends…we go wayyyy back. Natalie has a fantastic way of bringing casual chic to the next level. I really love this Stella McCartney for H&M (remember that collab?) denim jacket, which doesn’t look like any other jacket I’ve [...]

In college, I once knew this woman who said, “I don’t feel an outfit is complete without a little bit of denim.” The statement seemed really bold, I mean, there are loads of complete outfits sans denim, but I think what she was saying is that there is a way to integrate denim in almost [...]

There aren’t a lot of afternoons in San Francisco where you can wear shorts, and you can never, ever, ever leave the house without a jacket, no matter how nice it looks out there. Never. One gorgeous day, we caught up with Gelena wearing the most darling navy blue romper, nude ballet flats and a [...]
