I think I mentioned in a previous post that these White 7FAM Distressed Jeans will be making some major repeat performances this Spring & Summer---I absolutely LOVE them!  With that in mind, I wanted to show a couple of casual ways to brighten up the white.  Both casual & comfy, either look is perfect for shopping, lunch, days with the kiddos, what have you.  I just love how the white is the perfect canvas for color---speaking of Color, Rachel from Pencil Shavings Studio states she's, "Never met a color she didn't like."  Well said my dear!  I am addictively drawn to her fun pieces be they a tablet case, phone cover, or paper goods---with that in mind, I just had to share the love with you all---we've done a Lucite Tray Giveaway before & well gang, we're gonna do one again!!  Just another way to celebrate tomorrow's anniversary/bday & say Thank You, I am giving away a lucite tray from Pencil Shavings Studio to one s + s reader!  See some of my faves below as well as entry rules:

Derby Blue

For us Kentuckians, this is a wonderful time of year.  The horse races are in full swing at Keeneland which can only mean one thing....The Kentucky Derby is right around the corner.  Now look, many a spectator is in it for the races; however, I am a horse of a different color (so bad, right, but how could I resist that pun).  For me, the Derby is all about the fashion!  What with the glamourous hats & the lady like dresses--it is a fashion spectator's dream.  While I am loving the idea of a minimal stripe paired with a peplum (clearly, as I paired a very similar Look Last Year) , don't steer clear of vibrant hues or even florals.  My gal Danielle of Lou What Wear is basically giving it to us live from Churchill Downs---she is doing a series this whole month illustrating different frocks that suit the different areas of the track--I am so loving this! Also, the lovely ladies over at AJs Casuals can outfit your look from head to toe--gorgeous dresses, fascinators, & hats galore! Even if you're not visiting the Bluegrass State for the races this year, throw a little soiree in honor of the horses---what better excuse to get all dolled up Southern Style!  Make it a good one, gang!

Nets & Nanette

 dress (Nanette Lepore, AJs Casuals, Lexington or non-Kentuckians Here), coat (Banana Republic, similar below), belt (Gap),  tights (Commando or affordable options at Target), shoes (Charles Jourdan), tote (Gucci) ring (Lagos), watch (Cartier), shades (colors in optiCS)

If I was to describe this ensemble to you without having seen it, you may be quite alarmed or think I'm turning tricks downtown.  Lace, fishnets, cherry red--sounds um, tacky--yes?  Well hardly, as this little Nanette Lepore number is about as darling as darling gets--thank you AJs Casuals!  Add a subtly patterned tight & a classic red coat, and you've got yourself a pretty timeless look.  Speaking of timeless, I am in the market for a new black tote.  Granted, I love this Gucci as it has stood the test of time...but I'm getting a little antsy and well frankly, I've been a pretty good gal this year, Santa!  I am open to any suggestions--currently pondering the lovelies below (as well as some lovely red coat options for y'all).  Also, take a gander at my current craves located to the left.  Finally...big thanks for all of your sweet comments regarding My Brood's Video....Make it a good one!
