Jeggings – a jeans/leggings hybrid – is a big trend this season, but until yesterday, I had yet to try a pair.
Then, I open up my mailbox and am greeted with Grane Electric Stretch Denim jean-leggings.
Essentially, jeggings are a streamlined skinny jean – and I love them. Then are super-slimming, comfortable, and look great with this season’s trendy high boots.
Ladies, note, this style is Juniors-sized, so play it safe and go up a size when ordering online. (Or just go to the store and try a pair on!)
What do I love even more? I just noticed they are on sale …read more

Jeans are a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. This year, cropped ankle-length and capri jeans are a hot choice for the spring and summer months. These shorter jeans are a fantastic option because you can show off your cute sandals.
Here are a few of my favorite crop jeans that are available right now from Nordstrom.

These heavily distressed jeans look hip and cool. They offer 5-pocket styling and are cropped several inches above the ankle. They have a little bit of spandex for easy fit. These jeans are priced at $198.

Trying to decide what denim to add to your wardrobe?
The trends are constantly changing, and it’s hard to stay on top of them. As a way of help, I chatted with Kim McGowan, co-founder of a newly launched Markdown Alert. They track sale apparel, accessories and shoes from designers and retailers, and this leads to serious research on each season’s looks. Here’s some of Kim’s thoughts on the denim looks to go for
The trouser pant
This season it is paired with white denim which gives it a timeless, crisp preppy feel. This look is fantastic when paired with a feminine …read more

Answer Yes or No to the following statements:
I feel the button of my jeans digging into my stomach when I sit down.
I constantly wonder if my undergarments are visible when I am sitting.
By the end of the day my jeans are a size larger than when I put them on.
I’d rather be in sweatpants than my favorite pair of jeans.
If you answered Yes to any of these questions, you may be ready for a new pair of jeans!

I have about 2 dozen pairs of jeans in my teeny studio apartment’s single narrow closet. Clearly, this is a problem.
And yet, in the past week, I’ve made three new denim acquisitions – all by K. Roque. I can’t even say how great these jeans have been at hiding the holiday bulge (and the peg leg variety looks hot with my over-the-knee boots!)
Muscat Pilazzo High Waist – $198
La Rigosi Flare – $202
Tinazzi Peg Leg – $198

I am going to be at an intimate gathering tonight, but still want to look festive. Here’s what I have in mind: From SmartBargains.com, behold this great Yuka Wool Blend Lurex Turtleneck.
A layered look is easy to achieve when the items come ready to wear together. The turtleneck cable knit is layered over knit long sleeves and bottom that ties off to one side. There’s great gold threading shimmering through, making it casual and festive all at the same …read more
