I actually own this same pair of corduroys from Paige, and I am a gigantic fan. They’re super soft and really comfortable to wear for work or play. Buy your standard Paige size in these (this style runs about a half size small) and enjoy!
There are a ton of different pairs of jeans for super cheap (including this pair, running from size 28-32, for only $32!) – Yoox is having their big Sample Sale, so the selection is great, the prices are even better and the next few days will be a shopping frenzy over there. Move quick – the sale ends on January 31st!
Jeans: MET Denim (available at Yoox)
Tank: Generra (purchased on Gilt Groupe)
Sweater: Aude (purchased on eBay)
Bracelets: Amrita Singh (purchased on Hautelook)
Shoes: Fergie (who would’ve thought, right?)
And, a couple of detail shots for you guys!
Big thanks to MET Jeans for sending these my way – I absolutely adore the wash, cut and color. Plus, they’re super soft and fit wonderfully – a perfect, neutral palette that you can get creative with.
Do you like these jeans, or do you prefer your colored denim to be a bit brighter?
Love,
JP
PS – I’m traveling to Michigan, back to see family. Maybe we’ll do some colder weather outfit shots there!
I was totally geeking out on Pinterest, and wanted to share some of the newer Balmain shots with you. They’re gorgeous and totally swoonworthy. The styles selected are from Balmain Spring 2012 and Resort 2012.
You’ve met the amazing Sandy before, and we’re lucky enough to have her back and sharing her top picks for colored denim!
As you know, not-so-basic blues (and reds, greens, purples…) are the new big thing in denim, so when Sandy said she was flush with color in her jean wardrobe, I asked her to share some with us.
Here’s round one – AG Stilt in Teal and two (yes, TWO!) pairs of Red Engine colored denim.
AG Stilt in Teal
1. AG Stilt in Teal ($159 at AGJeans.com) – Sandy is wearing a size 29 (usually a size 28/29) and as you can tell, these fit wonderfully. We’re particularly smitten by the beautiful teal color!
Red Engine Straight Leg in Fig
2. Red Engine Cayenne in Fig – We wrote about this style last year, and I still cannot get enough. Sandy is rocking a size 28, and it looks so great on her. The fig is borderline khaki but has a little something different to it. I’m definitely a fan.
Red Engine in Olive
3. Red Engine Garnet Bootcut in Olive – Also in a size 28, the color of these is vaguely reminiscent of MiH’s Paris Aviator Jean.
See the front and back below and stay tuned for more shots from the fabulous Sandy!

I get excited when new seasons come along – if only because that means amazing new denim to try. I picked out some looks that I really loved – and highly recommend – for the upcoming seasons. Spring 2012 will be a hugely hot season for denim of all styles and kinds (potentially with a few people still trying the double denim look, which I personally consider a huge no bueno.), so I wanted to select some looks I loved, cuts I craved and the most incredible indigo (and beyond!) out there.
1. Madewell Selvedge Jeans – I love the Shoo Fly wash, but I’m fairly impartial when it comes to that. What I love is the use of selvedge with stretch, since selvedge (read more: What is selvedge denim?) is tricky to make into slimmer cuts.
2. Bright Denim – Nothing is going as crazy as colored denim. I have a handful of pairs myself and I still cannot get enough – one of the brands I’m loving the most is Superdry, thanks to their Pop Your Colour collection (including the Poppy denim seen below). These are priced right (under $150) and super stylish!

3. Retro style flares – A style that few do better than Dittos Denim’s wide flare and MiH’s Marrakesh cut, I happen to adore the 70′s style flare. It’s fresh while still looking fun, and the higher cut waistlines tend to be more comfortable for a wide range of body types.
4. Basic Blues (made better) – There is truly nothing more satisfying than getting the perfect pair of blue jeans. Sure, it takes a few tries to find the right pair, but if you’re going to drop some dough on new denim, you might as well make sure you do it right. Some of my favorite brands for the perfect basic blue jean? Red Engine, DL1961 and Agave Denim.
