Ask A Binger! Do Ballet Flats Go With Skinny Jeans?

In our recent Cigarette/ Skinny Jeans post, Laura S. of the adorable DachsiesandDaisies -- who finds heart-wrenchingly cute stuff like marshmallows with heart cut-outs (!!!!) -- asked if ballet flats are appropes footwear for skinny jeans.

In a word: Absolutely, sistrah!

Rachel Bilson always looks so super comfy-casual-cute.

Such a pretty princess! Even if she is dating the human equivalent of a two-by-four. (Hayden = zzzzzz).

Chloe Sevigny may be one of the only people on earth who can pull off white jeans. (J.Lo does NOT count). God bless, I say.

Casual Kate Bosworth in skinnies and flats -- love the all black.

Granted, all jeans are skinny jeans on Kate Moss (here in her Doherty days), but here's another example of the classiness of black flats/ black pants. Perfect way to not look like a crazy person in animal prints.

Perfect ensemble for when you're about to take naked pix of your underaged self! On the reals though: I'm basically indifferent toward Vanessa Hudgens, but these flats are cute.

Anyway, especially in the warmer months, ballet flats are the perfect outfit upgrade from flip-flops (which I absolutely abhor), and sandals, which I've never been too fond of. Flip-flops: hangar steak and Cristalino. Ballet flats: Kobe and Veuve. Got it?

PS: DC blogger HeyPretty's post about skinny jeans and boots has little to do with either, but it's a funny read in a self-deprecating-but-not-too-severely way.

PPS: Also, read HeyPretty's post about how fucking shitty Cashmere Mafia and Lipstick Jungle are and how there's a dearth of TV shows that realistically portray working women in their '20s and '30s. Which is why I primarily watch Intervention and Tell Me You Love Me. And Millionaire Matchmaker.

PPPS: I am not actually, nor am I in any way, shape or form associated with HeyPretty. I just discovered her blog today and like it. KThXbYe!!

Chloe Sevigny: Blonde Beauty

Yes, we know we hated on her clothing line, but that doesn't mean that we, like MollyGood, can't admire Chloe Sevigny's most beautymous hair. Here she is, at her Samsonite Black Label party (Anyone go? We were gonna but we were working AND we feared the Fashion Week lines at Cellar Bar given its proximity to the tents), embracing two of-the-now trends at once: florals and conservative 1950s/60s-style silhouettes with cornsilk hair like that of a beauty queen.

Sigh. Anyone know how to affect this look without actually being born Chloe Sevigny and/or rich enough to afford a live-in hair stylist?

And speaking of Chloe, here's one party we're grateful we weren't invited to!

Chloe Sevigny's Clothing Line

Yay! It won't be long now 'til you can OFFICIALLY dress like the female version of Oliver Twist... or a less cracked-out Courtney Love circa 1993, because Chloe Sevigny's about to drop her clothing line at Opening Ceremony.



What really kills me is the outfit on the far right. For when you REALLY wanna unironically dress like Thelma and/or Louise. I've never been to Chloe's home town of Darien, Connecticut (which allegedly helped inspire her line), but something tells me that the women of a town that boasts a per-family median income of $173,777 don't dress in trailer park-inspired too-tiny floral-printed tankini tops and FUPA-exposing high-waisted printed leggings. And Fergie's already done a good enough job of beating the porkpie to death:



When it comes to fashionable Chloes, make mine See.
