Looks like we found another fan of the jegging craze! Jessica Alba was spotted wearing Black Orchid's denim leggings in their Thunder wash, pairing the denim with tons of layers and big, all-weather boots. You would never know by looking, but these jeans are incredibly stretchy and feature an elastic waist. We don't suggest showing off the waist, instead travel the same layered road Alba took by sporting oversized knits or a big jacket. Alba also makes another point in the pro-jegging craze, these leggings are simply the best if you want a look that requires tucking your jeans into boots. You'll never worry about bunchiness again!

Never thought you'd don a prim khaki skirt or step into a pair of oxfords? Me neither, but my inner prep can't help but sing over the cute, clean-cut styles I'm finding this season! Chambray shirts, nautical-inspired stripes, dainty scarves, cardigans—can you hear the country club calling? And I'm loving how ladies do the preppy thing mixed with a bit of edge, adding a fur vest, a skinny belt, or even statement jewelry so as to say 'I'm proper, but don't expect to see me at Cotillion."

I was so happy when I got asked by the people of REVOLVE to pick something of choice from REVOLVEclothing.com and after spending some good time strolling through the various brands, designers and trends I just had to go for something involving florals again, I have to say that for a long time I was luring after all the cropped tees and cropped pants but I simply couldn't resist the Free People throwback romper. I love the bohemian vibe and It's so easy and comfortable to wear and I could totally visualize myself standing between Meadows and wildflowers... Hmmmmm Summer... But it isn't Summer yet so I decided to give the REVOLVEclothing gift a slight retro "little house on the prairie" feel by wearing a vintage blouse underneath it with lace socks and Chloe platforms.
I'm wearing; Vintage Blouse, Free People throwback floral romper from REVOLVEclothing, Chloe platforms, lace socks.
When did you start writing your blog? Why did you decide to start a blog?
I started my Blog in April 2009, I was already posting outfits on sites like Chictopia and got comments asking if I had a Blog and opened one out of curiosity. Initially I wanted to showcase my inspirations, moodboards, collages and ideas but was working as a Fashion Trend Forecaster at the time, where I was hired to do all these things exclusively for the company I worked for and had to showcase my inspirations in another way. The blog evolved into a personal style blog.
Do you have any fashion icons or heroes?
I?m really inspired by other bloggers and really inspired by people with an effortless style like Kate Moss and Chloe Sevign
Do you look to any specific inspiration when getting your outfits together? (movies, music, books, etc.)
I really like to think in Colors, Textures and Moods, most of the time I first decide a color before I make an outfit!
How would you describe your personal style?
My style is most of the time romantic with pastels, flowers, and girly feminine dresses combined with Grungy details and items like rough boots, hats, vintage jackets with little or no make-up and out-of-bed-hair but I?m always into experimenting and don?t take fashion too seriously.
Where do you find most of your clothes?
I?m actually not a big spender on clothing, I shop a lot of H&M, TopShop and Vintage but I do like to invest in well made pieces when it comes to leather goods and shoes.
Do you have any favorite designers?
It really depends on the season but right now its definitely Miu Miu
What is your current fashion obsession?
Florals, Platforms, Clogs and shoes worn with socks, Patterned tights
What are you up to these days, aside from blogging?
I?m really into Photography and Traveling and started working on designing clothing and tights again.

