Didn’t catch all the guys’ pairs in Part 1 of the Collection? Go check out the rest of the Denim Lookbook now!
Now, for the pairs you really want to see (Sorry, guys!)… NAEM’s newest styles for women. I got these shots in my inbox and was giddy with joy. Love the styles, the cuts (they have a great flare style that’s really versatile for those of you who are over the peg and skinny) and the washes just as much as I did the first time around!
(Quick Break: how do you guys feel about their take on the military/cargo style? Different, right?!?)
I think the last pair – the Jenn in Baja – is my absolute favorite of all the styles. What do you guys think?!?

I’m going to cut this into two parts – guys and girls – because I love what they’re doing for both genders. Each set will go up today (don’t worry!) so enjoy the men’s collection first, and share your thoughts!
If you remember, NAEM is a brand that we introduced on the site a while ago, and I positively fell in love with it. Their new Spring 2011 collection is no exception – I’m intrigued by what they’re doing and the path they’re taking… can’t wait to see more!
I think my favorite men’s pair is the final one (Brad in Pebble). The look is easy to wear for virtually every guy – not too slim, with great whisker detailing and an extremely flattering fade on the thigh – and the wash itself is just stunning. Pick your favorite!

So, we found out what my sickness was – Strep Throat. Yep, two days before Vegas and I get a shot of penicillin in my backside and have a six day cycle of steroids which, god willing, will clear up all of this craziness before I leave tomorrow morning.
But, that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little shopping fun today! Here are the best deals around the sample sale circuit for September 2nd:
- The guys can get some denim of their own with today’s William Rast sale over on Hautelook. For a looser, more casual fit, go True to Size.
- Affordable denim that’s priced even lower? Yep, that’s Blank NYC for you! This brand will be on ideeli today at 11am EST, and you should be able to score some stellar deals.
- There are no denim sample sales going on at Modnique, but they did release two great coupons that you guys should know about before their Labor Day sales: 10PERCENT gets you 10% off, no minimum purchase, or code FALL2010 for $10 off $100+ purchases. Both codes expire 10/31/2010.
Any sales I missed? Leave a comment and I’ll update the list.

Hey guys,
I decided it would be a super fun idea to get sick the past few days, so that combined with no internet means a very minimal amount of posts.
So, in an attempt to make amends, I decided to impart some double denim throwback – JP from sometime in the 80′s (vague guess suggests 1989. Can’t be positive though).
Just as a reminder – Double Denim is NOT okay, unless you’re three. I can’t believe I found this picture, though… where did the cuteness go?!?
I’ll try to get some more posts up tomorrow. Until then, enjoy your afternoon!
Love,
JP

We get the chance to catch a lot of fun and exciting brands around here, but every once in a while one slips past us and, when we find it, we’re filled with a renewed excitement.
That’s exactly how I feel about Pray for Mother Nature – a new line for Fall/Winter 2010.
Here’s a little detail, courtesy of their June press release:
Being environmentally conscious has become a way of life to many and the new denim brand “Pray for Mother Nature” is more than just eco-friendly. It was actually inspired by how the Japanese preserve nature and the environment.
“Pray for Mother Nature” is the brain child of Chip Foster, the other half of the wacky Chip and Pepper denim duo, and his with wife, Nicole Foster, who, during a recent trip to Japan were amazed how much the Japanese respect the environment.
And thus, the idea of having an eco-friendly jeans line made of the softest, lightweight denim was born and the naming the label “Pray for Mother Nature” was a natural step to take.
Launching a small collection for a fall/holiday 2010 delivery, Pray for Mother Nature features nine different silhouettes created from the best Japanese and Italian denim.
From body conscious styles like “Slick Rick,” “Who’s the Boss” and “Action Jackson,” extra slim legging jeans in 6 oz denim, to a bell jean, skinny and bootcut styles. Daring new silhouettes in the collection consist of “Nomi Malones,” a slouch harem pant and “It Doesn’t Suck,” a slouchy trouser style both offered in chambray, which is the it fabric for the season.
Colors range from indigo, lighter blue vintage washes, charcoal to olive. Price points are from $162 to $198. Pray for Mother Nature will be sold in better specialty boutiques and will be available for the Fall / Holiday 2010 season.
You can already get your hands on some of the styles at Shopbop.com. Share your thoughts about the line!

Through September 6, 2010, get your hands on an extra $25 off any GUESS Jeans (in-store only, guys!) by donating $5 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation at the store. That leaves you with a net $20 coupon AND you get to do your part to help end Breast Cancer once and for all!
What pair of jeans would you snag if you hit up the store? I’ve been in one recently (well, within the past two months which, let’s be honest, is about as recent as I’m going to get!) and saw a plethora of amazing pairs to swoon over!
Share with us if you decide to take part in this promotion – we love the idea and everything that it stands for (well-priced jeans AND philanthropy) – so we’d love to know how it worked out for you!
Love,
JP

Retail: $185.00
Discount: $55.50
Savings: 70%
I’m a huge ShopBop fan, so their sales always intrigue me. Whether or not you pair this with some jeans is your call – I’d choose a pair of leggings and some high heels for a dressy casual look that’s great for going out or Casual Fridays. After Kristy’s Charley 5.0 review, I definitely got a little more excited about the trend.
There are a ton of big markdowns on the site too, so I’d head over and check them out, even if you’re not a big denim shirt fan.
Love this style? Hate it? Share your thoughts in the comments!
Love,
JP
