Denim

Rachel Bilson is a fan favorite (or at least one of my favorites) because she always manages to look effortlessly cool in whatever outfit she steps out in. Normally, nothing screams prim and proper like a crisp white button down shirt. Well, Rachel pairs it with denim cutoffs and it just nullifies everything we thought we knew about mixing the two. Well, done Ms. B, well done.

In case you wondered: Balmain is still going strong. I stumble upon Balmain knockoffs or Balmain inspired shoes & apparel on a daily basis and don’t know where to find the time needed to post all of these finds. So I have to cut back and just concentrate on the really good ones. The denim jacket below is a personal obsession of mine and even though I’d have a hard time finding an occasion where to sport this lovely thing to, I still want it in my closet so badly.

If you love the denim jacket, but don’t have $5k to spare, take a look at this Balmain knockoff by Queen’s Look (an Asian brand). It’s not a 1:1 copy, but it’s still a great budget-friendly alternative which costs only $85.50. Also available in beige, grey & black. The sizing is Korean, so make sure to take a look at the size chart first before you order.

When skinny jeans first debuted (or should I say most recently debuted) a few years back, I really, truly thought it was a trend that would come and go. And that neither I, nor anyone larger than a size four would partake. Well. Now I’m eating my words and then some. Skinnies arrived and they’re better now than in the 80s, because they’re not all high-waisted and acid washed, and because denim has come a long way, baby. It stretches, hugs, lifts, and is more comfortable than ever before. Which is why Vanessa Hudgens practically lives in her Nudie Jeans. And why not? They’re as versatile as leggings—without the need to cover your you-know-what.

You know when bad style happens? Usually when celebs—or mere mortals—are trudging through everyday life: to the gym, to the gas station, to pick up the kids, to the salon. Unlike some celebs who think sloppy is permissible (or synonymous) with casual wear, Kim Kardashian knows that casual can still be chic. Her latest wardrobe trick is to throw a blazer over a long-ish top, add skinny jeans and a perilously high bootie, and POOF! It’s the perfect, practical, photo-appropriate, running-errands outfit.

Lauren Conrad was doing some retail therapy in Beverly Hills a few days ago looking chic as ever in a yellow tank top and a pair of dark washed Levi’s legging jeans which she paired with her signature Marc by Marc Jacobs bag and Miu Miu sandals. I was looking for what feels like forever for the perfect dark washed skinny jeans and I think I may just have found it! Yeah, I’m a real sucker for dark washed denim.
