Looks like we found another fan of the jegging craze! Jessica Alba was spotted wearing Black Orchid's denim leggings in their Thunder wash, pairing the denim with tons of layers and big, all-weather boots. You would never know by looking, but these jeans are incredibly stretchy and feature an elastic waist. We don't suggest showing off the waist, instead travel the same layered road Alba took by sporting oversized knits or a big jacket. Alba also makes another point in the pro-jegging craze, these leggings are simply the best if you want a look that requires tucking your jeans into boots. You'll never worry about bunchiness again!

Never thought you'd don a prim khaki skirt or step into a pair of oxfords? Me neither, but my inner prep can't help but sing over the cute, clean-cut styles I'm finding this season! Chambray shirts, nautical-inspired stripes, dainty scarves, cardigans—can you hear the country club calling? And I'm loving how ladies do the preppy thing mixed with a bit of edge, adding a fur vest, a skinny belt, or even statement jewelry so as to say 'I'm proper, but don't expect to see me at Cotillion."

I was so happy when I got asked by the people of REVOLVE to pick something of choice from REVOLVEclothing.com and after spending some good time strolling through the various brands, designers and trends I just had to go for something involving florals again, I have to say that for a long time I was luring after all the cropped tees and cropped pants but I simply couldn't resist the Free People throwback romper. I love the bohemian vibe and It's so easy and comfortable to wear and I could totally visualize myself standing between Meadows and wildflowers... Hmmmmm Summer... But it isn't Summer yet so I decided to give the REVOLVEclothing gift a slight retro "little house on the prairie" feel by wearing a vintage blouse underneath it with lace socks and Chloe platforms. I'm wearing; Vintage Blouse, Free People throwback floral romper from REVOLVEclothing, Chloe platforms, lace socks.
When did you start writing your blog? Why did you decide to start a blog?
I started my Blog in April 2009, I was already posting outfits on sites like Chictopia and got comments asking if I had a Blog and opened one out of curiosity. Initially I wanted to showcase my inspirations, moodboards, collages and ideas but was working as a Fashion Trend Forecaster at the time, where I was hired to do all these things exclusively for the company I worked for and had to showcase my inspirations in another way. The blog evolved into a personal style blog.
Do you have any fashion icons or heroes?
I?m really inspired by other bloggers and really inspired by people with an effortless style like Kate Moss and Chloe Sevign
Do you look to any specific inspiration when getting your outfits together? (movies, music, books, etc.)
I really like to think in Colors, Textures and Moods, most of the time I first decide a color before I make an outfit!
How would you describe your personal style?
My style is most of the time romantic with pastels, flowers, and girly feminine dresses combined with Grungy details and items like rough boots, hats, vintage jackets with little or no make-up and out-of-bed-hair but I?m always into experimenting and don?t take fashion too seriously.
Where do you find most of your clothes?
I?m actually not a big spender on clothing, I shop a lot of H&M, TopShop and Vintage but I do like to invest in well made pieces when it comes to leather goods and shoes.
Do you have any favorite designers?
It really depends on the season but right now its definitely Miu Miu
What is your current fashion obsession?
Florals, Platforms, Clogs and shoes worn with socks, Patterned tights
What are you up to these days, aside from blogging?
I?m really into Photography and Traveling and started working on designing clothing and tights again.

Alexander Wang Tank. BB Dakota skirt. House of Harlow Thin Stack Ring in Rose Gold. Dolce cardigan. Aldo platform pumps. REVOLVEclothing houses so many of my favorite labels and opens a window of inspiration with just one click of my mouse. When I first heard that they were fans of my blog, I was left completely flattered. I'm a fan of the way they piece the clothing on their site into bona fide exciting wear. At first I felt daunted with the task of picking out some items to model on my blog. So many designers, collections and just plain cool pieces. It was so hard to choose! I finally sought some help from my friend and fellow shopping enthusiast Stephanie. Two heads are better than one. She single-handedly picked out the skirt I'm wearing, saying it reminded her of what "The leggy twenty somethings would wear" such as Whitney Port, Olivia Palermo, Alexa Chung (and myself). With its exposed zipper set in pretty peach and deep plumb tiered layers, I fell head over heels. To add to the lot, I opted for a delicately soft Alexander Wang racer back tank in grey (Stephanie has one too) and a new piece of jewelry in the form of a delicate ring by Nicole Richie. I also picked out a MINK PINK sleeveless chambray dress. I hope the sun comes out to play soon, I cannot wait to bask in the Vitamin D-enriched light with it on this spring!
When did you start writing your blog? Why did you decide to start a blog?
January 2008. I wanted a place to share my style, inspirations and fashionable musings on. I also wanted to meet people who liked fashion like me, who I could talk to.
Do you have any fashion icons or heroes?
Audrey Hepburn. Mary-Kate Olsen (for her fun bohemia) and Ashley Olsen for her classic "je ne sais quoi?"
Do you look to any specific inspiration when getting your outfits together? (movies, music, books, etc.)
Definitely. I love to see what my favorite models and celebrities are wearing (off-duty style is my favorite) as well as keeping up on the latest fashion magazines. Movies, music, art and nature all inspire me as well.
How would you describe your personal style?
Classic with an old fashioned, whimsical twist and add a dash of 90's grunge. I like to play dress up, every day is a chance to play the role of a different girl.
Where do you find most of your clothes?
I love to shop online sites like: Nordstrom, REVOLVEclothing, Shopbop, and Saks. I also tend to mix and match vintage with items from shops such as: Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, H&M American Apparel and Topshop.
Do you have any favorite designers?
I'm heavily into Proenza Schouler, Dolce & Gabbana and Missoni at the moment. Soft materials decorated in strong patterns.
What is your current fashion obsession?
Platforms will always hold a special place in my heart.
What are you up to these days, aside from blogging?
I love to write (creative writing and entertainment reviewing are my favorite) reading, riding my bike, playing tennis, spending time with my family.

I never knew how much hard work went into making a pair of jeans until I toured the AG denim factory. A few of us over here at REVOLVE had the chance to walk the grounds, peek at the fancy top-notch technology, and witness all the hand-crafting details that go into making each pair of AG jeans. Who knew pumice stones were involved? They even let us have a look at some of their top secret washing techniques! (Don't worry, our lips are sealed!) Now I understand why AGs are different from other leading denim. Tons of hard work and special attention to even the littlest of detail go into the making of each jean so that the fit, wash, and aged look are just right!
Thanks to Sam Ku for allowing us backstage at AG, it was definitely a learning experience!
Visual highlights below!
