Shop Your Closet: Daily Grunge
Fall is finally underway, and with it comes chilly cloudy days, days we feel totally casual, not in the mood to dress up, but not in the mood to wear sweats, kinda rugged and grungy, but in a good way...

Jogger Pants
I have been eyeing this style for quite some time, and as in the case with lots of fashion trends, they make it to the US after it's seen in Europe. So while I was away, I snatched up these pants that I've been wanting but have had a hard time finding. Now... let me clarify... I struggled with what in the world to call these.... JOGGERS? HAREM?

Paris Fashion on the Streets, Part 1
I was SO taken by Paris and as I had said before SO overstimulated, I was taken by every sight, every smell, every sound. And of course, fashion is definitely a huge part of that. So much so that the sneaky side of me was coming out (driving the family INSANE, by the way!), that I tried to take pictures of strangers on the streets to share with you.
