Casual Friday

Thank you for your feedback on yesterday’s post! So beauty posts are a YES from what I could gather. That makes me both excited and nervous. I’ve got a few ideas for hair posts, so let me get my life together in the next few weeks and I’ll get a few tutorials shot. You know new things make me nervous, but for you I’ll try something new. From what I gathered yesterday how to curl my hair and make it look messy (don’t look above, that’s just a solid mix of humidity and nap hair) will be first on the docket and then how I do a bun with short hair. So look for those in the next few weeks or if you think I’m procrastinating (like a certain packing post) just remind me that I promised something and I’ll get my act together. 
This week I was pretty casual (I mean minus the full striped skirt outfit, of course). I think it’s the end of summer days that are making me dress more and more casual. We are also running around like crazy so casual is about as good as it gets these days. Why are we running around like crazy? Because guess what —  We signed a lease on a new building last week. That’s right! Store #2 will be opening this fall. I wanted to have a more exciting post to announce with a cute photo in front of the building, etc. and the whole shebang but the building we signed the lease for is currently under demo. Demo is not cute, it’s actually terrifying looking right now. There are no walls and half of the ceiling is torn down but it will come together soon. So this is my un-fancy announcement that we are opening another store this fall. Details to come on everything… as soon as I figure it all out. Which is hopefully sooner than later. 
On a side note, I needed some new skinny black jeans so I started my hunt a few weeks ago. (The Nordstrom Anniversary sale piqued my interest so I tried on a few pairs but didn’t find a winner.) When I was in Old Navy the other day I saw these high-waisted pair and tried them on a whim. Instant love. (You know how I feel about high waisted — I’m tall with a long torso so they fit like normal jeans. I love a long zipper.) They are also very stretchy which is always a bonus. I know, I know —  I’m really selling you on this pair.  ‘A long zipper AND stretchy material?! Perfect for when I turn 85, Kendi.’  
Let me try this again: black jeans that have a little bit of stretch, fit perfectly and are a staple for fall. That’s much better. And if you aren’t into high-rise as much as I am they have a mid-rise version too, which is just as stretchy 😉

  4. I am all about high rise, I don't care if it makes me look 85! For a short gal like me, I think high rise bottoms give the illusion that my legs are longer than they really are. I'm just living a lie I guess, haha 😉

    Congrats on the new store!! Can't wait to see what it looks like in the fall 🙂

  69. I have a long torso, too! There's really no such thing as high-waisted for us. I also love the ON rockstar jeans. I have to replace them every year, though. Do you think black premium denim would last more than one season?
