jeans – On the Double

A secret weapon in any woman’s closet, a perfect pair of jeans faithfully embodies comfort and sensuality all at once. Dressed down with a tee shirt and flats or with a silk blouse and heels for a night out, if there’s one thing a girl can rely on it’s her jeans. Jeans come in all shapes and sizes, but I believe the one style in particular that earns a spot as a true wardrobe hero is the high rise straight fit jean. It’s simple, flattering, and timeless. If you have saved searches for the likes of Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy (guilty, guilty, guilty) or follow modern street style stars on social media (seriously guilty) there’s little to no doubt vintage Levi’s frequent your feeds. More often than not after a few clicks you discover the vintage threads- most likely the label’s illustrious 501 style- were snatched up from Ebay, ReDone, Reformation, or Urban Outfitters. The 501 is a universally flattering and versatile style that the best of the best style icons all seem to have in common. Read More

Every year in August when it’s practically too hot and humid to go outside I long for cold winter nights, snow days, and layers upon layers of chunky knits, wool coats, and tall boots, but come February my wind burnt cheeks, chapped lips, and freezing toes have just about had enough. I actually do really enjoy piling on the layers and getting bundled up to go outside, but thoughts of idyllic balmy spring weather (and being able to go outside without freezing my bum off) make me eager for warmer days.

Living in DC you quickly learn how to dress for in-between weather because the transition between seasons in the District is wildly unpredictable. The turnover from winter to spring is particularly fickle, putting the city in a state of limbo going back and forth between warm and cold days until the buds are blooming and spring finally sets in. It’s easy to get caught up in spring fever and all the florals tromping up and down the runway, but whether you like it or not you may very well be holed up under all of your layers for a few more weeks (at the very least.) On the upside, taking a spring attitude to your winter wardrobe by way of creative color combinations is all you need to hit refresh on your winter favorites. Read More
