Denim Days are Here!


James Twiggy Jegging
The weather is changing, leaves are are starting to fall, and it's time to start living in your jeans!

We love denim being our staple for Fall. There are so many different washes, styles, and even denim alternatives to choose from! Here's a run down of some of the best of the best for Fall denim!


1.) Jeggings- A new term (look it up in the dictionary, it's there!), a combination of "denim" and "leggings". This supersoft material with the classic 5 pocket denim look is perfect with flats, and tucks into boot seamlessly, with no fuss! James Jeans Twiggy and Citizens of Humanity Avedons are some of our favorites. They come in tons of colors, too!
2.) Trouser- Casual Friday can be hip and sophisticated! Trouser cut denim is popular, especially in a dark wash like the Ginger from Seven or the Hutton from Citizens of Humanity. Pair with a button up shirt, or make throw on a fur vest and some sky high heels! These are a good alternative to dress pants.
3.) Skinny/Straight- The new classic, the ones no fashion conscious individual can live without (boys too, these days!). Tuck them into boots, wear with an oversized sweater. This make for an oversized look on top, and a sleek look on the bottom. Great proportions can make an outfit! Our favorites include 12" Skinny from J Brand in Ink and Seven Straight Leg in Dark Vintage. Choose from grey, to black, to indigo blue, it's up to you!
4.) Denim Alternatives- Jeans have evolved. Your favorite brands are now offering ponte and cargo styles. With the trusted denim fit, it's the perfect way to jazz up your fall wardrobe. Try skinny fit cargos from Seven and James. The Gweneviere from Seven in black Ponte is a great basic to wear back with boots.
Resin denim is a new arrival to Uniquities. Their forward fit and deep dyed mechanic inspired washes are a fresh new take. True Religion still there with a tried and true bootcut with their signature pocket and basting stitching.
Of course, we want to know how you are wearing your denim! Are you pairing it with a cozy sweater, or a dolman tee? Or are you jacket obsessed and pair your denim accordingly?

Lessons in Lacquer...

Nail color and polishes have come a long way. No longer are the options limited to red, pink, purple, and clear.
Fashion has taken nail color under it's wing and is now considered a viable accessory. Everyone from Chanel, YSL, and new comers Essie and Butter of London have made nail polish chic again.

This season, picking out your polish is almost as important as picking out your clothes! Here's a few of our favorite trends in polish this Fall:


Browns and Nudes


We are loving this Little Brown Dress from Essie. The whole fall collection is a great mix of subdued tones.
















Mink Muffs from Essie is a carryover color from last year that look good on everyone! It's a great way to update your nail color without being too outrageous.

Metallics
Heavy metals are more sophisticated these days, try one as a top coat over a regualr color for a little shimmer. Dior in Black Sequins is a favorite! YSL gets into the game too, with gold shimmer and a lacquered plum.

Have fun this season with fashion's newest accessory!

What's the color you can't live without this season? We'd love to hear!
