Work Custom Jeans Fall/Winter 2011
My first weekend of summer was spent with friends shooting the Work Custom Jeans Fall Lookbook and as Fall is now upon us it is time to finally roll this editorial and video out. Our team was photographer Dylan Jet (who I've known since 4th grade) model Paris Duff - one of the nicest people you will ever meet,Trevor Wolfe and Vanessa Dubasso made this one of the best days.
It goes without saying that I'm a Work Custom Jeans fan and I've converted many friends at this point including the guys. Yes, Trevor is wearing WCJ and wears them all the time (of note is those are Forever 21 shorts he's wearing and their his). I so love the faux leather Leggera and the wine color is a perfect addition to the color palette. Work Custom is classic with a twist I never tire of the jeans and feel that there is no trend I'm falling into when I wear them.
This will always serve as a time capsule for me of good times with friends, a world in flux and navigating my role in life.

Connie Style - Hudson Nico Skinny Jeans
After my last review of Hudson bootcut jeans I was excited to be offered the chance to review the latest addition to their collection, the 'Nico' Skinny.
This style is Hudson's skinniest 5 pocket to date and is inspired by Nico, the singer and Andy Warhol muse. Upon trying on these beauties I was instantly converted. They are such a great fit with a really comfortable fabric despite the extreme skinny fit. They are a mix of cotton, tencel, rayon and lyrca which creates a soft and fine fabric making them almost like leggings rather than jeans.
These are a mid rise fit which usually doesn't work out too well for me due to my waist to hip ratio, but these actually fit really nicely. They are soft and accommodating enough that they don't dig into my hip bones in the same way that most mid rise styles do. A major plus from my point of view!! The leg has a 10inch opening so they are super tight and great for tucking into boots or for wearing with sandals or heels.
These are a great jean for most occasions as the dark wash makes them smart enough to wear from day through to evening. They can be dressed down with flats and slouchy tops or dressed up with killer heels and a smart jacket and are perfect for that transitional day to night look.
The pockets on these are really flattering and the colour wash also creates a very slimming approach. They run very true to size, these ones being a 26 which is my usual and is bang on.
I can't actually think of any negative points on these! Even after washing the dye has stayed really strong and there are no signs of fading at all.
