When I met Lauren Friedman at LuckyFABB four years ago, I knew that I wanted to be her friend. She was doing her thing at an event, and illustrated me (see below). AMAZING! The next day, we met again at a “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” Event and she had on the RADEST OUTFIT – a basketball jersey and denim jacket! WOW! She was the cool girl, and I WAS going to hang with her.
I ripped opened the envelope when an advance copy of the book arrived! The watercolor-style illustrations are gorgeous, and it is packed full of usable information for your go-to closet staple, denim. I love all the style tips, and it inspires me to try new outfits with the pieces that I already have in my closet! She even has an illustrated denim-inspired smokey eye tutorial! I LOVE it! Plus, the book contains basics like a denim dictionary, care guide, and the history of denim.
THE STYLE Rx: Want to breath new life into your old denim? Get the book 50 Ways to Wear Denim for a wonderful illustrated guide to help you mix and match pieces and create new outfit with your denim. It will be your new denim bible!
For each of us in the blog tour, we chose our favorite look to share. How could I pass up “Meow Mix”, mixing denim with leopard print?! Did you see how the book is (above)? She even reminded me to wear my cat-eye sunglasses! I was so excited because MIL just gave me this leopard print top FROM GRANDMA WITH LOVE!
For those of you that aren’t familiar, From Grandma with Love is a monthly series that is one of my faves! I’m lucky to be the recipient of my Grandmother-in-law’s beautiful wardrobe. She owned so many unique pieces, and I’ve had the MOST FABULOUS time styling it on the blog. It’s a win-win for me because I ADORE vintage and a fun excuse to wear it!
Head over to my Facebook page or Instagram Story later today for a video sneak peek of the book! And lucky for you…
