Denim’s New Trend: Barrel Leg Jeans

March 9, 2020

Denim trends change all the time.  And honestly, I love it.  I wear jeans more than anything else and love experimenting with different styles.

The 80s and 90s have played a huge role in the types of denim trends we’re seeing now.  Hello, Mom jeans.  We’re also moving away from skinny jeans in favor of a true straight leg.

The newest take on straight leg jeans is a high waist, cropped style that tapers at the ankle.  Barrel jeans and balloon jeans are super flattering because they elongate the legs. While skinny jeans draw attention to your hips, barrel leg jeans even out the ratio from hip to ankle.

I love the stitching and wash on this pair, but they also come in lots of other washes and colors.

If you’re looking for a more 90s inspired style, try balloon leg jeans.  These tend to be longer in length and wider through the leg, so if you have long legs, definitely give them a try (or be prepared to wear heels or platforms).  I tried these on over the weekend and adored them.  Be sure to go up one size.

Cropped sweaters and tops are an ideal pairing with these jeans because of the high waist.  I paired my Naadam cashmere sweater (on sale for $100!) with these babies (you MUST check out the brand – read my review here).

Oh, and I got a new handbag.  Teehee.

Your Top 5 Favorites – January 2020

February 14, 2020

Last year I started a monthly series that shares your Top 5 Favorite products.  These are the things you loved the most over the course of one month.  Your most purchased, searched for and talked about.
1 and 2) Straight-leg denim

In a recent What I’m Coveting, I shared my favorite straight leg jeans.  Numbers 1 and 2 on your favorites list were these affordable and mid-range pairs.

I love the cropped length and slightly tapered leg both pairs offer.  You can easily pair them with ankle boots or flats.  I wear mine with tennis shoes all the time and they still look chic.  The wash options are endless.  Although they both are 100% cotton, they run TTS.

3) Cashmere sweater

In January I talked about the affordable cashmere brand you need to know.  They had an amazing 50% off sale, and you guys took advantage.

Besides being ethically sourced (their goats live in a protected space in Mongolia and their fleece is hand-combed), they offer great pricing.

This cropped sweater and this loungewear set were my sale scores.  I’ve worn both a ton.  The good news is that they are running another sale – 20% off two items!  Below are my picks from the sale.

4) Crossbody bag

My weekend packing list highlighted an affordable crossbody bag you guys loved.  It comes in 5 colors and is $125 – a great price for a leather handbag.  The best part is the long strap which can be carried as a crossbody or over the shoulder.  So essential while traveling or running errands!

5) White eyelet dress

This dress was a Nuuly rental score.  I ended up purchasing the short version in black, but the long version is the perfect beach vacation dress.  Pair it with a straw hat and flat, lace-up sandals this summer for an incredibly chic look.

My favorite part is that it’s super comfortable and can be worn during the day or dressed up for night.
