White Denim for Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is just around the corner, and you know what that means… white is back! Whether you believe the old-fashioned rule that white should only be worn from Memorial Day to Labor Day or you rock your white all winter long, it’s time to pull out your favorite white for the summer (or use this as a good excuse to buy a fresh, new pair)! Check out HABITUAL’s current white style offerings at Amazon.com.

And let’s not forget why we celebrate this holiday- Memorial Day is a day to remember the fine men and women who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

Whatever your plans may be for the weekend, we wish you all safe travels!

Who’s Got The Habit: Olivia Wilde

Who's Got The Habit

We love how Olivia Wilde styled her look in our Almas hi rise zip skinny jeans.   She definitely pulls off this casual look and even added a little edge while taking a stroll around NYC with fiancé Jason Sudeikis.   Olivia paired our jeans with a funky blue leather jacket layered over her cotton hoodie.  We love how she used chic oversized shades and threw on some black leather booties to complete her rock star look!

Don’t worry, we just made getting this look a whole lot easier by putting a little something together ourselves!  Get Olivia’s casual look below and remember, the jeans ALWAYS make the outfit!

Coachella 2013 in Teo Shorts

Coachella

It’s that time again when people from all over the country gather in the middle of the dessert to showcase their awesome fashion! Oh, and probably listen to some indie band performances. In order to battle the 100-degree weather, you definitely have to be smart about choosing what to wear!

With Coachella just around the corner, we put together an outfit with our spring favorite Teo Shorts.  Pair the denim shorts with a loose forest green top (can even pull over your shoulder) to create a fun urban look, or go with the floral lace top for something a little more hipster!  If you really want to master the hipster/hobo look, pull over the elastic headband and voilà- you look cute and your hair is in place!  Complete the outfit with over-size shades and blinged out jewelry!

Shorts: HABITUAL Tate short in Onyx

Ring: Jennifer Zeuner Jewelry Block Love Ring

Bracelet: Michael Kors Skorpios Bracelet

Sunglasses: Thierry Lasry Milfy Sunglasses in Dark Havana

Headband: Deep Gurnani Gold & Turquoise Applique Headband

Tops: Free People American Pie Top in Camo (right), BB Dakota Omni Crochet Top (right)

Shoes: Sam Edelman Gable Strappy Flat Sandals

One band we are looking forward to seeing is the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who last performed at Coachella in 2007.  We love “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie”!

On Trend: Milan Fashion Week

This Fall/Winter 2013, it seems like bright colored fur prints and bags will be all the latest fashion.  Versace showed off an electric-yellow zebra stripped coat perfect for catching anyone’s attention on a gloomy day. If you don’t feel like attracting too much attention with a zebra yellow coat, how about toning it down with an animal print bag like Fendi’s pictured above?  This would be a fabulous accessory to make any neutral outfit stand out.  If brightly colored animal prints are not your thing, than you can still be glam with studded shoes and bags . Studded bags have been around for quite a while, but now the fierce decorations are going to be seen more on shoes.  Jimmy Choo’s black pumps feature crystal studs giving the shoes some sparkle without completely going over the top.

On Trend: 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2013 RTW

3.1 Philip Lim

Here’s a Fall 2013 RTW collection that has really stood out to us this Fashion Week – 3.1 Phillip Lim. Throughout the collection you’ll see a theme of  the ‘girlfriends’ of bikers, and we absolutely love this look! Lim also used rich texture in his designs, including quilting, which you’ll actually see in our upcoming fall collection too!  The collection also plays with a subtle, but sophisticated devil-may-care- color palette that we adore! One look we fell in love with is the look in the middle featured above – the outfit has a very cool, goth, warrior-look.

Jessica Alba presented last night in a gorgeous coral gown by Oscar de la Renta. From her dress to her hair, make up and accessories, she looked fabulous head to toe.

On Trend: Angelina Cigarette Skinny in Fresh Moss

Angelina Cigarette Skinny Jeans in French Moss

Remember when we told you that mint was on trend earlier this year? Well, it’s not leaving anytime soon! We love the color so much that we decided to pull our favorite mint shades to create our own wash for our Resort 2012 collection, our Angelina Cigarette Skinny jean in Fresh Moss. It’s a wash that adds a little bit of color, but neutral enough that it can be worn like a gray wash. Below are some of our favorite inspiration photos and you can find more on our Pinterest page!

Color Inspiration: Purple

Angelina Corduroy in Passion Flower

Now that it is officially fall, many of us will be pulling out our good ole’ cords! Over the years, corduroys have come and gone and come back again as fashion favorites. This fall, they are definitely on trend.  We created our Angelina Cigarette Corduroy in Passion Flower with the perfect amount of stretch to fit perfectly on any shape or size.  Our design team chose to create the cords in a deep purple adding a warmth and a richness that will pop against the corduroy’s texture.  Not only is deep purple a great alternative to the usual neutral colors,  it also adds a little edge.  Here are a few images that inspired the beautiful color, and don’t forget to take a look at our color inspiration board on Pinterest here. Happy Fall!
