Denim Days

Denim isn't always the easiest fabric to wear. It's not very flexible, so you don't often see it in dress form. This DVF dress, however, is denim, daring and fabulous. 

Outfit Details

Dress: Diane von Furstenberg D-Ring Denim Belted Fit and Flare Dress (sold out)

The overall cut is very figure flattering, and the added belt helps showcase your curves. Plus, it has pockets!

You will also notice the vertical stitching. It draws the eye and helps elongate your frame, making you look taller and thinner. I love that every stitch is deliberate, with a purpose in mind to help the wearer look her best.

Shoes: Valentino Rockstud Crisscross d'Orsay Pumps

I still am so in love with these shoes. Gold + Valentino + Studs = A Shoe Addict's Dream Come True!

As Seen on TV!

Jane, on Jane the Virgin, wore the dress in green last season!

Looking for Valentino

I can't tell you how long I have wanted a pair of Valentine Rockstud pumps, and I finally have them! I was so excited to slip them on this morning. 

Dress: Alice and Olivia Leslie Floral Tie-Neck Silk Dress

Shoes: Valentino Rockstud Crisscross d'Orsay Pumps in Gold

I really love pairing the hard with the soft, so that's why I love these pumps so much with this feminine, floral dress.

The shoes are no longer available, but try eBay! You can also get the more traditional Rockstud design in gold at Bergdorf Goodman, or try this ankle strap pair at Neiman Marcus.

Weekend Update

Chapin and I had a busy weekend!

The weekend started off on a great note, as I placed second in my age group in the Vinings Downhill 5K. It was my first time running the race, and though it was NOT all downhill -- there were actually quite a few hills -- it was still a lot of fun.

My time was just over 23 minutes, so I'm proud of myself for pushing so hard. I normally don't run that fast.

Here are a few photos from the event. I love seeing the ones that make it look as if I'm flying.

We also saw some lovely friends for lunch at Muss and Turner's. We love seeing our dear friend, Laura, and her family anytime they come to Atlanta.