Alexander Wang Tank. BB Dakota skirt. House of Harlow Thin Stack Ring in Rose Gold. Dolce cardigan. Aldo platform pumps. REVOLVEclothing houses so many of my favorite labels and opens a window of inspiration with just one click of my mouse. When I first heard that they were fans of my blog, I was left completely flattered. I'm a fan of the way they piece the clothing on their site into bona fide exciting wear. At first I felt daunted with the task of picking out some items to model on my blog. So many designers, collections and just plain cool pieces. It was so hard to choose! I finally sought some help from my friend and fellow shopping enthusiast Stephanie. Two heads are better than one. She single-handedly picked out the skirt I'm wearing, saying it reminded her of what "The leggy twenty somethings would wear" such as Whitney Port, Olivia Palermo, Alexa Chung (and myself). With its exposed zipper set in pretty peach and deep plumb tiered layers, I fell head over heels. To add to the lot, I opted for a delicately soft Alexander Wang racer back tank in grey (Stephanie has one too) and a new piece of jewelry in the form of a delicate ring by Nicole Richie. I also picked out a MINK PINK sleeveless chambray dress. I hope the sun comes out to play soon, I cannot wait to bask in the Vitamin D-enriched light with it on this spring!
When did you start writing your blog? Why did you decide to start a blog?
January 2008. I wanted a place to share my style, inspirations and fashionable musings on. I also wanted to meet people who liked fashion like me, who I could talk to.
Do you have any fashion icons or heroes?
Audrey Hepburn. Mary-Kate Olsen (for her fun bohemia) and Ashley Olsen for her classic "je ne sais quoi?"
Do you look to any specific inspiration when getting your outfits together? (movies, music, books, etc.)
Definitely. I love to see what my favorite models and celebrities are wearing (off-duty style is my favorite) as well as keeping up on the latest fashion magazines. Movies, music, art and nature all inspire me as well.
How would you describe your personal style?
Classic with an old fashioned, whimsical twist and add a dash of 90's grunge. I like to play dress up, every day is a chance to play the role of a different girl.
Where do you find most of your clothes?
I love to shop online sites like: Nordstrom, REVOLVEclothing, Shopbop, and Saks. I also tend to mix and match vintage with items from shops such as: Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, H&M American Apparel and Topshop.
Do you have any favorite designers?
I'm heavily into Proenza Schouler, Dolce & Gabbana and Missoni at the moment. Soft materials decorated in strong patterns.
What is your current fashion obsession?
Platforms will always hold a special place in my heart.
What are you up to these days, aside from blogging?
I love to write (creative writing and entertainment reviewing are my favorite) reading, riding my bike, playing tennis, spending time with my family.

I never knew how much hard work went into making a pair of jeans until I toured the AG denim factory. A few of us over here at REVOLVE had the chance to walk the grounds, peek at the fancy top-notch technology, and witness all the hand-crafting details that go into making each pair of AG jeans. Who knew pumice stones were involved? They even let us have a look at some of their top secret washing techniques! (Don't worry, our lips are sealed!) Now I understand why AGs are different from other leading denim. Tons of hard work and special attention to even the littlest of detail go into the making of each jean so that the fit, wash, and aged look are just right!
Thanks to Sam Ku for allowing us backstage at AG, it was definitely a learning experience!
Visual highlights below!

I've wanted this T by Alexander Wang tank since the birds could fly and the cats could sing.... thankfully the people at REVOLVE sent one over. Its unbelievably perfect. I dont think there will ever be a better black tank in the history of the universe. Pretty big statement?
Maybe. But its true...
T by Alexander Wang tank, american apparel pants and tube striped body suit, Dr. Marten boots, mom's necklace.

I started almost two years ago because I was soo inspired by other blogs and I wanted to share my opinion with everybody.

Not especially. I just pick out things that jump out at me on that day. My outfits also depend on my mood.

Its all over the place. One moment Im in a knee length dress, and the next you'll see me in overalls. Its almost funny how crazy my wardrobe is. At the same time I like mens dressing and then being as feminine as possible.

H+M, vintage stores, goodwill, American Apparel.
Do you have any favorite designers?
I am in LOVE with Chloe. I also like Burberry, Chanel, and Marc Jacobs. Not to mention Proenza Schouler. That brand always manages to pluck at my heartstrings.

School, mostly. And playing the piano. Living. Laughing. That whole chestnut.

Look who we spotted wearing Paula Bianco's infinity scarf! Kim Kardashian paired the loose weave scarf with distressed denim, over the knee boots, and a heavy moto jacket. I know the outfit might look hard, but trust me Bianco's doubled knit is beyond soft! The layered piece is designed to look slightly loved and can be worn doubled or tripled depending on the type of bundling you desire. The scarf also comes in a variety of warm colors to see you through spring!

