10 Things In Fashion We're Grateful For: #9 & #8

OMG what would we DO without denim? From days of being stretched over cowboy's saddles to it's current wear-it-with-everything couture trend, denim is a fabric that has earned it's place in the annals of style! I live in it upwards of 50% of the time and clearly, so do the KO's and Divas. It's practical, wears well and switches gears from boho to rocker to city-girl without a moment's pause (for those times when you have to go from day to date with 5 minutes to change). It's perfect for a walk to the beach or a photoshoot...or a photoshoot while walking to the beach;) .  It pairs as well with a tee as with a blazer, and as well with boots as high heels. In fact, it's as close to a do-it-all fabric as you can get. And that is why it's a fabric we're soooo grateful for!  Dear Denim, love you!!

Can you imagine being a chic gal three hundred years ago, before the ponytail was commonly worn by women? What on earth would you do with your hair, while rushing to catch your carriage after yoga class? It's wicked hard to pin it all in place on the run ;) Thank goodness this style was appropriated from men's fashion - it's the perfect in-between, not up, not down look. Originally a strictly casual style, more formal versions have been created so we can now wear the ponytail for everything from the gym to the prom. It can add sleek polish, cutesy femininity or classic chic to a look, depending on where and how you style it. Hurrah for the ponytail!
