Bermuda Baby

Project Social T Scoop Tank / Calvin Klein Sports Bra /  Vintage Bermuda Jean Shorts / Platform Supergas / Arrow Necklace / Gorjana Ring via Rocksbox

I'm thinking it's some sort of combination of loving vintage, watching too many Friends episodes, and living in the lower east side that has me so drawn to 90s minimalism. I find myself constantly having a Monica or Rachel moment if you will ;) So when I found these BERMUDA shorts at my favorite vintage section at Pat Fields I just had to have them! Probably more epic than any of my mom jeans, these jean shorts take the 90s level up about a hundred notches. Bermudas have made a small comeback but I've never quite seen any pair like these. The complete mom fit, right above the knee length, and wash black color. PERFECTION.

Probably a scary feat to the normal shopper, I'm here to show you that bermudas CAN be done in a chic way. #1-- keep it minimal. I wore solely black and white with simple materials and shapes.  #2-- it's all about the shoe. Platform anything or sky high heels take the short to trendier/sexier place. Shop the links above to branch out of your comfort zone with the quintessential bermuda.

A New Flare

Ribbed Sleeveless Turtleneck / Long Sleeve Crop Top / Alexa Chung X AG Jeans / Tibi Mules / Handmade Square Ring / Outlette Rings

I immediately fell in love when I discovered these cropped flared jeans from Alexa Chung's collaboration with AG Jeans. An updated shape from the typical flare, these high-waisteds are definitely a new favorite for spring. I kept the look clean with what appears to be a black & white top but is actually a layered turtleneck and crop top! I chose structural mules finish things off, but these jeans would also be great with platforms or a classic pump. Shop my look above and try out the new flare.

Zara Top (similar)/ AGoldE Jeans / Prabal Gurung for Target Heels (similar) / Vintage Sunnies (similar) / Vintage Rings (similar) / Nars Lipstick

Black and White and Chic all over. This outfit is all about the updated classics. These are essential pieces you should have in your closet that will instantly "chic-up" any outfit. The white silk top, high-waisted black jeans, strappy heels, red lipstick, and a great pair of sunnies. Put them all together like I did or sprinkle them with other great pieces in your wardrobe. I love tucking my silk top into a short a-line skirt or pairing any of my crop tops with these high-waist black jeans. Strappy heels are great heels for a night out but you can also work them for day with boyfriend jeans and a tee. Click above to find out some of my favorites!
