Happy HUMP Day Babes! I was recently reminded of the value of great fitting jeans, after a particularly unpleasant experience related on Instagram. I realized that I've been pretty fortunate to find/have jeans that fit my curves very, very well. Case in point - the jeans pictured in today's post. I've had them for at least 5 years! However, they are exceptionally well-made and have stood the test of time. Still, I'll concede that it is time for me to add a few new pairs to my collection. My steady brand has been NYDJ for over ten years, however I am open to trying new/other brands. Please share: What is your favorite brand of jeans and why?
Until next time,
Xx

So Faux Real

By now you probably realize that I am totally infatuated with faux fur right?! I mean faux real!!! Check out just a few examples here, here, and here...LOL! Not only is faux fur warm and luxuriously stylish - but it is also totally on trend with a plethora of colors to choose  from. I scored this blue infinity style scarf a couple of weeks ago while I was out of town, and I simply couldn't wait to wear it 💓 

Secret: Whenever I don’t feel like thinking about ‘what’ to wear to an outing, I usually opt for denim:denim (a.k.a a Canadian Tuxedo). Seriously, you just can’t go wrong with it! I really like the fact that the denim does not have to match, for instance I wore this same shirt with black denim jeans and it looked equally fab (or at least I thought so, LOL) 😉 Actually, I scored pretty big with this top, not only does it play into my obsession with cold shoulders, but it also features an over-sized fit, meaning that it can be work as a tunic, layered, and of course more fitted as shown in today’s post. Did you notice the simple tip that I included, that is- how I altered this top to appear somewhat tailored?  So often we see/think of tops knotted in the front around the bellybutton, but have you every tried knotting a large shirt in the back? You really should! 

Let me tell you, I was totally feeling the simplicity of this look - yet it had just enough umph to have me feeling myself, LOL! 

Until next times Babes,

XO
