fine denim

Don't ask me how a cultural tour of Los Angeles with my visiting college-aged niece this past weekend ended up at Topshop in The Grove. But it did--and, thrillingly, it enriched with us with a newfound appreciation for artful, embroidered denim! We discovered a trove of it, all inspired by Gucci's pre-fall 2016 collection (above, another cool pair here). Topshop's embroidered jeans are whimsically cool, featuring both flowers (now mine) and birds (scooped up by my sister), plus they're delightfully affordable. I also adore this white floral pair and this sequined style. I foresee many more spin-offs down the road, but I like the idea of wearing them now before they saturate the streets!
