2009 Favorite Comes Back for 2010

This year we were introduced to the perfect marriage of cool and comfort; jeans and leggings.  I thought I had died and gone to fashion heaven.  Even my husband was excited to see me watching Grey's Anatomy in "jeans" instead of my usual sweats.

The Veruca Salt favorite was the James Jeans "twiggy" by miles.  They are super comfy, hold up really well, and most importantly...make you look a whole size smaller!  If you don't have a pair already, the most classic color is the China Doll.  If you are already addicted, get on the waiting list for the unbelievable spring colors.

Keeping up with Kim

Whether you like her or not, Kim Kardashian has some great style and I love the way she wore this Van Halen T for a casual day out. http://www.shopverucasalt.com/

It's so comfy and perfect with leggings and a vest or with your favorite pair of jeans.  There are tour dates on the back too! 

Band Fan

I used to scour vintage shops for band t shirts.  They were always boxy, unflattering, mens shirts (those are the only ones you can find.)  Then I'd spend hours cutting and sewing to make them resemble something a woman could wear.  Chaser LA has finally answered my prayers and taken away the painstaking labor.  They've recreated vintage band t's in flattering womens shapes.  They are so comfy too!!!   Check out this AC/DC sweatshirt with tour dates on the back at http://www.shopverucasalt.com

Go Wild

This fall I'm seeing tons of animal prints and just love them. However, there is a dilemma that many people deal with including myself: "How do I wear animal prints without looking like I belong with the Real Housewives of New Jersey?"

The key is to tone down everything else. Make sure you go neutral with everything from make-up and nail polish to your shoes and other pieces. I love the combo of black skinny jeans with a flowy animal print top and a killer pair of boots. I'm also LOVING the animal pants and leather combo look. Shop it all http://www.shopverucasalt.com/

Denim Leggings

During the fall 2008 season I packed on more than a few lbs. and devoted myself to leggings. I decided jeans were so last year...mostly because I could fit into my jeans last year.

Good news: I shed the weight (kindof,) and jeans are back in a better form than ever. The best designers have fused our two favorite bottoms and voila Denim Leggings. They are super stretchy and make you look ridiculously skinny!!! I actually got 2 pairs in the same color because I wear them almost daily.

My favorite are the James Jeans twiggy in any color. Check them out http://www.shopverucasalt.com

Black is Back

Brown is the new black, grey is the new black, navy is the new black... sound like the past three years??? Not anymore. For the next few days I'll be highlighting some of my favorite trends for the fall season. Today we have simple and exciting news: Black is Back!

For those still suffering from the economy tumble this will really help: buy your basics and some other interesting peices in black and then accessorise like crazy. Remember, it's best to mix textures when wearing black on black.

Try this boho dress by Susana Monaco. You can wear it with flat boots by day and killer heels at night http://www.shopverucasalt.com
