Classic Denim

 


Denim is an American staple in fashion. What started out as worker's industrial wear reinforced with copper rivets and made popular during the California Gold Rush of the mid 19th century, brands like San Francisco founded Levi's has been producing denim for all age groups and numerous generations. But did you know denim is originally French fashion? The fabric known today as denim was originally made in a small French town called Nimes <pronounced neem>.  If one were to say this hard wearing fabric is from Nimes you would say "de Nimes".  Say this 5 times fast and you can well understand the rebranded name.

Well over 150 years old and in no signs of dropping out,

Puff Puff Party

 


The hottest winter fashion piece this season is the puffer jacket and/or coat. While these have been around for decades, now they are available in velvet, iridescence and super shine patent. The link below are some examples from 'Forever21' store. Excellent as a holiday gift to your BFF!





Year Of The Shoulder



















This is the year of the shoulder, history always repeats its self especially with fashion.  First the 1930's with sharp severe shoulder pads for men and women, then the 1970's with big hair and now 2019. I don't know if I am ready for big hair and tri-colored jelly bean colored eye shadow yet but I guarantee you TALLBlonde will have fun. You should too-

When ever I visit the Upper West Side of Manhattan, I always check out what is new at KES.  The clean but elegant lines of clothing, bags and shoes in the window are eye catching and always breath-taking. These designs are so spectacular and right on point to what women want today the pre-order collection sells out before landing on the street.

Scrounge Garage Sales

Recently TALL Blonde was inspired by a Chanel magazine photo that presented a denim jacket with a string of pearls and a big white camelia brooch at the top button, as if to be worn as a blouse and not outerwear.

I gathered up every pin I could find in my collection, laid my Target jacket on the floor and began placing pins for the best layout. Pins are easy to find; craft shops, garage sales, antique fairs, thrift shops and of course online in places like Etsy and Ruby Lane. Yoiu can collect pins one by one or in your search look for "lots" and buy several at a time and give your project a running jump.

You may want to think about curating your brooch collection within a theme, such as flowers, hearts, animals, singular color, rhinestone, enamel, white or yellow metal, etc.

TALL Blonde plans to add to this collection an cover the front of the jacket as a show piece.
