the EDIT: Denim Jumpsuits

I know what you’re thinking, it’s in the 80s in most places in the country, however I recently saw this picture of Kia Gerber below looking ’70s Jane Birkin chic in this Boyish denim jumpsuit and I had to do a round up of my favorites.

I love a denim jumpsuit! I have a Levi’s one I live in all year round. It’s such a versatile piece. Wear it with casual sandals in the summer, for winter pair with your favorite chunky boot, throw on some heels and a leather jacket (unbutton some buttons perhaps?) for an edgy date night look. The outfit possibilities are endless.

Here are some faves!

the sundress EDIT

As soon as I saw 85 in the forecast for this week I googled easy spring dresses. I’m searching for that perfect day-to-night piece you can wear with sneakers or sandals, perhaps a fun lip, and be good to go. I call it the Brunch to Dinner Dress “The BTDD”. She’s sweet in the morning, but if you want to sex her up for dinner you can, she’s versatile. I found just what I was looking for on revolve. Get yourself a BTDD and thank me later.

Is brown the new black?

Brown is big for spring, this earthy color is chic and grounding. I love this quirky top by BAUM UND PFERDGARTEN in a beautiful caramel hue with jeans and slides for an effortless jeans ensemble.

What’s even more effortless is the no makeup, makeup look. I just purchased the Westman Atelier Vital Foundation stick and not only does it live up to the hype, you feel like you should be working at Goop as a beauty editor every time you click open the magnetic top of it’s stunning packaging. The consistency is creamy, hydrating, and looks like you have nothing on your skin. I found a little goes a long way and perfectly covers redness, plus it’s made of all clean ingredients. It’s a luxury purchase for sure, but you’re worth it! (FYI the Sephora sale is starting in just a few days so add to cart!) I have also been loving this Kosas mascara and this Olio E Osso lip and cheek tint in French Melon. I purchased both after watching Gwyneth Paltrow use them in her latest skincare routine video with Vogue. I’m a sucker for all things goopy.

the SWIMSUIT EDITION

Honestly, it’s harder to find a swimsuit than it is to find a friend with a boat in Chicago. So it actually doesn’t matter that I never find a friend with a boat, because I wouldn’t have a swimsuit I liked to wear anyway. Seriously! Who can relate? So here is my list of the coolest swim brands for the season, appropriate for my 30+ babes.

Vitamin A

ZARA

This blue Zara One Shoulder is good. And this brown one is also very good. But this black two-piece is my favorite! I predict these sell-out. quickly Jump on it!

They also have some very cute accessories…

Orange Headband / Baseball Hat / Straw Hat/ Clutch / Gingham Tote / Crochet Bag

Any of these dresses would make perfect coverups.

White Sheer Maxi / Black Minidress / Green Eyelet Smocked Maxi / Polo Dress / Gauze Tunic / Embroidered Eyelet

I also love an oversized shirt for the beach

Oversized Shirt / Eyelet Shirt Dress

And while we’re at here are some great sandals!

Pearl Slides / Bow Slides / Rubber Sandal

The Black Friday Beauty Edit

In the winter months my skin needs a whole lotta extra love. Especially the day after a holiday, I woke up this morning looking like a dry Thanksgiving turkey. It’s a good thing one of my BFF’s favorite hobbies is skincare. Yes, it’s a hobby, and she’s really good at it. Rachel, aka Rocky, has that glass complexion that’s equal parts amazing and confusing. How does she look that good?! Well you’re in luck, today she’s spilling the tea that makes her T-zone shine. In the best way.

That’s her in the middle!

Below you’ll find what’s in Rocky’s cart and what’s on her radar, plus all the Black Friday beauty deals you need to know! I kid you not she delivered the below to me within one hour of asking. She’s now the MC EDIT’s permanent beauty contributor.

Enjoy!
