Sav Style - Rich & Skinny Bikini Flares
To say that I am feeling the new skinny flares that are in style right now doesn't cover it. As I look back at my flares of previous seasons I realize that the new shape of flares is so much more flattering. Instead of the pant leg being full from top to bottom, the current emphasis is on a skinny upper leg which bellows out at the ankle.
I might be a little late to sign up for the Rich & Skinny fanclub but I am here now. The Bikini Flares in Sunkist are vintage 70's inspired with all the pluses of modern day fabric and styling. These feel like the comfy jeggings we all came to love last year 98% cotton and 2% elastin they are light and have the right amount of stretch. The denim is lightweight and the feel is really worn in without being falling apart. The rise is 7" which for me is perfect the elastin in the denim is great because they fit nicely at the waist and don't squeeze you. The fit is snug from waistband to just above the knee and then these jeans are breakout flares. I really like the placement of the back pockets on these and aging of the denim is natural and doesn't look "done". The hem is great I like that is it worn and again kudos to R&S for making this processing appear "natural". I really feel like these jeans could of been on a classic Charlie's Angels episode, they are a perfect example of updating a vintage look with contemporary fabrics and styling. They fit true to size, in fact when I first slipped them on I had that feeling like I found my favorite pair of jeans that had been lost.
Retailing at $198.00 the Rich & Skinny Bikini Flares are worth the investment. Flares are always going to be in fashion at one time or another. The benefits of having minimal decoration on jeans is the ability to fly undercover on multiple wears over years. This 5 pocket classic jean is just that, a classic jean that will be in style for years to come.
Miley Cyrus In Vintage Levi's
Miley Cyrus was snapped wearing a pair of vintage Levi's 684 flared jeans whilst leaving leaving Panera Bread in Studio City with friends last week. How can you tell they are vintage Levi's you may ask, after all in these photos there are no real distinguishing marks on the jeans. Well on this occasion I was lucky enought to get a tip off from the person that actually sold the jeans to Miley. It only seems fair that I give the store in question a little plug in return (not that one was asked for), so if you want to get yourself some classic original Levi's like Miley's, then head over to Chuck's Vintage on Melrose Ave where they sell a truly amazing selection of vintage Levi's, Wrangler and Lee's from the 40s/50s/60s/70s.

Gracing the pages of so many magazines right now, Rhoda will be wearing the famous Hope Diamond (in a new setting) in the documentary, "Mystery of the Hope Diamond" which airs in November.
Vintage Cowboys In Denim
Despite the fact that these days everyone from supermodels to Presidents wears denim these days I don't think anyone has ever quite looked as cool as the cowboys that appear in these vintage photos from Life magazine. (Source: TheSelvedgeYard)
