Flash Back: Wide Leg Jean

>> Wednesday, March 30, 2011 –  ,





Sparking images of the 70s revamped, the wide leg jean is reminiscent of the Brady Bunch, Cher, earthy hippies, and free spirits. Originally, the pant was much more exaggerated than those you find today. The flares were bigger, the waistline even higher. However, I think the fashion world has found a happy medium since the 70s look has come back in a big way. The high waisted, wide leg jean now has a more tailored and tame look that is still fun, but manages to be chic. Turn up some Simon & Garfunkel and happy pant shopping!

Now, where to find the fabulous pants pictured above:
1. Tory Burch Spring 2011 RTW Collection: A zesty pair of single button lemon trousers.
2. Derek Lam Spring 2011 RTW Collection: The iconic 70s jean: high waist and flared leg.
3. Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 RTW Collection: A summer short take on the high waisted pant. (Don't they remind you of the high waisted shorts in the Notebook?)

"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point." - C.S. Lewis

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Somewhere I Have Never Travelled

Somewhere I Have Never Travelled
(By E. E. Cummings) Somewhere I have never travelled, gladly beyond Any experience, your eyes have their silence: In your most frail gesture are things which enclose me, Or which I cannot touch because they are too near Your slightest look easily will unclose me Though I have closed myself as fingers, You open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens (Touching skillfully, mysteriously)her first rose Or if your wish be to close me, I and My life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly, As when the heart of this flower imagines The snow carefully everywhere descending; Nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals The power of your intense fragility: whose texture Compels me with the color of its countries, Rendering death and forever with each breathing (I do not know what it is about you that closes And opens; only something in me understands The voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses) Nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands
