Denim on Denim: Fashion or Faux Pas?

Anyone else still see Chambray shirts as a fashion faux pas from the 90's? I'll be honest, it was my first thought when I started to see the trend pop up in stores. I mean, wasn't that the grunge style as explained in the movie, "Clueless?" Putting the past aside, the Chambray shirt is becoming the next waspy fashion must have. Here are some of my favorite ways to wear Chambray.

Now onto the next part of Chambray. Chambray on Jeans? Yes. Even I was a bit weary of putting denim on denim, but when you mix the different shades on denim as well as adding some color to the outfit, it truly brings it all together! Take a look.

Courtney Wore Chanel Inspired?

Let me first say that I love the blog, What Courtney Wore. Courtney Kerr is very fashion forward and puts the class in Texas (I can say this because my husband is from Texas!) Anyone interested in fashion should check out her blog and her TV show, "Courtney Loves Dallas."

It should be mentioned that some photos have surfaced on Kerr's blog that show a new and fun Chanel Lego Phone case! A frenzy broke out with multiple questions on where she got her phone case. I just knew I had to have it. After some research and a trip to the Chanel store, I found out that it is Chanel Inspired...which in not so many words, means fake. 

Kerr has also taken the "inspired" phone case all the way to New York Fashion Week. Takes some guts if you ask me! Even though I love the phone case, I'm surprised that someone hasn't called this out yet. So to all the fans who wanted to know where to get it, one word: Etsy.

Red Valentino's Disney Side

Red Valentino is showing their "Disney Side!" As announced by Disney Style, Red Valentino is releasing a chic Snow White inspired Ready to Wear Fall/Winter 2014 collection. The collection showcases the "it" color of the season, Cobalt Blue, with a dash of Red and Yellow. Adding classic bows, stripes, and adorable clutches, Red Valentino has captured The Fairest One of All, Snow White, in a modern way (and not just by the Pop Art Andy Warhol inspired backgrounds.)
