Trend Alert: Distressed Denim for Fall


Faded, distressed, ripped, destroyed, and tapered are the new crop of denim pants swinging on the legs of celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Katie Holmes.
Denim is a staple in almost any girls wardrobe;dress them up with some platform gladiators or dress them down with sneakers or ballet flats.

I think this fall we’ll be seeing many classic tailored styles (as was evident from the last fashion weeks shows), but the jeans will remains a staple piece.

Following the popularity of the denim cut off shorts trend going on right now( ie look at Rachel Bilson, Ashley Olsen and Hilary Duffy, plus the loads of fashion bloggers who are not shy to show us their daily wear – shout out to Rumi at Fashiontoast who almost has a denim short fetish bigger than Kate Moss’)

On many occasions I’ve envied her wardrobe, but I wouldn’t be able to pull it off. I must admit that I’ve never felt comfortable in really short shorts, I have really long legs( which where the subject of many childhood scuffles and besides I think they just work to lengthen your legs, which eventually makes me look like a giraffe tumbling over.

I’m already seeing loads of my fellow Parisians rocking faded denim ( can’t wait to get my camera back from Canon, to show you some pictures).

My Trend Forcast says faded jeans just like open toe booties wont be practical for fall/winter, but they’ll be all over the place.

Here are some options that, as usual, wont have you breaking the bank.
Do you think you’ll be falling into the GAP( hehehe) for this denim trend?

Siwy Jeans fit for the masses?

So, remember last week when I told you about the Calypso sale? Well, I hope you got some of the Siwy Jeans because that was probably your last chance to get “the must have jeans” at that unbelievable $75 price.

No seriously, they’re like the J Brand of last year, or so they hope.

Personally I dont feel too strongly, for them, dont see anything too outstanding or particiluy worthy of my money, apart from the fact that people like Kate Moss and La Lahon rocks it, but it’s 2007, and I’m so over being a fashion groupie ( ahhh, well right now I am, lets wait to see what Kate wears next (wink) .

Anyways, if you don’t know here’s whats on the lips of denim freaks and asses of celebrities. Siwydenim.com

Hot off the Street(wear)

It’s like my uniform out of the office, and since i’ve been running my own office these days ☺ I wear what I like, and what I like are really nice quality and fitted jeans that hug my skinny legs.

I don’t really do t-shirts but I have tons of simple tops that I rock with my jeans and even more accessories to pump up the volume: like killer heels, bright sneakers, ethnic jewelry, I got it man! My closets a mix of thrift store chic and bad girl freaky finds. Here’s a list of what’s going to be next on my list, and hopefully in my closet soon.


The Driftwood Jean
Pants By Soundgirl $58.00
www.karmaloop.com

I love Soundgirl! Have you ever seen their colorful hoodies? They’re what I like to call “fresh to death”…hehe
And I’ve found that their skinnies(jeans) fit my body good, like a tire on a rim.

Oh, and I haute any denim with back pockets that scream; they add volume to my derrière. That, I can always use.


WeSC
The Eve Jean in Raw Stretch Selvage $114.00
www.karmaloop.com

I feel a weird connection to the guys at WeSC, even though they made way better shit for the guys than they do for the girls, I’m faithful to them because they use quality fabrics and don’t do cheap stitching. You can practically live in their jeans.

This one’s cool because its not as low as many jeans on the market. You know its not all the time that I want to show my ass crack.


The Armed Hoody
Sweatshirts By Tank Theory $68.00
www.karmaloop.com

Ok this is so Gangsta! And I’m not, I know! But who give a hoot, I love it because its so bad ass…Don’t mess with me I’m armed and dangerous.


EVISU GEISHA SLIM FIT GENE by Evisu $320.00
www.djpremium.com

Ok, so the peoples at Evisu finally wised up and did a female version of their widely popular men’s premium denim with the logo on the back and all(remember when only Jay-Z and Pharell used to rock them?), but you have to be a rocking chic to pull this off. Leave it to me…hehe

Aight, So I’ve never actually bought a pair of jeans over $300 but I know for a fact that Evisu makes some of the best denim in the world, fo real. So, If I have it to spare, why wouldn’t I want the best covering my pretty toosh.

Some days I’m ordinary, most days I’m not!
Love – Jahaute!
