Check out this article from this month’s InStyle Magazine featuring actress Sophia Bush, a self-proclaimed “expert in Jeanetic theory”. I have to admit, the fact that she buys multiples of the same pair of jeans, hems them, and then categorizes and labels them by length (L for Long, S for Short) does qualify her as a denim lover for sure! Love her favorite picks too – including J Brand’s Lovestory jeans.
Britney Spears was spotted on April 20th in a classic white t-shirt and a pair of Levi’s. What do you think of her casual look? Even celebs are being spotted in Levi’s more lately instead of designer jeans…hmm.

Distressed denim was featured in the latest issue of Elle magazine. I love distressed denim but sometimes it can go too far. For example, Destroyed Brand takes distressing to an extreme. I don’t care that Britney Spears wore a pair in her music video – they are just too much!
A few notches down on the distressed scale are True Religion’s Bobby jeans in Death Valley Medium and their Joey jean in Mo-Fo. Still distressed but not too crazy.
If you want a bit more distressing in a pair of True Religions, check out the Joey jean in Destroyed – definitely more rock n’ roll but not hideous like the Destroyed Brand jeans.
The most wearable version of the trend, and my favorite is 7 For All Mankind’s Flare jean in Havana 2 wash – a little distressing here and there, pulled out stitches and a cut out tag on the back pockets. The Havana 2’s have just the right amount of distressing to be cool, but not so much that it looks like you attacked your jeans with a pair of scissors!
What do you think of this trend? Would you go for the super destroyed look or the more subtly distressed look?

HAPPY EARTH DAY!
I’ll be the first one to admit that denim trends move so quickly that I can barely keep up at times. This past year alone we’ve all experienced the skinny leg, the wide leg, high-waisted denim and even colored denim. With all these crazy trends you can never be too sure what trends will have staying power. So what’s a person to do? No need to be blue, in honor of Earth Day today – why not go green?
Eco-Friendly denim is good for the environment for several reasons: it’s easier to dispose of when you want to get rid of your old denim, and the dyes are safer for the earth. During my quest to find environmentally conscience brands, I found this great guide about how to recycle your old denim. Here are some truly amazing environmentally friendly brands that I want to share:
J Brand Green Label. These jeans are not only environmentally friendly, but they come in a super cute organic tote bag. The bag features tips on how to live a more environmentally conscience lifestyle. Sounds like a great idea, people need to how to change their lifestyles and not just what they wear. J Brand Green Label Monroe jeans, $227 at Singer22
James Jeans’ use four eco-friendly denim techniques: they use only 100 percent organic cotton, organic dyes to color their jeans, natural latex to keep them waterproof, and organic olive leaf extract used during the finishing process.
Greencaste by Earnest Sewn is using techniques like air-drying jeans, replacing detergents with natural surfactants, and eliminating all resins from the 3-D finishing process.
Levi’s, Hollywood’s new ‘it’ jean, have come out with a new Eco line. Levi’s with the lowercase “e” are made from 100 percent organic cotton and recycled buttons, rivets, and zippers.
I know we are a Denim Blog, but since it’s Earth Day I figured, why the heck not!
The beautiful Kate Hudson was photographed for a new ad campaign for a line of earth friendly hair care products, David Babii for Wild Aid. Wild Aid aims to end illegal wildlife trade within our lifetime. Hudson’s hair care line will donate 10% of all profits to Wild Aid. Do you like to purchase products like this that are earth-friendly and do good for charity organizations?
Rock & Republic has come out with a bunch of new washes – here are the good, the bad, and the what-the-hell-were-they-thinking! Your thoughts on the new washes?
Cosbie in Reaction Level Blue – Rock and Republic Official Store - this one is the “what-the-hell-were-they-thinking” wash! Rainbow, really?!?!
Berlin in Catalyst – Rock and Republic Official Store - this wash looks like a fake straight outta the 80’s!
Kasandra in Ruthless Bolt – Rock and Republic Official Store - Nice!
Ruby in Cappio Classic Blue – Rock and Republic Official Store - Very 70’s but nice!
Vetter in Infinity Mix – Rock and Republic Official Store - I don’t love this one…
Jaguar in Modest – Rock and Republic Official Store - not bad!
Kasandra in Society Blue – Rock and Republic Official Store - a bit light for my taste but not bad!
What do you think of these new designs?
