Fashion Spotlight:
In the Jeans


Jeans, probably the only item of clothing that will never go out of style. No matter what style, cut, or colour (even stonewash!), they have that incredibly ability to look amazing. So lets look at some of the best jean moments of 2009, and where you can pick them up for a fraction of the cost:

Unique and Shorts:

Ashley Tisdale had 2 of my greatest jean moments last year. The first being these incredible custom made splatter ripped jeans. They are headline grabbing, and not over done, or over ripped. These are perfect to be seen jeans. The second was this awesome pair of cut off denim shorts. Ashley had a real balmain feel with the rest off the outfit, and shorts worked wonders, I love how the pockets stick out!

Ashley's: $179.00 (Premium Paige Jeans)
My Pick: $62.89

Ashley's: $288.00 ( Erin Wasson X RVCA Lover Cut-Off Denim Shorts)
My Pick: $19.99

Classic:

There is one particular style of jean, that is always perfect to pull out for any outfit. That is the classic slightly flarred 5 pocket jeans. They can be worn by anyone, with absolutly anything. One person who knows this is Miley Cyrus, who wore these 7 for all mankind jeans, at a press junket for Hannah Montana in Rome.

Miley's: $215.00 (7 For All Mankind "A" Pocket in Vintage Honolulu)
My Pick: $27.80 (I have picked a slightly darker wash, as I think this will suit more skintones)

Denim Legging aka Jeggings:

Thie year, the legging were given a reinvention in the form of the denim legging, or to give it it's official name - the jegging (tad silly I know, can you guess what tregging is?). I have seen some really well done denim leggings this year, but my fav have got to be Current Elliott, a prime choice among celebrities. My favourite look I have seen with these is Sarah Michelle Gellar, who teamed them with a black loose fit top, and a smart jacket. You wouldn't think she only just gave birth a few weeks ago, she looks amazing!

Sarah's: $198 (Current/Elliott-The Legging Jean)
My Pick: $19.99

The Super, The So-So, and The Seriously Should Think Again:

The Super

Miley looks so stunning and sophsicated in these pictures taken from the February issue of 2010 Harper's Bazaar. The dress is so perfect for her, and make her look grown up. I love it.


The So-So

This was on ok sort of dress, I just felt it possibly was a little bit ageing and the skirt portion of the dress with a bit oversized.


The Seriously Should Think Again

What I didnt really like about this outfit was, there were far too many colours, didn't didnt really work together. And the dress is not doing anything for me.
