At one time, I fancied myself quite the crafter. As a tween, I once hand-sewed myself a purse out of my dad’s old jeans. In high school, I cut many a pair of jorts* out of old pairs of jeans (t...
As I walked to work this morning, I had a minor panic attack. It’s not yet June, and the humidity and heat that greeted me as I walked down Broome Street was stifling. Temperatures in New York ...
Did you ever think you’d utter the phrase, “I think I need some navy blue jeans.” Well, I just did, and it surprised me. I think until a few months ago I didn’t even realize t...
Last week Jennine had the opportunity to travel to Singapore. She snapped some very cool street style photos while abroad, and I’m excited to share some of them with you on ESD over the coming ...
It must be obvious by now, but I my style almost always takes a serious lean towards the preppier side. I love the East Coast aesthetic of tailored cuts, tucked-in shirts, pearls, gingham and cable k...
Though much of this spring has felt like an early introduction to summer, it’s official start is finally coming this weekend. Memorial Day is always a welcome long weekend, even when the weathe...
By Ann of Holier than Now If you cast your mind back to December’s Denim Trends You’ll Possibly Love in 2012, denim overalls were on the hot list – and the adorable look that showed the potenti...
To me, the perfect pair of cutoff denim shorts is nearly as illusive as the perfect pair of skinny jeans. With so much bare skin on the line, they have to be really good. Like, you pull them on, look...
Last week I blogged about how much I enjoyed the way some of my favorite bloggers styled denim jackets and shirts with feminine skirts. I love the contrast of the very casual and laid-back look of a ...
There was quite the debate going on last week over Jenna Lyons and her perhaps-ill-fitting-if-not-dar ing dressed up denim at the Met Gala. If you thought that was extreme, then you may want to excuse...
In these times of trend-heavy denim collections, I often can’t decide how I feel about a certain trend. I have to let it marinate for a while before I can make a call. Floral denim, for example...
By Ann of Holier than Now In my thrifting and flea market hunts, I so often come upon vintage lace pieces that are beautiful but for a couple of stains. Don’t remind of how many eBay purchases-gone-b...
Happy Friday! I don’t know about you guys but this week has been a long one, and I’m very much looking forward to the weekend. I can’t wait to sleep in, go out to a late breakfast a...
Fashion has always been cyclical, but doesn’t it seem like lately the cycles are speeding up a bit? For example, the 1990′s were only about 20 years ago. I have a hard time unearthing tre...
If there’s one occasion where it seems like denim might be slightly out of place, it’s the red carpet of a major New York City event. However, if you’re Jenna Lyons, the President a...
Amongst all the color offerings in the world of denim that we’ve seen this season, peach and mint green have to be my favorites. The softness of the pastel hues and how well they pair with othe...
By Ann of Holier than Now I reached a certain somewhat ripe “old” age a few weeks ago, and although we know it ain’t nuthin but a number, I did have a certain shift in consciousness when it comes to ...
I had the chance to preview Paige Premium Denim‘s summer and fall collections a few months ago, and one of the upcoming styles I was the most excited about was their collaboration with Liberty ...
I posted recently about my desire to pair my boy jeans with bossy heels. Often times I wax philosophic on all these denim dreams I have – how I’ll wear them, all these amazing shoes IR...
Though March was a record-breaking month across the country as far as temperatures were concerned, things have started to cool a bit in this end-of-April start-of-May week. It’s drizzling and r...
I don’t want to spoil your morning or anything, but remember when wearing athletic cross-trainers and boot-cut jeans was a thing? Like, something that a lot of us wore? Just thinking about it m...
By Ann of Holier than Now So I had an unfortunate incident this weekend that involved fully throwing a perfectly good pair of jeans in the garbage. It involved someone aged 3 with a problem of the tu...
In the history of jeans that are just plain unflattering on everyone, boyfriend jeans hit the top of the list. Am I right? Sure, they look stylish, but really, jeans that don’t hug your body or...
I bet you never thought it would happen, but there’s an article of denim clothing I’ve never talked about before. Shoes. Yes, denim shoes. Before you roll your eyes and write me off as ta...
On that long and seemingly ever-growing list of denim I thought I’d never wear (floral jeans, carpenter jeans, velvet jeans), you can add pink jeans. I wore a pair of hot pink jeans on Valentin...
I don’t want to toot my own neighborhood’s horn too much, but all the most stylish and cool people seem to work in Soho. Some of them are strangers and some of them are people I know, too...
By Ann of Holier than Now Fact: I sort of hate a dressy jacket. I could live in my cargo jacket and/or my jean jacket, and I basically do. Throwing on these casual basics over an evening outfit alway...
I think if there were one item aside from jeans that I could live in for the rest of my life, it would be maxi dresses. I was hesitant and a little resistant when they first started to become trendy ...
If you ask me, mid or medium washes is like the spring of denim. As in, it’s transitional. When we’re between the dark denim of winter and the light and destroyed washes of the summer mon...
The first weekend of Coachella is already a memory (perhaps a hazy one, for those who were there), and the street style photos are now flooding our favorite magazine sites like ELLE.com and Harper...
