text: Coquette: 26 posts from May 2011
  I re-accessed my closed this weekend and vowed not to wear so much black. It's all about brights! (Right?) I bought some cute tees and tops at H&M yesterday that would look great in warm weather. Too bad it's been rainy and will probably rain all week here in San Francisco. I look look of colored jeans a trend I have been following with the fashion bloggers lately and was recently mentioned by Cathy Horn in the NY Times. It's been mostly about the red jeans but honestly, I'm in love with royal blue and yellow.
  My two favorites are the J Brand Mid Rise Skinny Leg Jeans ($176 at Piperlime) for it's bright blue and J Brand Mid Rise Skinny Leg Jeans for the perfect shade of yellow.
  I also love the look of these J Brand Cropped Capri pants in pink ($165 at J Brand). You can find more colored jeans in lots of amazing shades on the JBrand web site.
  Here are more colored jeans from other brands:
  Blue Essence Eliot Skinny Denim Jeans ($88 at Nordstrom)
  Current/Elliot Skinny Stretch Ankle Jeans in Ultramarine ($168 at Nordstrom)
  Current/Elliot The Ankle Skinny Jeans in Dahlia ($168 at Shopbop)

  There's nothing quite like lace and I love this Horkelia Shift ($178 at Anthropologie) that looks fresh in bright orange while giving a nod to vintage style. Lace can look great for a dressed up afternoon or even casually at the beach!
  Here are more lace fashions:
  Alice + Olivia Wendy Lace Blouse ($297 at Shopbop)
  Jen's Pirate Booty French Lace Caftan ($297 at Shopbop)
  With A Twist Tank ($78 at Anthropologie)
  Bosky Lace Skirt ($118 at Anthropologie)
  Oaxaca Skirt ($158 at Anthropologie)
  Lavished Lace Bracelet ($228 at Anthropologie)
  I wouldn't buy this at this price (ahh!) but it is such great inspiration for a DIY project!

  Knee-Length Denim Skirts

  Gwyneth Paltrow recently showed off in London a great denim look with her mid-length Stella McCartney denim skirt ($515 at Net-A-Porter). This mid-length denim look is also featured in her latest GOOP newsletter on Spring Basics. The knee-length is classic and yet also a fresh step away from the last few years of thigh-grazing mini skirts. I love how Gwyneth has dressed up her look with high-heeled booties but you could easily pair it with flat sandals or ballet flats.
  Here are more of my picks for stylish denim skirts:
  Style & Co Denim Skirt (On sale for $32.99 at Macy's)
  DKNY Jeans Skirt ($59 at Macy's)
  Perfect Denim Pencil Skirts ($29.50 at Old Navy)
  CJ by Cookie Johnson Unity Skirt ($185 at Nordstrom)
