Rock Star Jeans

Hudson

I may be too old to rock these jeans now, but I love them anyway. Hudson 5-pocket skinny jeans with bits of the Union Jack peeking through. Definitely rock-star worthy! Doesn't look like they are even in stores yet, but will post when they are.


Notify
These snake-print skinny jeans ($330) from Notify have the look of leather, but the comfort of a jean. With boots or a pair of killer heels these would be fabulous to rock the night away.

Mellow Yellow

Mustard yellow pants are in for Fall and I have to say they are growing on me. They look great paired with grey or other neutrals. Here's a few styles to choose from right now.

Gap Stretch Cords

These colorful gap cords ($39.50) in gelded gold are made with spandex for a comfy fit. Sit below the waist with slim fit through hip and thigh. Pants also come in other colors like tangerine and bright pink as well as neutrals.

APC

These Zip Petit Standard cords from APC ($300) come in yellow and strawberry. With narrow leg, slightly fitted at bottom to give the appearance of a straight leg

J. Crew

The vintage matchstick cords in gold are now in sale for only $19.99. The straight, narrow leg is perfect with flats or tucked into boots. Pants have a a hint of stretch for the perfect fit.

Uncommon Scents

I am a huge fan of Kiehl's essential oil perfumes ($25) with rollerball applicator. My favorite is Amber, but they are also available in Musk, Vanilla, Coriander and Grapfruit and a few others.

These are vintage scents from the original pharmacy that they have brought back. Most of them could be worn by either men or women.

Available at kiehls.com.

Lounge Pants

I just picked up a pair of Phillip Lim silk lounge pants at deep discount from Jeremy's in San Francisco. These baggy charmeuse silk pants are cropped and feature side pockets and a drawstring waist.

I'm so excited to mix these into my fall/winter wardrobe with heels and a boyfriend blazer or a belted cardigan. I may just live in them they are so comfortable.

A cream colored version of these pants is available at mytheresa.com for $319. Or, you may be able to find them at a discounts elswhere on the web.

Fab Flannel

I blogged about B'Sbee clothing months ago when I had picked up the most fab men's flannel shirt for myself. I literally live in this shirt when I'm at home. It's the softest, snuggly flannel and comes in this amazing color combo of olive green and bright blue. I bought a men's small for myself, but this shirt would be great for that man in your life as well.

This shirt is now available on yoox.com for $109. That is how much I paid during a 50% off sale in the winter so definitely a good buy.

The Eze Sur Mer Commune Top ($110) is another great flannel that I am sure would become a wardrobe staple.
What's cool about this shirt is that the back has little buttons to keep the waist nipped in. Available in purple as shown as well as navy blue. You can find these shirts at shopplanetblue.com.

Southwestern Jewelry

Turquoise is my birthstone and I love big chunky jewelry so I was ecstatic to find this website with a treasure trove of vintage and new southwestern jewelry. Here's a few of my favorite pieces from the site or visit http://www.southwesternjewelry.net/ to see the full inventory of great pieces.

I love this contempory Navajo bracelet with a deep green Armenian turquoise stone ($850). An unusual color for turquoise with flecks of copper running through it. I like the dramatic simplicity of the silver setting.

This vintage Navajo concho was reshaped and set on a piece of saddle leather ($550) making it a blend of old and new. Has a buckle fastener so it can be adjusted to fit different size wrists.


This vintage coral and turquoise ring ($225) has a very modern and unusual setting. Looks like it could have been crafted by a contempory artist. Navajo made in size 7 1/2.

I ♥ Ronson

Who knew that JCPenny had gotten so hip? Their I 'Heart' Ronson line has several cute pieces at really great price points. Most of the pieces are less than $40!

The pegged pants ($29.99) in grey are tempting, but I wouldn't order online without knowing how they fit.



I will try out this ruffled peacock blouse ($29.99) with a slit neck in polyester. Love the color palette, hopefully the fabric is wearable!
