Rag and Bone Pajama Jean in Miramar

source revolvelcothing, ragandbone, and shopbop

I went ahead and ordered these jeans to see what all the hype was about.  When I first saw the Pajama Jean in Miramar by Rag and Bone, I was very intrigued.  Who could deny a pair of jeans that are as comfy as pajamas?!

The Pajama jean in "Miramar"  has a digitally screen printed design straight from their popular men's selvage jean, so it's pretty much the perfect boyfriend jean. It is made of 100% french terry cotton and has slit side hand pockets.  The price tag is a hefty $297!  The XS fits fine, but I wouldn't mind if they made it an inch or two shorter because it scrunches up a little at the ankle. What's cool about them is that they can be paired with any type of shoe, but what worked for me were my Vince Blair slip on sneaker

I love them, but I'm not sure about spending that much money on a pair of sweats. Although I'm really tempted to snip the tags and wear them out right now.  The online stock is a bit sporadic, but as of now, they are available at Barneys, Shopbop, Singer22, Revolve Clothing and Saks Fifth Avenue



Interior is of french terry fabric

Chanel "Ballerina" Nail Polish

Chanel's "Ballerina 167" nail polish is a very sheer light pink.  In the picture below, I already applied  2 coats and it still looks translucent.  I think this would be a good overlay for french manicures though!

Essie's "Cute as a Button" Nail Polish

This is one of my favorite Essie colors of all time!  Cute as a Button is a lovely coral color and the application goes on very smoothly.

It's not Celine.. but comes close: Vince Blair 5 Sneaker

Celine Plaid Skates versus Vince Blair 7 Snakeskin Skates


Right now I'm loving the slip-on skate shoe trend.  The plaid Celine skates are very hot right now, but I'm not sure if I can justify the $625 price tag.  I did end up buying a pair of Vince "Blair 5" Sneaker in the black perforated black leather because of its rave reviews. 

The perforated leather style fits very comfortably right out of the box.  No break in period required.  Quality is superb and worth the price point. I'd recommend getting true size.

I'm still debating if I should return these and splurge on the Celines.  I definitely recommend the Vince Blair Sneaker if you don't want to spend a lot on a pair.  They make a great casual look which is a nice alternative from flats.  For the Vince Blair sneakers, Blair 3 has the suede upper in black and "Flint" and Blair 7 has tech fabric in "oyster" gray color.





After doing another search to find a less expensive dupe of the plaid slip on sneaker, I found Steve Madden's Ecentrcf sneaker comes very close at a fraction of a price.
