J Brand COATED DENIM & 'Green with Envy' ...Tres Chic, Tres Cool!

Hi and happy Monday

It's so humid here in Melbourne....like Queensland. 

That doesn't mean you can't be cool in J Brands latest offering of coated Denim (or the comfy, fun brights).  Last week my article featured J Brand Brights.  This week is the follow up as promised, plus Green with Envy.

These skinny, mid waisted, coated denim jeans are hot - especially for those of you on the slimmer side.  Like any skinny jean, unless you're really tall, they are probably best on anyone up to a size 12.  There are exceptions of course.  Check these out....

 
They look awesome on the right figure.  They remind me of Elle MacPherson, working skin tight leather jeans with a white tee and a pair of sky high Jimmy Choos at the launch of Britain's Next Top Model.....


I love the simplicity of this look.  When you wear jeans like these, don't go overly glam on make up or accessories.  Keep it simple and don't wear cheap shoes.  It's a bad look at the best of times!

Top and bottom?

You either wear lovely ballet flats OR get yourself into a fabulous pair of high heels. A stacked or fine heel would be key for night time. No wedges please - it's the wrong balance.  Wear these sexy jeans with a blousey top or tee - nothing too tight or sexy on top.  Pretty them up - balance is key!  Then, top off your look with a structured or unstructured blazer.

Did I mention they come in colours..


So where do you get these babies?? Ring (07) 55917233 for your nearest stockist

HOTTEST Legs IN TOWN... by J Brand.

Hello

It's great to be back ...my neck is so long I look like a swan!

Today's article has been in my head for some time.  It's all about J Brand and the fabulous Denim they have on offer. Think FASHION - Think J Brand!

An article by Cathy Horyn in the New York Times earlier this year sings the praises of this colourful denim offer in contrast to it's competitors.  In it, Jeff Rudes the founder of J Brand, is quoted as saying 'most people don't get that we are interpreting fashion through a jean...'  He went on to say, when he was walking past the window of Jil Sander and saw a hot pink suit and (although the jeans were already in production) he pushed the speed button to get them into store.  They sold like hot cakes...

Made from a beautiful Japanese twill with 2% spandex they are perfect for Summer and so much fun.

Check out the colours...



For Who

These jeans are not for the faint hearted.  So who do they suit?

A skinny, slim to average sized girl - especially if you're tall.  Not for ladies over 40 years of age (there are exceptions of course).  Hilary looks gorgeous in hers....and I have no idea how old she is...


How to wear them?

These cuties can be worn with Flat Sandals - embellished with sequins, studs & stones OR a Jesus style in natural tones.  You can also dress them up for dinner and clubbing with a fantastic heel - chunky, stacked or fine heeled is good.  But not a big wedge - it doesn't work (in my opinion)

Try something like this for support and fabulosity.....From Gorman.
\ 
Wear a funky,cool tank, sexy sheer blouse or floaty top (if you're feeling a little bloated)  If it's chilly, top off your look with an unstructured blazer.  Tres Chic!


AND...

J Brand have just released their 'coated' styles in Australia.  Here's a little idea of what to look forward to...


It seems J Brand is the hottest denim brand on the market.  With the Australian division wearing the American dollar, you can try these babies on and buy them for just about the same price.

See you soon,
