There are many perks to writing for Denim Debutante’s CelebStyle – writing about celebs...looking at cute jeans…finding awesome deals for readers…looking at cute jeans…getting to be funny (trying, anyway)…looking at cute jeans. Well, you get the picture.
Anyway, after seeing Rose Huntington Whiteley in the MiH (Made in Heaven) Breathless Skinny Jeans in Pinetop over and over and over again, I decided I had to give them a go. Fate played right into my hands as I was able to acquire them causing very little pain to my budget (it has a high pain tolerance).
This being the first time I had tried MiH – of course – it came with sizing growing pains. Ok – here is the story. After consulting the higher power (duh, Jaime of course) I decided to go with my true size. Upon receiving them, they seemed on the small side, so I requested the next size up to try as well. But, the next size up just lost something in the fit and look and felt all wrong. So back to the true size I went. But, I had to be sure so…
I wore them all weekend (gross, I know, but necessary in the interest of full denim clarity) and sure enough, they passed the ultimate test. Yep, you guessed it, I got the “butt check out” seal of approval in various locations – BAM – new favorite skinny… Yeah, that just happened.
Oh, and they are comfortable as all get out and soft as any ole kittens butt…
Love, Paula

Degaine Deep Ocean Moto Jeans
Retail: $169.00
Price: $29.69
Discount: 83%
Oh, how I love Degaine. LOVE Degaine. And I love it even more at a super discount. Overstock has these jeans listed at way below their retail price (they are really bad at that, to be honest. I always have to hunt down real retail prices!) and they’re stocked up with a really wide range of sizes (right now from 25-31).
Go true to size in these (thanks to the Denim Sizing Guide!) and feel free to grab a size 26 for me!
Love,
JP

Get both Stitch’s and Calvin Klein Jeans today at 11am EST on ideeli. We’re big Stitch’s fans here (and reader/contributor Sandy loves their women’s line!) and I expect the prices for Calvin Klein jeans to be heavenly.
Don’t miss Gilt Groupe today at 12pm EST, when you can score some James Jeans! I highly recommend the Reboot (check out my James Jeans outfit post featuring them!) for virtually every body shape.
New site Aviesta has Bleulab jeans (a big favorite over on Celeb Style) on sale today. They’re all listed for $49.99 – a great deal for reversible denim (twice the pairs for a quarter of the price).
Get William Rast jeans for men and women today at 11am EST on Hautelook. While you’re there, check out the Ella Moss sale, too – I love their jersey knits!
Not denim, but Plenty by Tracy Reese is a stellar brand for adorable dresses (I wore a Plenty dress to my college graduation), and you can shop huge discounts today at 12pm EST on MyHabit.
Any sales I missed? Leave a comment and let me know!
Love,

Per usual, I didn’t take nearly enough pictures of my trip. But, we spent a wonderful morning today at Zingerman’s Roadhouse (holy crap, mac and cheese. And sweet potato fries!), so between the fun family pictures and a few pretty food shots (specifically my Torre di Cannoli from Gratzi in Ann Arbor), I wanted to give you a quick little glimpse into my trip.
Love,

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!
Love,

What I’m wearing:
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!
