Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we love denim. Let’s face it, San Francisco is the birthplace of the denim pant as know it! Therefore, anytime there is a fabulous new denim company in the world of jeans, I have to try them out!

Rose Royce jeans is a hot new denim company who designs unique styles with fabulous pockets! I love this! No-one wants boring pockets, denim pants are ALL about the pockets! And the fit too

What makes Rose Royce unique is the fact that the pockets vary on each style of denim the company makes. This means you can buy multiple pairs of great-fitting jeans from the same brand and no two pairs will look alike! Love that!

In this article I am wearing the black Rose Royce “Royce” skinny jean. I love the flower buttons on the front and back, as well as the fit! The jeans offer a little bit of stretch which helps them fit perfectly and feel comfortable. Rose Royce fit true to size too; which makes ordering online easy.

Contest: Rose Royce has assembled together fourteen fashionable and fabulous bloggers in a style contest! The bloggers photos’ are on Rose Royce’s Facebook Page and the blogger who receives the most “likes” on their profile picture in the slideshow will win a prize! So now, I must do some shameful begging and ask you to pop over to the slideshow and cast your vote for who you think styled their Rose Royce jeans the best. The contest slideshow is online here. Thank you for your support and don’t forget to “like” Rose Royce on Facebook too!

Oceanic hues and a Hayden Hartnett handbag

June 24, 2013 in Bay Area Fashion / Handbags tagged blue / cobalt / hayden hartnett / hobos / outfits / shoulder bags / summer 2013 by Bay Area Fashionista

Cobalt blue. It is a favorite hue of designers year after year, and for 2013 is appears to be more important than ever. While this vibrant hue was spotted all over the spring/summer 2013 runways, cobalt blue dominated the recent resort 2014 runways; proving this is the ultimate color to invest in right now.

Since cobalt blue is important this year, and into next year, it is a great color to have in your wardrobe. Cobalt blue not only offers a pop of color to neutral ensembles; the color is almost neutral itself, and blends well with almost any color group. This make it the perfect hue for a handbag since we all need a purse we can wear everyday which blends well with the majority of our wardrobes.

This beautiful handbag featured in today’s article is a bright, cobalt blue shoulder bag from fabulous handbag designer Hayden-Hartnett. Hayden-Hartnett makes perfect handbags for everyday wear. They have a wide variety of daytime clutches, roomy tote bags, work bags, cross body bags, satchels, shoulder bags and more! The entire collection features usable pockets in the interior, and on some styles the exterior, which are handy for keeping everything organized. Love that!

I am in love with my Hayden-Hartnett handbag. In addition to its’ vibrant, cobalt blue hue, the pockets are great for keeping my belongings where I can find them! The leather is soft and the handbag is comfortable to wear; not to mention lightweight!

There are a wide variety of handbags, which are perfect for summer, and into next year, on the Hayden-Hartnett website right now. The sale section also has beautiful blues, yellows and greens! These are three important colors moving into 2014. Perfect investment!

Escape into summer with a Wallis caftan

June 21, 2013 in General Fashion tagged dresses / outfits / summer 2013 / wallis by Bay Area Fashionista

Summer is upon us which means pool parties, vacations to luxury resorts, beach getaways and many exciting outdoor activities. Fabulous outdoor parties, events and more call for none other than a colorful caftan! That’s right! The popular 1960’s and 1970’s trend is back. Caftans are hot for summer.

I love this colorful, striped caftan from Wallis. The colors are vibrant and the hi-lo silhouette offers a flattering contour and comfortable fit. The fabric breaths; allowing the cool breeze from the ocean to keep me cool during a warm weather, summer event! Love that!

Wallis is a fabulous online shop which offers more than just caftans. They have beautiful tops and dresses which are priced right. I’m looking forward to picking up more pieces from Wallis to add to my wardrobe. Definitely check out their website and you may just find a colorful caftan for that upcoming summer party too!
