Falling Bombs are Shooting Stars Sometimes


The lovely folks at Ralph Lauren invited me to preview the new Rugby denim collection a little while ago, followed by a delicious dinner at The Lion with a super intimate group of six amazing fashion bloggers including Erica from P.S. I Made This, Jenn from Le Fashion, Elizabeth from White Lightning, Kelly from The Glamourai and Gala Darling.

I'm not usually very big on denim--I'm much more comfortable in dresses and skirts and I have an inordinately hard time finding jeans that fit me well. That's why it was such a surprise to me when I exited the fitting room that night wanting every single piece I had tried on. I don't know what it is those designers at Rugby are doing, but it's working. The skinny jeans fit me like a glove, had a super soft hand feel and a perfectly faded wash (so hard to find). The dark wide-leg jeans with suspenders were also amazing. But my favorite piece was the floor-length overall dress above. It's soft, comfy, a little bit dramatic, a little romantic, and definitely draws some major attention whenever I wear it out.

Check out all the Rugby denim here. xoxo

I'm in love with photographer (and personal friend) Sophie Elgort's pictures from the weekend. Sophie showed up to the Kanon Vodka/Grand Life party toting her Leica camera around and this is the result. I love the grainy black-and-white shots. They remind me of old newspaper photos--kind of old-fashioned and romantic, no? 

Sophie's an amazing emerging photographer, not to mention co-founder of fashion site Aliomi. 

More to come tomorrow--for now, I'm so exhausted, I can barely form coherent sentences. Good night loves. xo
