Free People 'Vintage 1' Overall $348 (*choke*)
Yeah they are, and not just from Free People either. Designers like Alexander Wang, See By Chloé, and 7 For All Mankind (just to name a few) have all hopped on the overall tractor, er…bandwagon. I’m 99% sure I have a pair not dissimilar to these, leftover from art school, at the bottom of a drawer somewhere. I also have a somewhat cleaner pair that I wore more than I’d like to admit during my pregnancy with Z. I guess what I’m not doing a very good job of saying, is that overalls have a place, I’m just not positive that it’s on a rack with a $350 price tag. She sure does makes them look cute though, but then again she’d look cute in a grill and a mullet. Tell the truth – are you on board…?
J Brand 'Indigo' Bootcut Jeans $185
I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, and it’s reeeaaally begun to weigh heavily on my mind. Not. I did however pose the question on Twitter the other night, “How do we feel about bootcut these days…?” and got an interesting and varied number of responses. No doubt skinnies have reigned supreme the last few seasons (and I’ll be the first to admit that I was late to the bandwagon due to my height and body type), but have they managed to obliterate bootcut for good? I have to say, that when I pull mine on and look in the mirror I think, “Over.” Then there’s a part of me that loves to wear them with my worn-in cowboy boots and a vintage blouse, à la Lori Maddox when she was nailing Jimmy Page and hanging at The Riot House…that’s mostly on the days when I let my hair go ‘curly.’ What do you think? Potential to become classics or just done? Go…!

Further proof that just because you’re a mom, doesn’t mean you can’t be fashionable. (And without having to spend a lot of cash.) Exhibit #001: D. At home, on a Sunday afternoon, look cuter. (And yes my chic mommy friends, beware; this does in fact mean that you are now fodder for my website.) After telling her about seven times how much I was digging her outfit, D sweetly acquiesced and allowed me to take her photo…and grill her about her ensemble item by item (details below). Yet another opportunity to demonstrate that having kids isn’t synonymous with looking schlubby. Thanks D! xoxo

'Stiruppz' $25 Per Set of Two
Tres Leches cake…..traffic…..people who are late…..bunchy jeans…..THINGSICANTSTAND!!!! Ding, ding, ding! Correct. I’ve always said that it’s the little things that make me the happiest, and hallelujah, Stiruppz are no exception. There’s nothing worse than wearing an outfit that you adore, only to have to continually bend over and re-tuck your jeans into your boots all night. Not to mention? It just looks plain sloppy when they’re all bunched up around your knees. Enter Stiruppz. Being that it is the season of the boot, the brainchild of Arlington, Virginia bartenders Jenn Crittenden and Lisa Church hasn’t arrived a moment too soon.
Since it was finally boot weather in L.A. this past weekend, I got to try them out for myself. It took me a few times to adjust my jeans to the proper length (but maybe because I’m a total spaz, since it’s not that deep), but once they were in place it was dreamy, and my jeans DID. NOT. MOVE. My Stiruppz created a smooth line, and more importantly were comfortable. (This being a huge deal for me, especially when I’m PMS-ing and want to rip any remotely uncomfortable item immediately off my person.)
You’ll have to tell me what you think, because now is your chance to win your very own pair of Stiruppz and see for yourself! All you have to do to enter, is leave a comment on this post describing the crappiest method with which you’ve tried to secure your jeans within your boots…rubber bands? Tucked into your socks, perhaps? BTDT. Let me know…
