It is spring break for my kids this week! Yay! This means I have been able to take a little vacation along with them. When I am relaxing, yet still need to dress decently in order to go about town running errands etc., nothing beats the current athleisure trend. I am so happy leggings are considered fashionable right now! My favorite leggings to reach for when I am sporting the athleisure look at these soft and chic, straight leg leggings by Comm-Ci.

Comm-Ci is a fabulous online shop which is a legging heaven. They offer every type of legging imaginable from cropped knee length to straight leg. They offer high waist and low waist options, making it a one-stop-shop for leggings. Love!

I really love my straight leg leggings from Comm-Ci, they are so soft and comfortable; I definitely need to add more pairs to my wardrobe!

My son is trying to save up his allowance for a video game, so I showed him how to use my DSLR camera and he took these photos! He is only eight-years-old and I think he did a great job on the photos! He was really proud of himself when he realized he had learned how to use the camera. It was so cute! Don’t you think he did a great job?

You can find my leggings and more by Comm-Ci on their website at Comm-Ci.com.

Thanks for stopping by!

Bridge & Boro denim at New York Fashion Week

Wearing: ivory tassel earrings / Chanel spring lipstick / pink and silver jacket (under $200!) / denim short c/o Bridge & Boro / Alexander McQueen scarf / black tee (old, also love this one) / jeans c/o Bridge & Boro / Gucci belt / Givenchy handbag / Kendra Scott ring / Chanel spring nail polish / black socks / silver velcro street sneakers

On day three of New York Fashion Week, I went for a NY street style look. So many NYFW attendees wear denim; it is fun to see how they make it fabulous! I decided it was my turn to wear denim, and amp up my casual style into something street style worthy. I could not have done it without these fabulous denim pieces from New York denim brand Bridge & Boro.

Bridge & Boro makes the most fabulous denim pieces! They have limited edition pieces made from scarce denim fabric, as well as standard pieces in their collection with a timeless quality. The company is family owned and run; and the collection is made in New York!

It is extremely difficult to fit my body into jeans. I have always had a waist size much smaller than my hips and thighs. This is a problem many women have; let’s face it, we are hourglass for a reason! The majority of denim companies out there make their jeans for men, and then size them down for women without re-working them to actually fit a woman’s body. Bridge & Boro just fits. The jeans are made for women. The result is a flattering fit which will look amazing on most women. Love that!

In addition to a women’s denim collection, Bridge & Boro offers denim for men; which is just as fabulous as the women’s collection. Love! I definitely need to get a pair for my hubby!

Denim on denim is a huge trend this year. Although it has been going strong for the past couple of years, denim is bigger than life for spring 2017. Designers are showing it on everything from clothing to accessories. This is the perfect season to rock the denim on denim trend; and invest in some fabulous denim pieces!  For your perfect denim this spring, check out Bridge & Boro at bridgenboro.com.

It was fun wearing this outfit on day three of fashion week. I was snapped by several street style photographers outside the show. Here is a fun photo by fabulous street style photographer Denton Taylor:

Denton Taylor snapped this picture outside The Skylight Clarkson when I was on my way to my first show of the day; Asia Fashion Collection by Vantan. In addition to Asia Fashion Collection, on day three I went to Taoray Wang, Romeo Hunte, Yuna Yang, CG by Chris Gelinas, A Detacher, Georgine, and Francesca Liberatore. In addition to shows, I attended a fun blogger brunch hosted by Twiirly and Amour Vert. You can read about it here.

I am looking forward to wearing this denim on denim look by Bridge & Boro often this upcoming spring season; minus the jacket and scarf. It will look cute with slides, or high heel sandals. The pieces will also look fabulous worn with other items from my closet. They are so versatile and fabulous! Love!
