The NEWEST Perfect-Fit Jeans for Autumn

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

It can be hard to find a pair of jeans that fit perfectly.  But with September approaching, you best be prepared with some new denim.  Some of my favorites for the upcoming season:

Kate Middleton wearing J BRAND 811 Mid-Rise Skinny Leg in Navy Twill.

 

J BRAND 811 Mid-Rise Skinny Leg  in aubergine (deep plum) is my newest pair for fall.

 

 

The new Mrs. Humphries wearing 7 For All Mankind Pocket Fit Flare Jeans.

One of the fall trends KNIT WIT and PLAGE TAHITI owner and head buyer Ann Gitter is talking about is bell bottom, boot cut jeans that are thin through the thighs. 

Like the J BRAND 1119 Bailey Jean.

Cameron Diaz in AG The Stilt jeans.  A lighter, distressed denim – great with flats!

 

All of these brands and many more amazing denim lines are available at KNIT WIT and PLAGE TAHITI.  Plus, the professional stylists at the stores will ensure you get the perfect fit from their endless selection!

 

Katie knows that every day there are ill-advised women who wear denim all wrong.  Let’s learn from their mistakes.

Two-Sizes Too-Small: the dreamer.  I don’t care how much it may pain you to look at the size on the tag, do not buy a small pair of jeans just to feel better about your waistline.  Katie knows you should buy the right size instead of your dream size (and the “right size” is different for all of us).

Oh-No Too-Low: the delusional.  I don’t care how hot you think you look, if I can see any part of your stomach rolling across the top of your jeans you’ve made a major life mistake.  Katie knows that low-rise jeans are not for everyone.  All women have a natural waistline: flatter it!

Ye Old Jeans: the outdated.  I don’t care if they still fit after a decade, if your fav jeans are as old as Justin Bieber, it’s time to retire them.  Katie knows that denim is a classic trend, but the shades, shapes and styles fluctuate.  Not to mention after washing and wearing for years, jeans will shrink.  Unless you’re a freak of nature, your waistline is probably doing the opposite.

 

 

Kisses,

Katie

Pippa’s Perfect Style

Wednesday, July 6th, 2011

Pippa, Pippa, Pippa: we adore thee. Katie knows if you want to copy the fashions of the most famous sister-in-law in the world, you’ll need to follow some easy rules.
  1. Keep It Simple: solids over patterns
  2. Cover The Girls: no cleavage
  3. Stick to the Classics: styles that never die

 

If you like Pippa’s white dress, you’ll love Catherine Malandrino’s Sleeveless Crochet Dress in Blanc. It has a crochet overlay and an attached lightweight knit underlay slip.

 

London is a bit cooler than the Delaware Valley in the summer, so Pippa has been rocking some long sleeves and pants recently. I love how she plays with feminine, neutral tones.



To copy this look in warmer temps, try Brochu Walker’s Nude Silk Ruched Tank paired with Adriano Goldschmied’s The A.C.U. Patch Pocket Capri in Supply.

Katie knows you can’t go wrong in jeans, a bright top and a blazer. Pippa is classically chic here, but a boot-cut or slightly flared jean would have done this outfit better.


I recommend the J Brand Dark Vintage Love Story Bell Bottom Jean with Elizabeth and James’ Black Satin E-Roz Lace Up Bootie. 


Add a bright top and this amazing black blazer from 3.1 Phillip Lim and you’ll look Pippa-perfect.



Pippa has a knock-out body and this wrap dress is gorgeous on her. 


Katie knows you can copy this look with Diane von Furstenberg’s Deianira Long Sleeve Wrap Print Dress in Greek Blue.

Wanna dress like Pippa?  Visit KNIT WIT + PLAGE TAHITI or shop online to get these awesome pieces!

 
Kisses,

Katie
