Paleo is Popular - and it really works!

A friend shared this lifestyle with me and I lOVE it.  It is basically a way of life where you cut out all the bad stuff (AKA processed sugar) and eat loads of good stuff (AKA lean proteins, lots of coconut flour, nuts, veggies, fruits). Don't worry, this life still allows for dairy. Bonus - lean body, but mostly it makes you feel like a whole new person - better. complete. healthy.
Now that is worth an every day take. And, being fit is always in style.

FIT

Jean-ius

Once upon a time there was a girl that went on 213 dates in hopes that she would find The One. The one that would make her feel good about herself. The one that would support her from morning till night. The one that would hug her in all the right ways.

You know, the perfect pair of blue jeans.

After many ill-fitting suitors, recently in a pure, white dressing room she tied the knot. And now the pair {of jeans} lives happily ever after in the third drawer of her dresser.

The End.

Still looking for the missing piece that completes your all-Americana look? Let me play matchmaker and check out my guide of the traits you should be looking for.

If you have tummy troubles…

Go for a fit that sits just under your belly button and has a little bit of stretch.

If you have curves…

Credit info: Bloomingdale’s, J. Brand “Bombshell” Cigarette Leg Jean in Ink Wash, $158; Bloomingdale’s, Joe’s Jeans “Honey” Bootcut Jean in Burke Wash, $168; Victoria’s Secret, Hipster Bootcut Jean, $70

Look for jeans that go higher in the back to properly cover your assets. Literally. And so there isn’t an unflattering gapping situation, look for pants that have a seam at the waistband that was cut at a curve – not a straight, single piece of fabric.

If you have tomboyish traits…

Credit info: Banana Republic, Curvy Dark Wash Boot-cut Jean, $67; Express, Refrock Boot Cut Thick Stitch Jean, $118; Neiman Marcus, Citizens of Humanity Ava Straight Leg Jean, $218

You can play around with all sorts of fits and have success, but to really score high on your jean-ius IQ it’s best to go for a slimmer fit to give the illusion of shape.

If you have long legs…

Credit info: Bloomingdale’s, J. Brand Lovestory Flare Jean in Heritage Wash, $200; Gap, Sexy Boot Jean, $50; Levi’s, 512 Perfectly Slimming Straight Leg Jean, $20

Scale the racks for jeans with a longer inseam to cover those supermodel gams.

If you have petite portions…

Credit info: Express, Boot Cut Stella Regular Fit Jean, $80; Gap, Real Straight Jean, $70; True Religion, Becky Lonestar Jean, $172

Don’t overdo it when it comes to material. Pass on mega-wide, long-legged bell bottoms and keep it tailored and simple.

What is your biggest problem when it comes to jean shopping? What body type are you?

Old World Glamour

I love the idea of pairing something from the past with an idea from the future.  This bag is a perfect example...reminiscing a 1920's office girl, while accessorized with modern details makes this the perfect blend of 'old world' and 'modern glamour'. Take it to your next meeting!

Xmas Time is Coming

One of my favorite traditions is picking out special ornaments for each family member, for Christmas.  Usually the ornament represents something that happened in that person's life that year. These are completely Fab and refreshingly DIY -

1) Purchase solid colored ornaments.
2) Get colored paint.
3) Paint the dots in your favorite pattern.

Do Denim Right

Finding that pair of jeans that makes even you do a double-take in that 3-way mirror is no easy feat. However, once you find that pair that does, do not hesitate to buy as many, in your size, as you can.  Because we know, the second you decide to get another pair, they have ironically decided to discontinue them.

I personally love Sevens (for my skinny friends), Hudson (for straight legs), J Brand (for curves) and if you want a little hip action, Rock and Republic.  Seven, for men
 Hudson , Flares, for women
J Brand, Enchanted
 Rock & Republic, Straight leg
