If you loved Robin’s blouse on last night’s midseason finale of “How I Met Your Mother” – here it is! Equipment’s Brett Colorblock blouse (Canada) is great with jeans or dress pants. Robin’s black cherry J Brand 811′s are a great complement to the colorblock natural white/black. If you love white and black blouses – this unexpected combination is a great neutral and a holiday staple!
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.

My first memory of colored denim stems back to grade 7 when I first saw the girls in my gymnastics class (who were in grade 8, and therefore much cooler than me) wearing Le Château purple and hunter green jeans. I just had to have them. Immediately. For better or for worse, my mom indulged my incessant retail obsessions from a young age and we were soon after purchasing several pairs from the mall. A good 15… years later, I’m finding myself drawn to red skinny jeans and crops. When I first saw Sarah Jessica Parker wearing them last spring my heart skipped a beat. While I can’t say I wholeheartedly support her choice to pair it with her “Halston Heritage Tie Dye Sac Bag” and pink T (too much for almost anyone other than her), I’m a big fan of a hot red pant with white, black (be careful of the red riding hood effect), grays and creams.
Even this spring’s love for all-pants-flared can be successfully worn in a softer crimson hue.
