WIW (Denim Edition): This Is How I Do It

23 › 
Jul 1, 2010 in Fashion
Hey K friends! I practically live in jeans, so it excites me to no end that we're holding a fun giveaway centered around denim!

Although I'm sadly ineligible for the $300 prize, I'll dish about my denim look anyways!

I just bought this pair of Paige Premium Denim Bootcut jeans! And because I have yet to hem them, I have to wear the highest heels I own (Steve Madden nude pumps). I threw on a blousy tank from Anthro and a three-quarter-length sleeve black cardi from INC to complete my workday look.

Keep sharing your denim looks, too. I may not always get the chance to comment, but I love seeing all you stylish Kaboodlers work it for the WIW posts!

xo,
jinnyjinn

Jinnyjinn's Wedding: WIW 4-24-10

108 › 
Hello Kaboodle friends! I've been a bit slow in commenting on all your great blogazine posts because I was insanely busy planning my wedding. Today's my first day back from the honeymoon, and how fitting is it that we launched our gorgeous new Dream Wedding Essentials section?!

Here are a few pics from the wonderful day!

In the spirit of WIW posts, here's what I wore: A 2009 lace and beaded Pronovias gown, costume chandelier earrings, and a tennis bracelet my parents gave me as a gift the night before.

My bouquet had green Hydrangea, green orchids (Cyndibium), green roses, and a few off-white roses (Vandalla). Crystals were inserted in various flowers and the cream ribbon was held by more crystal pins (bring on the bling! ;)).

The best/most special part of my ensemble was a picture of my grandparents' wedding day in 1937 shrunken down and placed in a trinket tied to my bouquet.

First two photos are from CMC Photography; third photo comes courtesy of one of my girlfriends.

Oh, and now that I don't have a wedding to plan, I can't wait to get back to reading and commenting on all of your blogazine posts again! Holla!

Here's my first WIW post. This is me in my new "Behind the Clouds" Dress from Anthropologie and Steve Madden sandals (purchased last summer).

The second pic is just to show the ruffle details...not to show my non-existent cleavage ;)

5 Random Facts
1. My dad calls me "jinnyjinn" so that's my username. Other variations include: JenJen, JinJin, and Gin 'n tonic (which I happen to love <see Favorites above>). I also go by Jennifer, Jenny, and Jen :)
2. I bought my friends in college. That's what my sorority sisters and I say jokingly. I was VP of my sorority and loved it (most of the time).
3. My fiance proposed after knowing each other for a little more than four months.
4. I'm obsessed with Ken Burns documentaries.
5. I'm a sucker for cheesy 80s love songs... a la Peter Cetera.

Oh, and the puppy? That's Deana. She's my parent's new pup. She's cute except when they bring her over to my apartment and she poops by my side of the bed. I'm thinking she does this on purpose.

Other picture is my sister, mom, and I at my bff's bridal shower. :)

Monogrammed Palais Plaque
Oh someday I will have a fabulous home with fabulous French doors with my fabulous future hubby. *Sigh*

When I saw this Monogrammed Palais Plaque from Ballard Designs, voila! My vision became complete. This beautifully handcrafted wrought iron plaque would look good over any mantle or doorframe. It could even grace a barren wall.

Complete with a natural rust finish and antique gold monogram...J'aime!

CHARGE!

Bedford Smart™ Recharge...
It drives me up the wall that we have the camera charging on the floor in the living room, the iPhone charging on the kitchen table, my Blackberry charging on the dresser in the bedroom, the bluetooth headset charging wherever we have room, and then there are the iPods...

One thing's for certain, we're not getting rid of any of these, but it would be oh-so-nice to have them all in one spot! Pottery Barn answers my desperate call for gadget reorganization with the Bedford Smart Recharge Station. Alas, no more tangled cords and trying to figure out which charger goes with which item!

The Recharge Station comes with a six-plug powerstrip and has four holes that allow cords to come in through the back. You can order the Station in white, black, or espresso to match your kitchen, den, living room, or bedroom decor.

Okay now time to charge my CC!
