denim 2.012
Tuesday, December 13
Check out the look of jeans to come--this spring. They're anything but basic blue (or red or pink or grey, like we've seen in seasons past). The styles above are by one of my favorite new(ish) denim lines Mother. Unlike your average jeans, these are rendered in vividly graphic patterns, from a kitschy Hawaiian landscape to a bright cherry print. And the amazingly flattering cut means your legs look a million miles long. They hit stores including Curve in mid-February.

It's raining in LA today, but I have beach on the brain. My husband and I just got back from a heavenly three-day trip to Mexico. The weather was balmy, the pico de gallo uber tasty and the frosty, fresh lime margaritas went down like, well, frosty, fresh lime margaritas. Despite the brevity of our stay (and my small carry-on), I packed dresses aplenty--but how I wish I had brought this raffia-trimmed dress by Gypset. Is it not fabulous, in all its glittery bohemian apres-sun glory? I am ordering one for my next beachy holiday. Pronto.
