Happy Birthday Blue Jeans!

It's not every day that I check my email and my dad sends me information for my blog. So when I saw that he sent me an email called "something for your blog site" this morning with a link to check out I had to see what was up. I'm so glad I did! Did you know that today is the 140th birthday of the blue jeans???

A tailor from Reno, Neveda, named Jacob Davis, came up with the idea of riveted pants in response to a customer whose pockets kept ripping. Fearing that someone might steal his idea and recruited Levi Strauss, owner of dry goods wholesaler Levi Strauss & Co., as a business partner. Their patent was obtained on May 20, 1873.

Today, on average Americans have seven pair of jeans in their wardrobe. So with the celebration of blue jeans, and considering that the U.S. buys 450 million pairs of jeans every year, I thought it would be fun to do a quick roundup of my favorite pairs that are out there today.

7 For All Mankind Mid Rise Skinny available at Piperlime- $189

Flare Play Jeans by Dittos available at ModCloth- $99.99

1969 Perfect Boot Jeans available at Gap- $69.95 $54.99


How will you be celebrating the blue jeans today? Will you be wearing your favorite pair? Or will you be going shopping for a new one???

How's everyone's week shaping up? Mine has been super busy...and will be for the next few days. Not that I'm complaining or anything. Busy is good! I have a lot of errands and chores to do over the next couple days, I'll be photographing a shoot for my new muse Sammy Davis Vintage this weekend, and I'm going to get my hair cut later this afternoon (yay!).

Often when I get super busy I tend to find myself on Instagram sharing updates with my readers more often than on my blog...just because it is quicker. Here are some highlights of this past week!

Finally checked out Joe Fresh and bought a few key pieces.

My husband cooked up a Turkish feast for dinner earlier this week. Yum!!!

My Charlotte Ronson sandals that I think are so cute. Too bad they kill my feet! Peep toes never seem to work for me...I honestly think my toes are too fat for them. Seriously! I might be selling them soon. Let me know if you are interested.

Did a photoshoot with Sammy in SoHo.

I hate it when my dog gives me the sad eyes! *Melts my heart!*

Trying to be a little more boho with a headscarf (totally out of my comfort zone!).


What have you been up to this week? I can't believe the weekend is right around the corner. Do any of you have exciting weekend plans???

And...are you following me on Instagram yet???
