Some info. about the label:
Emily Current and Merritt Elliott, a pair of L.A. stylists-turned-designers, launched this new line of chic, desirable denim. They self-advertised their new digs at photo shoots and soon, everyone wanted a pair of the looser, cooler jeans. The Current/Elliott label received praise from Vogue magazine’s July issue in citing it as “the most refreshing denim line to come out of L.A.’s jean scene in a long, long time.”
CC knows that the boyfriend are a current elliott jeans fave, but she assures you that The Legging will also become a staple in your closet, darlings! The fit is extraordinary, and the pockets are nice and low in back, making for a very flattering rear view!

  11. Strapless dresses and high heeled booties are amazing together! Nearly anything looks great with high heeled booties, as long as you make sure to keep the other pieces according to the season.
    But as great as the top pictures are, i'm for some reason, kind of in love with that picture at the bottom. The model is in a green dress, and is wearing bright, hot pink socks with nearly fluorescent yellow heeled sandals, i'm kind of in love with that footwear combination :)

    ReplyDelete
  12. I also loveee infinity pools :) That Gucci dress is gorgeous too, darling CC! You always pick the most lovely things...I also love that you play gin rummy with your sister! So fun!

  38. i can vouch for the current/elliot legging jeans...they are DIVINE. most perfect-fitting, most comfortable lightweight jeans i've ever worn! plus they make my legs look miles long- that's something, considering i'm only 5'2".

    i've posted about these amazing jeans a few times on my blog (worn by moi).

    since getting the black ones, i've been searching for a pair in blue denim, to no avail. :(

    ReplyDelete
  39. LOVE Current/Elliot they're so surprisingly soft, I could live in them.
    Also, I don't think I'll ever not want to do the mini dresses with booties-instantly hot.

    ReplyDelete
