We thought it might be fun to post a poll - let’s hear from you! What brand of jeans are you asking Santa for this holiday season? Vote!

We love this little 7 for All Mankind denim smock dress! It could be very cute over a turtleneck and tights with boots for winter time too! On sale for just $74 at Tobi.com!

in new brands and things we hate.

If you want a laugh, check out SchultzJeans.com. We normally try to be nice, but this is just comical to us.
From their website:
“Thanks to the revolutionary new Schultz strap*, there’s a whole new way of wearing jeans. If you like your jeans low-slung or even open at the fly, the Schultz strap keeps your jeans on and your hands free from constantly hitching them up. Worn at the front on the inside of the jeans, the Schultz strap gives sufficient support to even allow you to wear your Schultz jeans with the fly open, displaying your new designer Schultz underwear (and anything else you may feel like showing off!)”
Ahem, okay, forgive us, but WHO wears their jeans open at the fly in order to show off their junk?! Hello?! Just buy jeans that aren’t too big and they won’t fall down! This website mostly sells underwear but now they have jeans with matching underwear and the “Schultz Strap” you can buy too.
Are we the only ones who think this is hilariously funny? Or would you guys out there actually buy these?

New, on Nordstrom.com, we spotted these 7 for All Mankind Wool Pocket Bootcut jeans. What do you think of the back pockets? We are on the fence…

in deal of the day and diesel jeans.

We LOVE this jacket. Green is our editor’s fave, and this color of Army green looks good on nearly everyone. Diesel’s Ivlambra Jacket is only $120 on sale at Revolve! Limited sizes left! And it looks great paired with a cute pair of skinny jeans!

It’s not often that Rock & Republic jeans go on sale, and we spotted these R&R Studded Vato Jeans and jumped to get the credit card. They have a unique back pocket style and are $210 on sale (down from $285).

As if Size 23 women didn’t have it good enough - hello, you are a size 23, biatch! Just kidding (from our editor, Size 29). :) Now there is ClubSkinny.com - specializing in jeans for girls size 23-27. We get why this company exists, but what do you think of the jeans?

From the New York Post
‘$200M KNOCKOFF’ BUSTS
By KATI CORNELL
December 6, 2007 — At the height of the holiday shopping season, the feds busted 10 members of an international smuggling ring trying to sneak more than $200 million in designer knockoffs into the city from China, officials said yesterday.
Prosecutors said the ring paid $500,000 in bribes to an undercover agent, believing they were dealing with a corrupt union official who could help get the shipments past security.
The ring shipped at least 100 cargo containers stuffed with fake Chanel and Coach bags, Nike sneakers and designer jeans - in some cases labeling the boxes as “noodles” - from ports in China to New Jersey, the feds allege.
Announcing the arrests yesterday, US Attorney Michael Garcia called the yearlong investigation by the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement “one of the largest counterfeit smuggling cases ever brought in United States history.”
“It is always deeply troubling when a criminal enterprise seeks to circumvent our port security, whatever the form of contraband and wherever the point of entry,” Garcia said.
