Den.M Bar Part 2

06.22.2012 Posted in denimblog by Chanelle

I give you part two of my Den.m Bar experience…the fitting (for part 1 go here). It was a short and simple process, but none the less a fun experience. As you can see in the photos, they brought my pants out almost finished, but not quite, which I found interesting because it gave you an idea of how jeans are constructed. I tried on my jeans in the the fitting room, pinning the waistband to my liking and headed out to be tailored by Zach once again.

15 Beach Essentials For Summer

06.06.2012 Posted in denim trends by Chanelle

The weather is starting to warm up which means enjoying long days relaxing at the beach, in the warm sun and crisp sea water. I’ve put together a list of 15 essentials for your beach trips this Summer to help you look great while taking care of yourself too. You’re going to be nice and tanned after, so why not go to the beach in a sun-kissed look? I’ve provided a great bronzer, mascara and lip balm for a natural, glowing look.

We all know the beach isn’t the best place for your hair and skin so I listed the Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray to encourage those beachy waves at the beach and a masque for after. As for your skin, the Hawaiian Tropics Silk Hydration SPF lotion will protect your skin and also moisturize it. Don’t worry, it’s not oily whatsoever and leaves a nice glow on your skin. Don’t forget your nails! A clean mani and pedi is one of the best accessories you can take with you to the beach.

Lastly, I’ve put together a solid list of fashion forward items to wear to the beach. A cover up, shorts or a vest will all work perfectly over this hot floral one piece by Insight. So throw all these rad items in your chic denim beach tote and have a great time at the beach!
