Friday Night Tights

Hello, hello! As yesterday was the first day of autumn, I thought it was only appropriate to do a post on leggings and tights. There are so many fun patterns and embellishments that I can’t wait to play around with this fall. Although they’re huge right now, you won’t find any ripped or slashed tights below- I physically can’t bring myself to wear them. I’m not really into the “my legs were ran over by a lawnmower” look, ya dig? Check out a few styles that I much prefer:

Anthropologie Chevron Stack TightsTrina Turk for Hue Two-Toned TIghtsOrnamented Leggings

zig-zag patterned tightstwo-toned tights, buttoned leggings


Seven For All Mankind Motorcycle LeggingsSilence & Noise Studded LeggingsRebecca Beeson Zippered Legging

My favorites are the motorcycle leggings (click on the image or link for a detailed image) and the two-toned tights. Thoughts?

Musical Debut Dress by LARok (Revolve, $278)

 

3. Making Friends With Black People by Nick Adams


    L.A.-based stand-up comedian Nick Adams’ smart, humorous look at race relations in the United States. Adams’ attempt to bring all the colors of the Crayola box closer to racial harmony includes insider info such as this:

 

When you guys start using our words, that’s when we know it’s time for us to stop using them. Every time a white, middle-aged math teacher calls a student “dog,” black people all over the country are notified via e-mail.

 

4. The Fremont Dress (Modcloth, $49.99)

This dress is adorable and available for an incredible price.

 

5. House of Jazmin

    MTV’s newest gem follows Jazmin, a twenty-something aspiring fashion designer, as she creates the first collection for her line Li Cari. Behold, the trailer for the series:

 

 

Jazmin was recently interviewed by W Magazine:

“[The collection] is, like, really versatile. There are pieces that you could see on a 14-year-old girl or a 50-year-old woman…I think my biggest influence and inspiration would be Coco Chanel because just, like, the cuts and the fabrics and everything are so, like, my personal style. And so it’s so, like, exciting to see all of her work and how she started with hats, and when I was young I started designing, like, sketches of perfume bottles.”

 

Um…right.
