In these times of trend-heavy denim collections, I often can’t decide how I feel about a certain trend. I have to let it marinate for a while before I can make a call. Floral denim, for example? When I started seeing it at the previews in the fall, I was conflicted. Is this too 90s? [...]

Amongst all the color offerings in the world of denim that we’ve seen this season, peach and mint green have to be my favorites. The softness of the pastel hues and how well they pair with other colors makes each of them totally accessible to even the most timid of colored denim wearers. I have [...]

On that long and seemingly ever-growing list of denim I thought I’d never wear (floral jeans, carpenter jeans, velvet jeans), you can add pink jeans. I wore a pair of hot pink jeans on Valentines Day, but I’ll admit that it didn’t feel quite right. (That look was a lot of color.) After seeing these [...]

One thing I used to really struggle with as a denimphile in New York City – is that I live in an apartment without a washer and dryer. Back in Seattle I would regularly toss my jeans through the wash whenever they started to bag, or just swirl them through the hot dryer to shrink [...]

I think the best part about writing a denim blog is getting to discover and test out new brands that I never would have otherwise. This week I’m taking the Les Halles ‘The Seventies’ skinny jean for a spin. I was attracted by the color, intrigued by the french name and curious about the fit. [...]

In last week’s street style post, I was having a major moment for pastels. (“Having a moment.” Are we over that phrase the same way we’re over “pop of color?”) Light, breezy shades of pink, yellow green and blue remind me of flowers and Easter and all the sweet things about spring. That’s always nice. [...]

How many more times do you think you can hear the phrase “pop of color” before you just can’t take it anymore? I love what it means – taking a basic outfit and jazzing it up with a bold and colorful piece – but the expression is starting to make my stomach turn just a [...]

Love is in the air… Everywhere I look around… Love is in the air… Every sight and every sound… I mean, right? Remember that song? It puts me in a good mood, and is obviously rather perfect for today, our most sacred holiday of love. Now, I’ve been single on Valentine’s Day every year since [...]

In my downtown wanderings, as I comb the streets for cool denim style to share with you, there’s something I’ve noticed. There is never not someone stylish near the intersection of Grand and Crosby Street. Maybe it’s because there’s a great little deli on the corner, maybe it’s becuase Saturday’s Surf is just up the [...]

The best thing to happen to fashion in the last decade has been the near-complete destruction of “rules.” You know, never wear this with that, certain colors for certain seasons… That’s all gone out the window and ushered in an anything goes age of dressing. So on that note, lets talk about pastels. They have [...]

I am happy to say that I can greet you all this morning from the comfort of my desk back in New York City. I had a wonderful vacation in Seattle and Sun Valley, but by the time I boarded my flight to the East Coast, I was so ready to be back. Little did [...]

I’m still having a hard time comprehending that 2011 is just about finished. I mean, where did the year go? Wear did the year go? If you ask me, this was a banner year for denim. We had some really strong trends take hold, and lucky for us, the kind of trends that have staying [...]
