DENIM ON DENIM & LEATHER

The denim bandwagon is here and it's going to stay for awhile. The fabulous denim trend have come and gone, but it's making a comeback. Denim with leather, denim with denim, and even denim with couture. It does make one fabulous concoction and the best part is that the "it can be paired with everything and anything and it's working" is absolutely WORKIN'. I've seen fabulous guys pairing a denim jacket with their suit (dress shirt under a sweater, under a denim jacket, under a suit jacket). Oh it's happening, AND WORKING! There's a quality that denim possesses that we're going crazy over. Maybe because it's versatile and you can pair it with absolutely everything. Or maybe because there's shades from the rainbow (and more) that you can choose from, mix and match with, and rock like denim is the only thing in your closet. Not only am I an advocate but I encourage it. Rock your denim which ever way you can and have fun with it! 

On a side note, this fabulous leather coat, I KNOW! It's sort of beat up (because, I've worn this since I was in middle school), sort of fabulous and kind of perfect. I love pieces that can stay in my closet and it will still stay in style or will eventually go back into style. There's no wonder I always gravitate towards those go-to staple pieces in my wardrobe. And it doesn't hurt that it's black AND leather.

I'm wearing:
7 for All Mankind jeans (similar)
Forever 21 denim button up
Zara heels (similar)
Fendi sunglasses
Gucci wallet

How fabulous is Diane's look? Day style that is styled to perfection.

Dare to bare for summer? I say yes! 

It's extremely hot lately and the last thing anyone would dream of is to be covered up. The only appropriate thing to do is to show off that midriff you've been hiding this past winter. I mean it's only just one of the recent trends of Resort 2014. Even Calvin Klein and Barbra Bui (to name a few) are encouraging it with their "dare to bare" number in their collection. 

So I say, why not?

LIGHT BLUE

Gioia June 2013
Photographs taken by Bruno Barbazan

Astrid Baarsma in Gioia June 2013 spread, "Light Blue" looked cool just like the color scheme of this editorial shoot. Dressed for day with blues and whites gives it a lighter feel of how the day will be. Am I really saying that what you're going to wear for the day will alter how your day is going to go?
Yes I am!
Of course, it's only fashion logic that what you wear is going to change what will happen that day. Starting out the day, trying to decide what to wear and obviously you're throwing on who you're going to be that day to accommodate one of your many moods. So to tie in with this spread, the suns out and it only calls for jeans, shorts, cool hues and cover ups just in case it gets a bit chilly.
