Denim shorts 'à la Rumi'

This is the trend that made Rumi, from Fashiontoast ( do I really still need to introduce this "oh so very stylish" blogger) jump to stardom or at least made most of us recognize her name. However, it was this same style trend that resulted in her having to explain herself and her fashion choices in one of her latest post. I invite you, if you haven't already done so, to go and read this article (dated 12/17/2009 and got nothing less than 364 comments and counting). Because, as one blogger put it, it truly is "the article we wished we had written ourselves".

So back to the trend itself, if you haven't guessed by now, I am talking of the denim shorts and tights combo perfect for winter. Worn by so many of you that I was hard to make a selection, so I tried to be as diverse as possible in my picks, this part you made easy. This unstoppable trend, simple as it may be has been sported in so many diverse ways. I'm talking killer heels vs. combat boots, opaque black tights vs. sheer dotted ones, OTK boots vs. ballet pumps, itsy bitty shorts vs. boyfriend shorts, blue denim vs. black denim...

Hope you all have a great week-end, if you have any comments or questions do feel free.

Chunky heels gone cute

When you have a pair of cute long (or shorter) legs, chunky heels seem to be your best friend, not only do they make your frame and legs smaller and longer but you could just about quick walk in them. As would say Rumi there is something quite beautiful about the ugliness of chunky heeled  shoes. they also downplay an ultra feminine outfit which is one of the reason I quite like them.

Wide legs (2)

Sources: Gala, Raqueli, and MaPetiteRobeNoire

This is the second part of m post on wide legs (for the first part go here) and this time the focus is on those wide legged jeans. They should be lose all over, slouchy and worn with a light and slightly too big top. Not than you can spot them, but I'm guessing that most of these young ladies are sporting some kind of heel under theirs. I must admit, I have quite a soft spot for them when paired with striped T-shirts and suspenders.

Wishing you all a fantastic week, I am currently in Rome and looking forward to sharing with you some of the wonders this city has to offer.
