i am a jeans girl—always have been, always will be. and lucky for me, jeans are all the rage this spring as they come in a variety of fun colors and patterns {check out my fave ones here}. that said, shopping for jeans can be simply dreadful, even for those with the skinniest of legs and smallest of waist. But with a few tips, you'll know what to look for—and what to avoid—and come out with your perfect pair {or two!}

check out my post at buttoned up for a few tips and start shopping!

suiting up for the showdown.

not only was yesterday my birthday, but it was the best birthday ever! buttoned up was hired to suit up and style nba and mls players for showdown in chinatown, a charity soccer game put on by the steve nash foundation.

we were able to style some of my favorite nba players including steve nash, raja bell, tony parker,  marcin gortat, and leandro barbosa. let me also throw in that grant hill was also in attendance... a dream come true for natalie. 

it was quite a day that i didn't want to end—my feet felt otherwise.
