"Always Skinny" from 1969 Gap Jeans. $49.50
I bought the Saturated Dark Wash, but am obsessed with the Destructed Jeans and Destructed Jeans with buttons (see above, gap.com). So, for some amazing reason, these jeans are new and on sale! When purchasing in the store, you receive a cupon card. After purchasing three pairs of these jeans and getting your card stamped (within the year), you get a fourth pair free. Ahhh, recession specials...
These jeans are phenomenal because they are NOT low cut-no love handles when wearing these bad boys ;) I suggest going down a size unless you are one of those clean freaks who washes their jeans after every single wear...they do strech out.
"Tri-Blend Racerback Tank" from American Apparel. $19
I bought the Tri-Orchid (as seen above, www.americanapparel.net) and the Athletic-Grey. What I really should have done is buy them in each color. Last night I wore the Orchid with my new 1969 Dark Wash jeans and it looked great. The bright Orchid color is almost at the "neon" color that is a must have this season, without actually being tacky and blinding...it's just bright enough! I suggest wearing these tanks with skinny jeans, ripped up light jean shorts, or even tucked in to a baggy pair of pants or shorts. They're so casual but when worn correctly can pull off the "I rolled out of bed and look this great naturally" look perfectly. Add jewelry and make your makeup/hair look good and you'll come off a lot more polished than you would think!
Fedora, can get it anywhere, any color. I got mine from Scoop-it was the perfect fit and around $90.
Jessica Alba is literally fedora-obsessed. Every color to go with every outfit. Wear to the beach or shopping. I suggest a side braid as the go-to fedora hairstyle. For the fall you may want to go for a darker color or a different material, maybe try a "felt-like" one, but make sure it's not tacky!
Products
Kiehl's Sunflower Color Preserving Deep Recovery Pak, $25
There really isn't much to say except, it's a literal steal. It's a leave-in conditioning treatment which not only makes your hair exceptionally silky-smooth, but it smells amazzzzzing too. For anyone that color treats their hair and has had their colorist tell them "YOUR HAIR WILL START TO FALL OUT IF YOU DON'T USE RECOVERY TREATMENTS" (I've been warned many-a-time), this is a product you should buy. Done.
Sugar Lemon Eau du Parfum, $25 & Sugar Lychee Candle, $48. Both by Fresh
These two scents are amazing. So fresh (no pun intended) and very light. I used to detest candles but have recently become obsessed. The scent is so clean-smelling and perfect when you just need to detox and have a relaxing night.
And lastly, a complete non-sequitur
The 500 Days of Summer Soundtrack, $13.99
Sweet Disposition by Temper Trap is so amazing, especially during the scenes it's played in. Some other great songs from Feist, The Smiths, and Regina Spektor are on the CD. I know this blog isn't about music or movies but this movie is perfect and the soundtrack really makes it that much better. My #1 non-fashion or travel suggestion is to go see 500 Days of Summer and then purchase the CD.
