Work Custom Jeans S/S 2011 Video Lookbook
Sav Style - Frankie B. Sequin Jeans
With the Holidays upon us there is no better way to dress up this season than in Frankie B. Jet Bff Sequin Jeans. Known for their sexy, slim fitting jeans these are made of an incredibly soft cotton infused with sequins (in a manner that is more built to last than fabrics I've seen in the past) and a great choice for an evening out. In keeping with the fit of the Frankie B. Bff leggings these have a great amount of stretch in them and a 7 3/4" front rise and a 31" inseam, not too high and not too low.
To be honest this was a last minute photo shoot as there was a break in the Los Angeles rain storm and we dashed outside to take some pictures! My choice was a cut up mens t-shirt and leather jacket with the highest heels I have in my closet! I would wear this outfit on a night out and did to a holiday party the other night. The fit is "friendly" without being too tight or cut too skinny on the leg they bunch nicely at the ankle for those of us who aren't super tall. For day wear I'd love to pair these with a Sex Pistols t-shirt and some Converse, the fabric is definitely light and durable enough to be worn casually.
I'm on winter break for a few weeks which means time to get caught up on reviews, entries and the excel sheet that I am supposed to keep updated of my reviews and I forget to do. I wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday, thanks for all your kind comments, homework help and all the brands that have been so kind to me.
The Frankie B. Sequin Bff leggings reviewed here are available on the online for $174.00.

Lauren Conrad in Frankie B. Mid-Rise Jeans
Lauren Conrad was spotted out in L.A. wearing my latest obsession the hot mid-rise jean! These are Frankie B. Mid-Rise Jeans in Raw which are worn perfectly with a loose top tucked in at the front and platforms. The Frankie B. "FB101" Mid-Rise in Raw wash, has the fit and comfort of their top selling leggings with a more flare leg and adjusted rise (8.5" front and 12" back). I love LC's style!
Savannah Style - J Brand "Maria" Jeans
On my first day off from school this year I was fortunate enough to be able to visit the J Brand factory and spend some time with their Design and PR team. As I was shown what J Brand has coming up we all thought it would be fun to do some quick review shots and I absolutely fell in love with the high waisted J Brand "Maria " Jeans in Starless. I find high-waisted jeans can be a little hit and miss and had never felt that they were the jean for me, that was until I slipped these on. Not being fully prepared to do a photo shoot I was thrilled to swap some clothes with the staff and understand how best to wear looks the "J Brand" way (the shirt I'm wearing is from Jeff Rudes shirt line and they are lucky I didn't run off wearing it!).
Now to the fit of these jeans... this fabric is called power stretch denim and that is the perfect name as it fits like a glove and then some. With a 9" rise and a skin tight fit from top to bottom I have to admit I felt pretty bad-ass in these. I had always shied away from a high-waisted skinny jean until now because I was self conscious about how I looked from behind but because J Brand is all about the fit, the fit and the fit - I had nothing to worry about. The classic denim coloring with the tan stitching gives an almost vintage look, but make no mistake these are not your "Mom's Jeans".
While at the factory I saw many different girls wearing these jeans from thin to fuller figures, conservative styled to vintage/punk and they all looked great. If one has to draw conclusions to how J Brand has risen to the top of the denim industry it is the knack for knowing their customer, recognizing elegance lies in simplicity and ensuring that every pair that leaves the warehouse is up to J Brand standards. This means that each measurement must be consistent in each pair of jeans and yes I did meet the lady who measures each single pair of jeans before they are shipped. That is what I call attention to detail!
The J Brand "Maria" High Waisted Jeans reviewed here are available online for $198.00.
