Not So Regular Joe

I have always loved Joe’s Jeans for their authentic denim look and feel. You can see and touch the quality in the depth of their denim and in the simplicity of the design. As for fit, I have found them to run a little big but no worry, just buy a size down.

They were one of the first brands I can remember to debut their jegging, remember the topless ballerina ads?

I was very excited to learn that Joe’s will be opening not one, not two, but NINE outlet stores bringing the grand total to 13 nationwide with only 2 full price retail stores.  They are headquartered right in my backyard, Commerce, California, which makes samples sales conveniently exciting. And lucky for you Joe’s Jeans can soon be found at Premium Outlet Centers in California locations at both Carlsbad and Cabazon as well as Las Vegas, Seattle, Houston, Cincinnati, Wrentham, Massachusetts, Leesburg, Virginia and Dawsonville, Georgia…(kind of random). For more details and exciting news you can read the full story here.

Blue Day

I realize Friday usually calls for blue jean Friday, but seeing as it is raining today and also that it is perhaps the worst day of my entire life (not joking) I will call today blue day, or better yet just blue. I am blue. The sky is (not) blue, it is actually quite gray and gloomy which ordinarily I enjoy but not today. 

It is my fault I am sad but it still doesn’t make it go away. I do not want to do anything. Apologies for the lack of stimulating text, but for today here are some things that usually work to cheer me up…just not today!

Happy Friday!

We’re All Mad Here!

Quite possibly my all time favorite quote from Alice In Wonderland, which is bold to say because there are many profound quotes from this Disney classic.

While Tim Burton’s rendition of Alice In Wonderland doesn’t hit theaters for another month, uuggh, this highly anticipated movie is already being used to market the heck out of every angle the industry can manage. And there are a lot of angles. From what I can tell you can pretty much put Alice and some combination of mushrooms, teapots, and widely confusing quotes on just about any product and it will sell.

Some of favorites so far include the character items several lust worthy brands have put forth, including Urban Decay cosmetics and OPI nail polish.

OPI Nail Polish minis in Absolutely Alice, Off With Her Red, Thanks So Muchness, and Mad As A Hatter, $10

Mad Hatter wallet, $18

Charm necklace, $35

Urban Decay book of shadows, $54

You’d be mad not to at least check these out…

Celebrity Pink on the Red Carpet

I’ve talked about this budding starlet here before,  I guess Sammi Hanratty must be a favorite of mine.

She hit the red carpet last Wednesday evening, January 27th  for the premier of When In Rome at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood in an adorable pair of Celebrity Pink front seam jeggings. I feel like she’s growing up by the minute! She already looks older than the last time I saw her which was only in December.

Not too sure how I feel about this movie though, Kristen Bell is somewhat annoying and the billboards of her biting her nails are just irritating. I think I might have to skip this box office flop on the big screen, I can wait till DVD.

Any thoughts?

Fur Real

It seems that fur has become the latest fashion controversy in many respects. From major retailers to figure skaters, yes I said figure skaters, there has been much debate between faux and for real fur and the media is taking notice. I have recently taken a much greater interest in the conception of food and where it actually comes from/ goes through to get to us, i.e. I am officially grossed out (and therefore vegetarian).

I love the look of fur but could never wear a real animal…I mean that’s just wrong! So with fur coming fully back in to trend, what are your thoughts on faux versus real fur? Would you wear a dead animal?

I’m just saying, let the little guy live his furry life in nature as God intended. Give Forever21 a little business and buy faux.

Heart-attack

Apparently me and my one-track mind are still in an all out Valentine’s Day mood with nothing more than lovey thoughts on the brain. So here’s another sweetly detailed item to get you in the Vday mood. 

While shooting the Celebrity Pink Fall 2010 preview lookbook last week I absolutely fell in love with these heart pocket jeans by Celebrity Pink. They fit like a glove and hug the body in all the right places. The ultra stretchy fabric work with the heart pockets to accent both the back and front and add flattering lines to contour to your rear. These jeans come in two washes, appropriately named, heart breaker medium and heart breaker charcoal.

While they’re not yet in stores, I’m already thinking of a way to get my hands on a couple pairs to give away to a few lucky readers, be sure to check back in a couple weeks!

Have a great weekend!

Eco-friendlier

I would say an overall theme of the last decade was a broadened awareness of our environment and the detriment we are doing with our superfluous lifestyles. This consciousness is vital to the continued existence of our world as we know it. Which is why it is always refreshing to find our favorite places, brands, people, etc are doing their part to live eco-friendly.

A growing trend in the travel arena is eco-friendly hotels, so when I booked our recent trip to Cabo San Lucas I was more than elated to learn that our resort of choice was doing their part to help the environment too. The Esperanza Resort prides themselves in practicing an earth-friendly policy of responsible luxury.

So while the catered amenities were beyond luxurious (think fresh fruit brought poolside, welcome margaritas, and a private concierge) the entire resort was designed in such a way that the elegance does not forfeit the careful energy and water usage. They not only practice green living but also support the community by using local products, services, and even companies.

I like to think I was being eco-minded just by staying there!
