Aleks Style - DL1961 Angel Ankle Jeans in Sherbet
Denimology 21 May 2012, 7:33 pm CEST
Hi everyone! It's time for my next review and today it's going to be about DL1961 Angel Ankle Jeans in Sherbet wash. The jeans have two faux front pockets, patch back pockets and are made with 55% Cotton and 45% Polyester. The best thing about the Angel is that it's a 4-way stretch jean. They are made using patented XFIT technology fabric that adapts to the body shape and gives an excellent comfort and fit. Because they are crafted exclusively with 4-way stretch XFIT LYCRA it means they will not sag, bag or lose shape creating the perfect-fitting jeans. DL1961 says that the jeans are 360C comfort and I have to agree with that. I felt very comfortable wearing them and the mid-rise measuring to 8.5 inches was perfect on me. They are indeed very soft, stretchy and fit very well.
Angel is ankle jean so the leg length is 29 inches with split seam at bottom hem. Perfect for spring and summer with your high heels or even casual high tops for every day look.
The only downside for me was that they are a bit wider at the hem and I am not very keen on this kind of jean style. They still look quite good with high tops and high heels that I tried them on with. However, I wouldn't wear them with flats or ballerina shoes.
The good thing is that the jeans come in lovely pastel colours including soft green Key Lime, pale yellow Meringue, light blue Icing and peach Sherbet. It's all about pastels this season and these jeans are perfect to hit the trend. I absolutely loved the peach wash that I was wearing and I had no trouble styling the jeans.
Thanks for reading my review! For more photos and details visit my blog on jeliza-rose.blogspot.com.

What did Cody have to say to the mag? Here's a little tidbit.
Ask fifteen-year-old Australian pop phenom Cody Simpson to explain the inspiration for Paradise, his debut album, out in August (an EP, Preview to Paradise, drops in June), and the answer is simple: "Girls.""I don't really write about anything else," he says with a Down Under lilt so dreamy, it's sparked a smattering of fan pages, including "I Love Cody Simpson's Accent." "As a teenager, it's all that's on my mind. I mean, what else would be? Girls and music. When you combine the two, you get music about girls."

Erica Style- James Jeans Couture Skinny
Denimology 19 May 2012, 1:23 pm CEST

Tapping my fingers on the keyboard, wondering how I should represent James Jeans Couture Skinny 1285 in Matte Black, I realize I am having difficulties because this particular pair of denim is just that divine! When first receiving the package, the denim was wrapped in a beautiful blue jean bag. The touch was so nice that I knew that what was inside was going to get even better!
Immediately pulling out the denim, I see the richest, most exquisite black denim I have ever seen. The color was not faded and reminded me of the black you would expect in a fine eye liner or men's black suit. First looking at these jeans, I thought that they would run small. After pulling them on, however, I recognized that James Jeans simply held true to the trimming and slimming that they promise on their website. PERFECTION! They never fell down, nor rode up anywhere unnecessary. I did not experience the loathed camel-toe, or a wedgie for the bootie endowed. The pocket lining was pin-striped on the inside and the pockets had a slightly padded lining in them. I would assume to accentuate anyone's hinny big or small. Overall, I felt extremely sexy in these jeans. I enjoyed them so much; I'm planning to wear them out for my second wedding anniversary with my husband next weekend!