Inspired by all things mystical is driving my wardrobe in a slightly new direction. This neotericstyle is exemplified by my second headpiece by Paisley&Brass, a triple strand wonder aptly titled "the royal gypsy." It is difficult to put to words what is mostly instinctive choices, but perhaps modern, minimalist gypsy would be an accurate characterization of the mood I am attempting to evoke. Suitable since I planning another move this summer, although the destination is still unknown. Pushing myself style-wise is this black, lace Cheap Monday dress from REVOLVEclothing; the perfect modern, gothic dress for a wandering spirit.
REVOLVEclothing: When did you start writing your blog? Why did you decide to start a blog?
I started my blog in the summer of 2007. I had just returned to rural Pennsylvania from a semester in Japan and I was feeling stifled. My blog became this outlet of all my creative impulses and connected me to a bigger world of like-minded individuals.
Do you have any fashion icons or heroes?
I admire Sofia Coppola for her style in clothes and the distinct style that embodies all of her films. I'm also greatly inspired by Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde. In fact, I'm probably more inspired by characters in film than real life people.
Do you look to any specific inspiration when getting your outfits together? (movies, music, books, etc.)
When I buy pieces I look for a specific vibe; right now I'm looking for some exotic, gypsy-esque pieces all inspired by Ruth St Denis. When I put together an actual outfit though, I just start with pieces in my wardrobe and just build around a pair of shoes or a dress--the inspiration tends to be the garment itself.
How would you describe your personal style?
Right now, I call it quirky ladylike. There are some elegant elements in it, but I like to break it up with whimsical headdress, colorful tights, and other odd elements that make it less stuffy.
Where do you find most of your clothes?
Vintage or secondhand stores and chain stores, because I definitely shop on a budget!
Do you have any favorite designers?
I definitely change according to the season and their last collection; some favorites are Christian Lacroix, Rodarte, and Proenza Schouler.
What is your current fashion obsession?
Style wise; I'm into neutrals, vintage hats, and heeled oxfords.
What are you up to these days, aside from blogging?
I'm working on a couple of different projects with people online, but my biggest time committeemen are part-time classes and my applications for law school.

Fashion week (and a half) is coming to an end. The runways are empty, our PR friends packed up their headsets, and we're making our last rounds at the the trades. However, I wouldn't dare leave New York without dishing out the goods on what to expect for fall from some of our favorite designers.
Rebecca Taylor's collection embraced the idea of what women want to wear when they feel feminine and cool, but also want to stay comfortable. Looks offered tons of layered sweaters, fitted suiting, faux fur trims, and new colors like olive green desert rose.
Tibi's Amy Smilovic brought the appeal of opposites to the forefront of her collection. Inspired by Peter Beard's photographs, masculine structure met feminine draping, and neutral colors were offset by pops of brights.
Karen Walker showed us how Bob Dylan does Austrian style, the Von Tramp way. Her collection teamed with shrunken suiting, from cropped chord blazers to skinny trousers, and dusty colors of blue, cream, and printed folk-inspired velvets. On the other end, there's warmer oversized flannels, chunky sweaters, and sheepskin for those colder days in the Alps.
Yigal Azrouel went lean and tailored for fall. His collection created silhouettes that were heavy on structure but also soft and draping, using architectural shapes to reinvent classic garments that played on masculine and feminine elements.
Timo gave us "Pagentry and Ceremonial Splendour," which translated to looks for him and her that incorporate pleats, wool minis, tweed pants, and classic button downs. Colors and plaids went dark, think camel, aubergine, maroon, and forrest green.
Milly designer Michelle Smith titled her collection "Classique=Moderne," looking to several Nouvelle Vague films of Jean-Luc Godard to provide her with Parisian chic inspiration. Pieces are classic but find modern play in color and contrast. Expect stripes paired with checks, and bold colors like crimson red blending with elegant fabrics.
Tons of layers and ivory whites filled Erin Wasson's latest collection for RVCA.The vibe was a mingling of bohemian-esque flowy and grunge-inspired separates, with a lace-up jumper thrown in the mix.
 '
Vena Cava's Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock showed us how they do Woodstock cabin retreat in the '70s, offering up playful culottes, mossy colors, and dots of hardware for signature edge.
Elise Overland's signature rocker style gives way to more elegance this coming fall. Expect your favorite leather pieces alongside tuxedo-inspired dresses, velvets, cropped jackets, and body-hugging silhouettes.
