J Brand Low-Rise Capri Twill Pants

J Brand Low-Rise Capri Twill Pants

red, white… and blue (denim!)

 

 

Happy Canada Day! And Independence Day Eve Eve EVE. In celebration I’m profiling my three favorite colors of denim right now. As much as I live in my JBrand black skinny jeans, spring and summer is a time to lighten (and brighten) things up. I bought these rag & bone “crimson” jeans a few weeks ago (Lauren Conrad’s a fan!), and every time I wear them I’m stopped with complements. Sarah Jessica Parker lead this trend earlier this year, and it keeps on going…

I also love white jeans year-round. To mix things up from a skinny leg, wear flares with summer espadrilles or wedges. And in honor of the 4th of July – JBrand’s “cobalt” blue skinnies are a hit with Kim Kardashian, and top my wish-list. Let the bright-festive long-weekend festivities BEGIN.

 

lulu-lovin’

By now it probably feels like there are few (if any) women on the planet who don’t know lululemon. This Canadian success story (a self-described yoga-inspired athletic apparel company) hails from Vancouver, British Columbia with stores across Canada, the US, and Australia. It’s internationally known, extremely popular, workout and leisurewear that is addictively-amazing. If you haven’t noticed the logo (a stylized “A”, which stands for “Athletically Hip,” a name that was being considered for the company) EVERYWHERE, you will now.

Kristin’s wearing lulu’s reversible cropped wunder unders – I have too many pairs of these to admit – black, dark gray, even purple. The snugging luon material is comfortable, yet flattering. Lauren’s crops are the Run Turbo, a bit shorter and shinier, and still combining fashion with function.

G-oh Canada!

“the girls”

Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz are both fans of THE GIRLS apparel, both wearing Tummy Control Capri Pants (style #7079) above. The $everyday workout leggings retail for ~$30. Favorite to Katie Holmes, Nicole Richie, Kate Hudson, Amanda Seyfried, Emma Roberts, Lauren Conrad, Whitney Port, Ashley Tisdale, and Amy Adams – it’s no surprise these crops are a BEST seller. Their snugging (not spreading) material keep your wobbly bits in place, so you can wear them before and after the gym… and anywhere your day takes you.

Reese rocked hers on the West Coast – choosing a navy hoodie and yellow retro Ray-Bans – while Cam went for a navy and red training jacket, accompanied by the most powerful accessory of all… boyfriend, New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez (not shown).

Water bottles in tow, both blondes remind us to stay hydrated. Thanks ladies, or should I say “girls”.

 

SJP school run

SJP is a style phenomenon. As much as I love her style on the big (and small) screen and red carpet – this icon knows how to effortlessly rock her signature style in her daily life too. Every day is a 10!!

Parker keeps things consistent, often opting for UGGs (her go-tos are gray and sand). SJP also loves her Gerard Darel tukes (shown above in gray), Ray-ban oversized plastic shield sunglasses, and black down puffy vest. In the second pic, she’s wearing a Halston Heritage sequin tote (in gold, the same bag is shown in black in pic #3). I love her undone bed head hair, grey cuffed skinny cords and brown suede slouch cow-girl boots. Next, Sarah Jessica gets comfy in a Phillip Lim 3.1 gray cable knit sweater coat, purple cords, and metallic ballerina flats. And last, but not least… she pairs her down vest with cut-off denim pedal pushers, gray suede flats, a gray top and gold tote. This last look appears the most effortless, and for that reason it’s tied for my favorite with #2.

Sarah knows her personal style, she owns it and she rocks it. Every time.