The Couture Skinny is 98% cotton and 2% power lycra. I completely LOVE that they are made here in the United States! Care instructions state to wash machine cold, tumble dry low. Do not bleach, and use a warm iron if necessary. My personal recommendation would also be to turn the denim inside out to keep that stunning black its blackest.
Thank you, James Jeans, for granting me this incredible opportunity to review and represent your brand. I would like to give a special thank you to Nina, from James Jeans, as she was so helpful, kind and willing to give me a chance. I sincerely am grateful and hope that we can review more denim from James Jeans in the future!
I would like to thank VMAC Photography for my photos. VMAC Photography can also be found on facebook. Roni represented this denim intricately. She takes tender care with each photo and it shows! A sincere thank you for your time and efforts spent! I would like to recommend VMAC Photography to anyone, if you happen to be in or around the Tampa Bay area!
Thank you Denimology readers for following my reviews and giving me feedback! You may also follow me @EricaGrecco on twitter, so please do! ...All are welcome! I appreciate all of you so much. I will see you all next review! Love you all! xo
Jen Style - True Religion Carrie Love & Haight Flares
Denimology 18 May 2012, 7:56 pm CEST
Coachella might be in our rear view mirror, but these rad jeans from True Religion make me feel like I'm off to the festival in the desert. True Religion has always been a fave denim brand for me - the brand just exudes coolness and complete sex appeal. I've been patiently waiting to review their denim here on Denimology, so you can imagine my excitement when I received these Carrie Love & Haight Bell Bottom jeans in Falling Leaf.
There really has never been a pair of True Religion jeans that I've been disappointed with. The fit is always flattering and the denim itself is of the highest quality. These jeans were no exception. I will say the doubled denim on the ankles of the jeans took me a few minutes to get used to, but once I tried the jeans on, I fell instantly in love. Bell bottoms are my favorite style of jean, and these jeans are so 70's boho - they are so reminiscent of Kate Hudson in the movie "Almost Famous." Wouldn't you agree?
The inseam was perfect for my 5'10 self. I wore some 5" Jeffrey Campbell clogs and the jeans still managed to cover up the majority of my shoes. The 7" front rise is very typical of True Religion's classic style - laid back and comfy. The 12" back rise helps make up for the lower front rise. These jeans are 100% cotton, so no real stretch to them. This can pose a problem for anyone that varies in size depending on brand. I definitely recommend either trying these on prior to purchase, or buying two different sizes (what you normally wear and a size up).
Although I'm a sucker for True Religion's flap button back pockets, these back pockets are just as nice and flattering for the tush. True Religion's pocket placement is always flattering on a number of different body types.
The wash of this denim is perfection. Love a great dark indigo with fading and whiskering in all the right places! The hippie-esque patches and handcrafted hardware are so appropriate for the style and name of the jean. The "bells" of these jeans are also perfect. They flare out nicely from the knees.
Overall I was smitten with these jeans. True Religion always designs awesome denim with superb quality. These jeans are an instant fave for me, and their tonal denim patching at the ankles separates them from a lot of bell bottoms that are currently out on the market. If you're looking for a great bell bottom jean that has great quality and some uniqueness, I would definitely recommend this pair by True Religion.
P.S. If you're a fan of TR, then definitely check out their F/W 2012 Women's Lookbook HERE! The denim will make you drool!
The Carrie Love & Haight Bell Bottom jeans in Falling Leaf reviewed here are available to buy online from TrueReligion.com.
One Teaspoon F/W 2012 Lookbook
Denimology 18 May 2012, 5:58 pm CEST
One Teaspoon named this collection "The Lovecats" - and continue to rock their amazing cut-offs and shorts, giving them new washes and detailing. Don't you just love how they paired these shorts above with the long wool stockings and black sweater! Perfect way to take your shorts into the fall. And I also have to point out their flares. Nobody does them like One Teaspoon. They make them super super skinny on the whole leg and only let them flare almost at the ankle. They are suggesting you wear them super long, dragging on the floor and giving it all a quite casual look. I don't know how this will work in fall or even winter, but what the heck - it's summer now and I say go for it! I am dragging!

Armani Jeans F/W 2012 Lookbook
Denimology 18 May 2012, 2:13 pm CEST
Italian lifestyle brand, Armani Jeans was introduced in 1981 in Europe and they have been going strong ever since. I always used to love Armani Jeans for their high quality premium denim, but not so much for their prices ($240 and up!)....but, I guess paying for a top spokeswoman like Rihanna is included in the price of your Armani Jeans - sigh!!
I absolutely love those jeans above with the red suede on the legs. As you all know, I am always on the lookout for THE different pair of jeans and this pair definitely stands out. Let me just add one more thing: Armani jeans are mostly 100% cotton, with very few exceptions, and made of a heavy weight denim. Both count in their favor!

MET In Jeans F/W 2012 Lookbook
Denimology 17 May 2012, 6:15 pm CEST
In this - more, let's say, serious looking - collection, MET seems to have abandoned all the rips and tears and holes from the jeans (remember their S/S12 collection!). But no way have they succumbed to the mediocre, mass production boring jeans. Check out what they have to say about their Fall/Winter 2012 trends:
"The overall silhouette is ultra feminine, with laser patterns, metropolitan graphic concepts, ethnic and animal inspired prints, use of skulls and geometric shapes that create an effect of shooting stars. Tencel and Elastane give fibers added softness, bi-colour fabrics create greater contrasts after treatment, while velvets have undergone delicate dyes and treatments. The washes vary from the most traditional with slashing and breakage, to the latest Japanese minimal and American vintage."
