Rebecca Minkoff Takes LA

Perry Shorts & Bedford Front Tail Shirt.

Last week fellow blogger It Girl Leah and I headed to the LOOKBOOK x Rebecca Minkoff DENIM Launch Party at Confederacy LA. The Hollywood boutique was transformed into a full on party complete with cocktails, a graffiti wall, and music by DJ Chris Kennedy. Party goers got a first look at the Rebecca Minkoff DENIM. The line offers five different styles of denim in five different colors, along with two t-shirt styles. I’m usually not much of a jeans & t-shirt kinda girl, but this line has me seriously thinking otherwise.

Rebecca Minkoff DENIM supports the No Kid Hungry initiative with each purchase helping a hungry child in need with up to 20 meals. The line is truly a bi-coastal effort with the garments inspired by the streets of New York City — which also gives the jeans their namesake — and manufactured in the heart of Downtown LA.

My favorite piece from the line is the printed Bleecker Skinny Jean. Printed denim is the perfect way to pull together a casual, yet chic, look with minimal effort. You can easily pair these jeans with a v-neck tee and either heels, for a dressier look, or a pair of sneaks, for the on-the-go fashionista. While this line is a bit pricier than my normal go-to shops, the high-quality products and goodwill initiatives make any purchase seem like a worthwhile investment!

Check out my pictures from the event and let me know which piece of Rebecca Minkoff DENIM will be making it’s way into your closet!

Max Out On Maxis

To say that I live in dresses and skirts would be an understatement. Without a doubt, they’re my go-to choices when getting dressed for almost any occasion. Luckily, skirts never go out of style and this season that’s especially true!

Maxi skirts are popping up in everywhere! Maxis are easily one of the most versatile pieces of any wardrobe. You can dress them up or down, don one for work, or even sport one for date night or a night out. There’s no short supply on variety in terms of silhouette, print, or style. If you’re anything like me, you’ll easily become obsessed with maxis and fill your closet before you know it!

I shopped around and wrangled up a few fab finds of budget-conscious, yet style-conscious, maxi skirts…

1. Top Shop: Animal Print Maxi — 2. Urban Outfitters: Double Slit Maxi — 3. H&M: Black Illusion Maxi — 4. Urban Outfitters: Floral Maxi — 5. Nasty Gal: Mint Green Maxi — 6. Forever 21: Chiffon Maxi — 7. Nordstrom: Hi-Lo Maxi

My favorite maxi — of the moment — is a coral criss-cross maxi I snagged at Target. It’s figure flattering. brightly colored, and quickly becoming a staple in my wardrobe!

Let me know which of my maxi picks is your favorite!

Happy Friday!

Overall Overhaul

Overalls are making a comeback! 90’s kids everywhere can be heard rejoicing over the resurgence of the denim one-piece. Fashion-forward celebs like Alessandra Ambrosio, Alexa Chung, & Ashley Madewke have already been spotted out and about sporting this trend. Overalls were even recently seen walking the runways of Rebecca Minkoff, Ruffian, & 3.1 Phillip Lim and have made their way into stores just in time for Summer. From leather to prints to the classic denim look, this season’s overalls have been given a few updates to stay perfectly on trend.

While I don’t recommend just dusting off your old pair of childhood coveralls — but hey, do you — I do recommend having a little fun with this trend! Whether you’re going for an effortlessly casual look or a chic, put-together ensemble, styling and accessories will play a key part in painting the complete — or overall, see what I did there — picture. Alessandra Ambrosio — pictured to the left — opted for a more carefree look by pairing her denim overalls with wedges and a tank, while Ashley Madewke pulled together a very elegant look in a tailored pair of Top Shop overalls.

Before you completely shoot down the idea of bringing back overalls, take a peek at these fab finds…

1. Nasty Gal: Leather Overalls — 2. River Island: Acid Wash Dungarees — 3. Urban Renewal: Marble Denim Overalls — 4. TopShop: Moto Vintage Overalls — 5. TopShop: Printed Pinafore

I’m more than ready to wear a brand new pair of dungarees this season — you should try everything once, right?! What’s your take on overalls?
