Dear Diane

Diane von Furstenberg has been collaborating with one of my favourite jeans brands Current Elliot. I really like the video made by Gia Coppola, which isn't too much about fashion but still is...:



Ah, the writer's block: my last one was during writing my final thesis for university...

I really like some of the jeans DvF has been creating with Current Elliot.

I'm just not sure which one would flaunt my wardrobe. I know black/white is the safest option, but if I go for happy hawaiian florals, I should go for the happy mint, right?

Anyway, you get get them at shopbop who has this cute lookbook featuring other DvF items.

But they're still quite expensive for $250 which is a bit drastic for a jeans that might last 2 seasons, stylewise.

My attempt to be cheap...

Sorry if the title raises high expectations but today it's about pants again.

I like some of the expensive cult-ones I ventured upon in 2011 but some are actually rather standard, if not worse than the cheapies...Both Current Elliot and J. Brand loose their shape after 1 day, leaving  my skinny jeans looking baggy.

So I went back to my cheap habit and bought some Motel Rocks...with a name like Motel, you cannot expect your pants to be expensive, right?

for anyone that likes to see the inside of my pants...

Not only cheap, but I even scored it on sale at Asos for a mere 19 pounds..


Polka dot pleasure...am I being really unfashion now?

Not quite, look at the next-season Current/Elliot range over here:

Beware, girl with hips on the next picture: (wearing the Motel Rocks, instagrammed)

Ok, I skipped the hip-part because sometimes it feels like 'look, I have a V' kind of picture...Which I have, but I believe 3 billion other women are with me on having a V, so I cannot face the fact that I really want to boast about having one...

Overal, they stay rather fitted for a longer period and I took the right size. They are not as jeans-y as the Current's, and yes, I like my Currents so I even will upgrade my polka-dotted habit into buying the Current's in the future.

But for now the cheapies will do just fine...

The Elfin

It's yellow, it's mellow and it's tight...so what is it?

It's my FAB  new purchase and I don't even look fat/chubby in it...

Ok, after my recent Proenza-mishap I reasoned I had some money left (huh?) for a new purchase. So this time I knew I needed something pastel coloured for the SS 2012 season.

Well, I got the girly reasoning going on that pastel-legs isn't really skinnifying, but I took the plunge anyway. My style-inspiration came from the incredibly gorgeous Flavya from fashioncoolture.com/br. I really seem dig the style and the aesthetics of Brazilian women:

The only thing about Current/Elliot's is that you have to get them really tight in order to have a perfect fit after a couple of moments. I can drop 3 sizes compared with a European Pepe jeans.
Now I need to work the look in the classic way that Flavya did above. It is good to know you can wear these in a colourful, quirky way with a funny hat, or go classic and sleekly Brazilian with a sharp clutch, cuffs and some killer heels

They are still on sale at mywardrobe.com for 80 euro and if you look good you can even get 10% off the sale with a discount. (I think SALE10 still works)
