The Spring Denim Edit

{ Via: Anine Bing } 

Spring is the perfect time for denim. With the weather warming up (66 here today), we want to get out of our wool. Denim today has been so elevated that you can wear it almost everywhere. I did a deep dive into denim yesterday. Here's some of the season's best.

 

Brooks Oversized Denim Jacket

The Brooks comes in 8 colors with or without studs.  I love the embellished look. $298

Reformation

Illuminate Cut Out Denim Midi

The perfect warm weather dress, if you have the back for it. Love! $1,100

Zimmermann

St. Tropez Denim Jacket

The South of France is always a good idea. Who has to know this came from H & M? This is the bargain buy of the edit. $45

H & M

Cinq a Sept  Studded Milly Jacket & Jeans
Denim on Denim. A very cool set that's sold separately. But each studded style stands on its' own. Loving the edge.

Cinq a Sept

Citizens Of Humanity

The horseshoe style isn't for everyone, but it does look good on this model. I love the ankle length styled with heeled sandals. $398

Moda Operandi

Blake Studded Wide Leg Jeans

These have a matching jacket, but I would love them styled with a great white shirt and these boots! $299

Mother: The Half Piped Jean

Here's a fun twist on a classic. Love the piping.  $258

Tuckernuck

Falabella Slim Leg Jeans

For me, the ultimate jean is always black or a very dark wash. These jeans match the iconic Falabella handbags with the dark silver chains. Crazy expensive and super cool. Now I want the jeans and the bag. $850

Here's something you can only get Harvey Nichol's, a fabulous London department store: Kilian Le Rouge Parfum Satin Lipstick. The colors are really good, with an enticing blend of gourmand and floral notes, a specially created harmony of marshmallow and orange blossom. Now that's unique!

Jo Malone London: I don't think there are better candles made. I love their website and the fact that their candles are handcrafted in a converted dairy in the rolling South Downs, where each passes through 16 pairs of skilled artisans’ hands and the process is a lesson in artistry and patience. In fact, over 90% of their products have British roots. So lovely with unique scents!

Hats are the accessory of the weekend in London, that's for sure. The United States has our own hat designer, Eugenia Kim. She got her start with Barney's New York. Now Saks carries her chic hats.

Top of the morning to ya! If you haven't noticed yet, green is trending brightly for spring. So today when we are all a wee bit Irish, I present the season's best green things!

Cut outs are another trend for spring. Stella takes  it to the max with this throwback style.

Cult Gaia

Charlotte Tilbury Green Lights Eyeshadow 

There is a lot of acid green out there for eyes this spring. I can't get into it. But this palette is sparkly but still subtle. This hazel eye girl might have to have this pretty palette.

Giambattista Valli Pleated Macrame Midi Skirt

Green and white are always a chic color combo. This skirt is beautifully made, and the price reflects the craftsmanship.

#TuesdayShoesDay: Ballet Flats

 

According to Vogue, if you buy only one pair of shoes for Fall, make it a pair of leather ballet flats. But not the old tried and true classics.

Pretty Ballerinas Ella Plaid Flats

Unique and fresh in a wonderful tweed plaid and patent leather. Pair these with black pants, white blouse and a fabulous red bag!

Tory Burch Flower Ballet Flat

Fanciful and fun. Love the plum color and all of the details ~ ruching, bling, and flower. The leather also looks like buttah!

more colors.
