AUGUST STYLE EDIT

Zoë Kravitz for Nylon

Wicked Cool Cover Shot! Nylon is finally climbing its way to my heart. Nylon's edgy millennium girl (look and feel) is hip and cool and 'oh so' Nasty Gal-esque.

Honestly, the only print copy (of Nylon) I own is the March '15 issue with Rita Ora gracing the cover. And I certainly can't wait to pick-up the August issue, b/c I'm a super denim enthusiast as well as a Zoë Kravitz fan. (You might have a new subscriber soon, Ny!)

It's a breath of fresh air to peep some new flavor on the covers of Nylon. I like to read mainstream fashion magazines that showcases various types of  stylish women. (A+)

Outfit Edit: Kim Kardashian Spotted Looking Too 'Distressed'...?

Style No No! So there's ripped...then there's tore the f*ck up. Let's take a step back. Kim looks fab from the waist up; I adore a great blazer paired with a lightweight casual tank underneath. And while I am not gaga over what's trendy, I do own a few pairs of distressed jeans, but not as 'distressed' as Kim's. Holy Help! Girlfriend, the jeans are way too holey -- and the overall fit? Meh. Below are some tasteful trendy alternatives:

Easter Sunday "Evening Style"

Faded Denim Jacket

Style Finds! Here's to wrapping up a great, joyus morning with the family and friends. Now, it's almost 8 PM, and you're probably wanting to ease into an Easter Sunday-esque evening outfit that's stylish yet family-ready (Know what I mean?)

Style Advice: Try a cute floral dress with a fab hat (tights is you must) — and you might want to throw on a chic denim jacket; it's a bit chilly outside.

Happy Easter! XoXo :) nikki

Denim Tutu! My thoughts have been fixated on denim; last week I blogged about the denim {-on-denim} trend -- even posted a few denim pieces that are suitable for the workplace. In any event, I came across an article: Urban Outfitters May Have Gone Too Far With A Denim Tutu. Um, excuse me? As if! I think the featured denim tutu is wicked cute and immediately pictured it on a little girl, or maybe Madonna...back in the day. It's fun!

"Urban may have finally crossed the line by selling a denim jumper-cum-tutu in its stores."

::CIA Activity:: Regarding the "ripping off indie designers" comment, I did some digging and discovered that the 'denim tutu' is not anything we haven't seen before; it's been done already. Reference: Exhibit A (Hm...but you ain't heard nothin' from me.)

Psst! Denim Is Always Trending, Wear It Year-Round...To Work, Too!

Note-To-Self: Cobalt Blue Heels, Swoon!

Trend Alert! I know, you probably packed away your short cut-offs due to the crisp winter air settling in. However, you do have all season long to rock the denim trend, specifically, the denim-on-denim trend. So, the trick to wearing the trendy denim-on-denim is to simply mix your washes and weights — the inevitable mash-up style. And yes, while wearing denim to work is typically a 'no no' (excluding casual Fridays), at some companies you might get away with wearing, perhaps, darker denim pieces. But make sure your choices are professional and clean (a step up from casual). 

Below are business environment-approved denim pieces, according to nikki! :)

Denim Blazer; Ruffle Hem Denim Blazer; Dark Denim Skinny Jeans; Dark Navy Wool-Blend Pencil Skirt

Trend Alert: Overalls For Women

Source: Pretty Major

Style Notes! Unless you've been living underneath a giant rock, I'm sure you heard that overalls made a huge comeback this spring. Yup, you read right, overalls -- "bib-and-brace" -- overalls. And while I'm not too sure if I'd rock the trend (more leaning towards a no) I'm really starting to find them exceptionally cutesy, thanks to the featured picture. 

Home-Girl wearing the overalls (above) is showing us that she's embracing the trend as she pairs it with a cool white mesh short sleeve shirt. But, I particularly like that the overall is distressed denim, which is certainly a spruce-up ingredient adding some fashionable flavor to mix. Moreover, peep her manicure! It's clean and simple yet stands out whilst complementing the entire outfit. And the camera? It's so statement.

In closing, I Google'd 'overalls' to read the latest articles discussing the trend, as well as to spy on adult celebs brave enough to wear overalls during SS/13. Findings: Necole of necolebitchie.com (left) is working it for the people. Don't y'all think? Personally, [I think] she nailed it. So, would you rock the overalls trend? Tell me on Twitter, or right below in the comment section. xx :) -ns

Do you want to rock the overalls trend? You're in luck! I handpicked options JUST FOR YOU! Shop The Trend: 3.1 Phillip Lim; Amazon; Anthropologie; ebay; Forward by Elyse Walker; Free People; Macy*s; YOOX.COM

Style Notes | I rarely wear bright-colored denim, as I usually wear different shades of blue—and black every now and then. But this season colored denim jeans are dominating the clothing racks at stores ... whispering my name and saying "buy me..."

So, why not give the trend-a-try? I'll start with a green pair, and work my way to yellow!

What's your favorite color denim? Tell me on Twitter.

Zoe Saldana's Chic Look!

Style Notes | What a chic look for a casual walk on the streets of Montreal -- and I especially love how Zoe rolled up the short sleeves of her easy breezy white tee! Personally, I do this often in the summertime, which enhances my silhouette. Really, it does! 

In regards to the bells and whistles, Zoe didn't over accessorize, however, the earrings could've gone (away!)—and it still wouldn't have downgraded the overall look one bit.

Kourtney Kardashian Wears Étoile Isabel Marant Jumpsuit

Style Notes! Kourtney Kardashian was spotted looking super cool and casual in a Étoile Isabel Marant faded denim jumpsuit.  

Thoughts: I think the look is pretty cute. But I wondered what her backside looked like? This kind of painterly jumpsuit can be unflattering to the buttocks area...if you know what I mean.

If you're interested in purchasing this jumpsuit, hopefully Net-A-Porter will put it back in stock ASAP; as of right now it's not available.

No denim jacket? Get one A.S.A.P.! It's a must-have wardrobe item.
