I love low back pockets because it creates the illusion that I have a bigger booty than I really do. :) These dark denim True Religion jeans are great because they are extra low rise & stretchy for those horribly bloated times of the month.

I’ve liked these Goldsign Orchid jeans for awhile. With the wide leg and mid-rise, they cut quite a sophisticated silhouette. I’ve tried them on before and the denim is pretty soft and not too heavy–they’ll translate into spring pretty easily. They’re also a good addition to a work wardrobe because of their trouser fit. Wear them with a t-shirt on the weekends, and dress them up with a blazer and heels on a casual friday.

I know Tory Burch is a little overexposed right now, but I’m still a fan. I love the clean lines and subtle “cute” quality to her clothes. You know, they’re just cute enough, without going too overboard for my tastes. That brings me to these jeans, which are on sale at Bloomingdales for $105 (old price=$175).
These are super classic, with a rise that’s not too low, a slight flare and a nice shade of indigo. Plus they have the signature Tory Burch hardware on the pockets and fly.
Good for night, good for day.
These Rich & Skinny (I know, but I think they’re being ironic) jeans have the perfect silhouette–they’re kind of like those old Levis Sta-Prest jeans. When pants have a higher waist and a flared leg like this, the effect is really elongating and flattering on a lot of body types, from curvy to lanky. It’s also nice that there are so many jeans out now without distressing or faux fading since a nice, dark even wash seems so fresh at the moment.

Tired of people wearing bad denim? Who isn’t? Well, now there’s a forum for you to register your distaste. RateMyDenim.com was introduced on one of my favorite sites, Denimology, today. It’s a fun new site where you can vote on how bad or good a featured jean-wearer is and, if your so inclined (and brave!) you can even upload your own photo for an appraisal. I don’t think I’m quite their yet, but it’s pretty fun to be on the other side.
Check it out!

I know you’re thinking, “Is this woman crazy or something, what on earth am I going to do with fuchsia jeans? Come on!” And I totally get that reaction, but here’s my vision: I remember once seeing the coolest fashion spread in some magazine (it was years ago, I can’t remember which one it was) and it had models walking in New York City, wearing bright skinny jeans just like this. They had on simple flats, fitted black turtle necks sweaters, lots of black eyeliner and 60s style hair. I think Amy Winehouse must have seen it, too.
Anyway, I always remember that look and, if height-wise I had any business wearing capri pants, I would totally rock that look. But it doesn’t work on me, so I bid you to make my dreams come true, average to tall girls. Do it for me! Do it for fashion! Do it for Amy Winehouse!

This morning on Denimology, I read about PimpMyJeans. com, a site dedicated to bedazzling denim. At PimpMyJeans, you can send in your own pair or buy new ones from them ($72) and then the customizing begins. They’ll shorten your jeans for you, make them into a skirt, dip them in bleach, stencil them, take an airbrush to them, encrust them with rhinestones, attach ribbons to them, patch them up, stamp them, trim them with feathers, and a myriad of other strange things. Their “Custom Product of the Month” appears to the right. Hmmm.
I have to say that none of that sounds appealing to me, but I know some people will embrace the service, and I applaud PMJ’s entrepreneurial spirit. I am really concerned about the heat transfers, though:
If you live in LA, and you’re a denim addict–um, I guess that’s a given–get yourself to Clever in Santa Monica tonight for a designer denim swap. Bring in those jeans that you’re totally over, and you’ll be given the privilege of choosing from the denim castoffs of others.
Remember: one girl thigh-enhancing trash is another’s butt-lifting treasure.
Of course, the jeans you give up have to be clean, in good condition and high-end.
Old Price=$145, New Price=$101.50
I’m usually not into logos, but this L.A.M.B. Global Cities Hoodie makes the grade with me. It’s cute here with jeans, but it would also work if you dressed it up with a pencil skirt. It’s $44 off the original price at Shopbop, and they always have free shipping, so even better.
