Thanksgiving in Los Angeles. - Sylvia Woodger Personal Stylist Manchester, Liverpool, Cheshire and Cheshire

Hi All

As usual it has been longer than I would have liked between posts -this is because I have been on a fantastic trip to LA to spend Thanksgiving with my gorgeous son and daughter in law.A fantastic excuse to explore the LA lifestyle and fashion scene.

I must say Thanksgiving is a great idea it’s Christmas but without the presents ! You have a fantastic meal with all the family but no headache as to what presents to buy .Why didn’t we think of that first !

Fashion is an interesting one – it’s so low key you can go everywhere in gym gear or jeans – no one dresses up unless it’s a charity lunch or gala dinner again a great idea why didn’t we think of that too !!

My role model for LA is Jennifer Aniston – after all she is the ultimate California girl so I thought to myself What Would Jennifer Aniston Wear (WWJWW ) this is my mantra -she is also my era (sort of !)

Perfect jeans and a perfect white T shirt (tee in LA) I decided and set off to find them.There are lots of great shops in LA but I ended up in Barneys which is full of tiny capsules of hand picked gems of clothing and accessories -I was in heaven

I went in search of the Holy Grail jeans that fit,I like them and they make me look tall (I’m 4’11!)

These are what I found – Rag and Bone high waisted skinny in a clean dark wash that look so simple but stunning.The high waist is the best thing ever- it’s really catching on after years of low rise that give you two muffin tops and keep falling down

A high waist gives you a bottom ( butt if you are in LA ) if you don’t have one and smooths and defines your butt if you do have The dark wash gives a clean look which is ideal if you are little like me and can’t carry too much fuss.!I love skinny at the moment but I think changes are afoot we may see the return of boot cut another super flattering shape especially if it is high waisted as it makes legs look soooo long and elegant.
