Jeans that Make Me Feel Like Some Botticelli Chick

There is something magical in finding jeans that fit perfectly. This is absolutely a woman thing, men (if you're even here reading this). Why is it so hard to find great jeans? You'd think that after my last post on the subject this search for a repeat win would have been obvious — "just buy the same type as last time, Olga!" — but no. I ventured into the land of boyfriend jeans for months and came back a complete novice when it came to the perfect skinny fit. That is until AG Jeans caught wind of my deep admiration on their fit and kindly gifted me what is now my absolute favorite everyday-pair of jeans.

A favorite pair of jeans must achieve two important things: a) stretch to fit my butt perfectly without weird draping in the seams and closures, b) make me feel slim and confident. This is exactly what the legging ankle does. If I have 10 minutes to get dressed, these are what I reach for because just fit.  Also, I'm 5'3" and I love when an ankle jean keeps its promise about its length, too. I highly recommend these. Go get a euphoric high, pose in front of a beautiful bay waterfront and report back please. I promise you will not be disappointed. 

Isabel Marant Cocoon Phase

In typical Isabel Marant fashion, this runs extremely large. So if you're 5'3" like me, you'll want to size way down. Don't worry, it'll still have an oversized, cocoon fit. (Mine's a size 34, for reference).

Shop it here, here, and here.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Love the severity an all white look can have, especially when it's accented with such a malicious looking ox blood red. I'm opening my mind to the options of white jeans, and that's all due to Isabel Marant. The off-white base and the piping on the side (not to mention the western pockets in the back), makes it a little more curvy friendly. Love Rochas and their shoes. They always look like a school girl's uniform shoes but a lot more luxurious. The Diego coat in an oxblood tweed is a sweet find this morning, but alas, it is sold out in my size. You will want to size down in this jacket, especially if you're 5'3" like me, but the effects of this oversized, very French sexy looking jacket is worth it.

TRENDING: Bordeaux, Bordeaux, Bordeaux

Surprisingly enough, it seems like the "It" color for fall 2011 is bordeaux. At first it seems a little old and stuffy, but really getting into the offerings from designers for fall, you start to really get a sense that this old-school color is now modern.

How would I wear it? With an Étoile Isabel Marant bicolor knit (I'm OBSESSED, with bicolor knits this fall), and a pair of cropped bordeaux cords from Étoile Isabel Marant as well.  I like how the grey, black, and mulled wine color play off each other in a youthful way. Play it up with patent Repetto flats in said hot color and a shiny manicure in, what else?, Essie's Bordeaux #12.

Coolest of all? The necklace, by Eddie Borgo. I'm in love with Eddie Borgo...as you'll see later today.
