Levi's Winter 2010 Lookbook
I just got my first pair of Levi's (they are vintage Levi's shorts) and if this Lookbook for Winter 2010 is any indication of what Levi's has in store for us, well sign me up. Although it's hard to think about winter right now, I love the looks presented in this collection. The classic Levi's denim jacket (which has been seen on many celebs) is a constant with additions to the key pieces we expect to see from Levi's. Ripped skinny jeans, patched jeans, distressed skinnies for men it's all there. The original boyfriend jean is back and the styling is superb in these photos. Levi's offers something for everyone which is why they are the originator of the jeans we love so much!
Stephanie Pratt in Rag & Bone Denim Leggings
Stephanie Pratt and Lo Bosworth film scenes for The Hills at The Coral Tree. Stephanie was looking just right in her Rag & Bone Denim Leggings. I am head-over-heels for the stitching and the resulting cut which is much like a riding jodhpur.
When I go to NYC for Coterie next month (to bring you back the word on all the latest trends) I will definitely be hitting Barney's to buy a pair of these. I love Rag & Bone and Barney's has a great selection.
Ashley Greene in MiH Jeans
Wearing a Simdog Zipper Tank Top tucked into her high-waist MiH Marrakesh Jeans, adorable actress Ashley Greene makes her way into an office building in Los Angeles. What a beautiful girl..... siiiigh.
I an not wait until the next installment of The Twilight Saga comes out. Even though there were way too many cringe inducing scenes due to bad acting, the story is so excellent, the actors so addicting, that I am excited to see the continuation regardless!
Elegance Lies in Simplicity
I came upon this photo spread randomly looking at some of my favorite European blogs a bit back. I tried to identify its origins but came up empty (so please do comment if you know) that said, I think it's worthy of posting as it is beautifully shot and casually stunning. Featuring a plethora of denim and a stunning model (albeit a very thin model) it speaks to the title of this entry as elegance does lie in simplicity. I've been working on my photography skills of late and I will definitely draw inspiration in the future from this shoot both in terms of layout and dress.
Alice Dellal in No. #8
Punk, Model, Goddess Alice Dellal shines in this editorial for No. Magazine wearing denim pieces paired with her spectacular edgy fashion. Whether it's a denim Topshop jacket wrapped around her waist with a body suit and thigh-highs or a patriotic denim shirt thrown on top of a miniskirt, the New Zealand magazine hits the mark with this editorial. I've always loved her shaved head it set Dellal apart from the pact and was likely the wisest decision in her blooming career.
Guess Jeans Spring/Summer 2010
Last week in Los Angeles, Guess and Lucky Magazine joined forces to support Children's Action Network to help thousands of foster children living in the United States. November happens to be National Foster Care Month and since my Mom has been a long supporter of foster care and adoption issues I was more than happy to go and also cover the story. Perspective being everything, there are over 350,000 children living in foster care in the United States and over 129,000 of those children are available to be adopted. Donned in Guess I had fun on the red carpet wearing their military denim jacket that I literally saw being pulled off the racks and enjoyed meeting the Guess PR team. I'm a huge fan of Guess ad campaigns, they have historically set the bar going back many years when they featured Claudia Schiffer as the face of the brand. Always sexy with a touch of rocker chick, the 2009 Fall/Winter campaign was one of my all time favorites (I posted the behind the scenes video below). The Spring/Summer 2010 collection features sexy skinny jeans and a touch of retro styling and we have a glimpse of the clothes (keep an eye out for the campaign). Keeping pace with the current trend of distressed denim and washes the new denim collection promises to keep you looking good no matter what you wear with it.
