Celebs Heart Jeans

Happy Election Day!! Hope everyone voted today in this historic election – I know I was there bright & early at 7:30! Now that you’ve picked your winning candidate, let’s chat jeans:

You know how you have your favorite pair of jeans? No matter how many pairs you own – three or 10 (ok, I plead the fifth) – you always go back to that one pair again and again. Of course, time passes and they become so ragged and frayed you can’t bare to wear them anymore…so you adopt a new fav pair. And so on.

Celebs are the same way! They’re just like us – they love their fav jeans. Check out Kim Kardashian’s wide leg version (Sunset style, Iceland wash – $238) and Leighton Meester’s skinny pair (Roxanne style, Mercer wash – $155) each in their Seven for all Mankind, a much-loved label by celebs and fashionistas alike. I must admit, I absolutely adore Sevens! Since I bought my first pair, there’s been no going back. Kim’s lighter pair is a fresh way to change up your jean wardrobe and the pockets on the front are a nice accent, while Leighton’s darker style is great for day and night (so cute with the cropped jacket, too!) Trust me, if you ever try on a pair of Sevens, you’ll fall in love. It’s that simple. Great for girls who want to accentuate those curves (I call them my “good butt jeans.”)

Dylan George is another popular line with celebs like Brooke Burke, and rising label to watch (the next “it” jean, I’m telling you right here). Based out of LA, these jeans are super-cute and I just looove the signature Z pocket detail. Brooke’s wearing the Alexandra Flare style in Merchant wash ($265). These aren’t your average jeans (no, you don’t say Julie? do you see the price?) – they’re finely tailored and soft to the touch so you can tell they’re made very well. The price of jeans has definitely gone up the last few years (as it seems everything else has too), but if you’re going to shell out money for an item, jeans are it. Remember how you always gravitate towards your fav pair in the closet? A $200 pair of jeans is really less than a dollar a day! Now isn’t that totally worth it?
