Denim Diva Ashley Tisdale


I love the jeans Ashley Tisdale is wearing here! I think the shoes are a little much - a solid color would have worked much better. Pick up your own pair of the FP Stud Super Skinny Jeans for $98 at FreePeople.com.

Thrifty Treasures


I could not believe my eyes when I found this jacket at the Community Thrift Store on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston! Acid washed, bomber shaped, and fur lined - this jacket is fall fabulous! I plan on wearing it with very simple outfits - grey or black jeans and white or black tees. Maybe a simple black dress and some black boots to dress it up a bit!

What are your favorite thrift store treasures?

Your Opinion On... Spring Denim Trend Results


Our spring denim trend poll asked for your favorite new denim look: white denim, acid washed, tie dyed, boyfriend, or destroyed. Destroyed denim won with 2/3 votes, and white denim came in second place with 1/3 votes. Why not combine most of the above looks in one jean with J Brand's 12" Pencil Leg Acid Wash Ripped Jeans in Thrasher! Perfectly destroyed, and so acid washed that they are almost white, I just love these jeans! Check out J Brand's whole spring line at ShopBop.com - they feature every new look you could ask for, and more! These are available at ShopBop.com for $218, and are modeled with the Heidi Suede Fringe Vest by Torn by Ronny Kobo and the Camilla Skovgaard Zaha Open Toe Booties. Tres chic!

Happy Shopping!

Your Opinion On... Best Spring Denim Trend


We have seen so many new denim trends already in 2009. Boyfriend jeans have been huge with the celebrities, most wearing their jeans rolled up to a mid calf length. These jeans are cute and comfortable all at once, making for an effortless chic go-to item for any occasion. White denim has also been very popular so far this season for its elegant yet summery appeal. Of course, we also have the acid washed and tie dyed denim for when we want a more grungy look! The destroyed denim trend is by far the most wide-reaching trend of the season. We have seen destroyed white denim, shredded acid washed jeans, ripped boyfriend jeans, and tattered skinny jeans. The destroyed look is by far my favorite of the season - I love the versatility it offers.

So what do you think? Which looks do you love and which do you hate? What do you already have for the summer, and what are you just dying to buy? I can't wait to get my hands on a pair of skinny white destroyed jeans - and I think Siwy will be my best bet.

Your Opinion On... Acid Washed Denim


So what do you think about the return of acid washed denim? This season we have been seeing acid washed jeans, shorts, skirts - even jackets and vests in every color from original blue to black, grey, red, purple, and every color in between. Even if you can't get the premium acid washed jeans, there are plenty of DIY acid wash guides available online. 

Do you like it, or do you wish the trend had stayed in the 80's?

I am a big fan of this seasons grunge influenced denim trends including rips, shreds, and acid washed. I don't currently own a pair, but I think some acid washed denim shorts would be great for the summer. 


These cute Mineral Wash Natural Denim Shorts are only $32 at AmericanApparel.net. I might have to pick up a pair! Also available in red, purple, and blue.
