Why was Whitney Port in Los Angeles, you might wonder? Could it be business meetings for her Miss Me ecommerce site, which is about to be launched? Was she trying to cut a deal on a new Reality TV show? Denimology found these lovely photos of her in Beverly Hills, including one in which she is getting a back rub and mani-pedi at one of the millions of nail salons in town. We guess that her OTR jeans are her mani-pedi jeans of choice, due to its comfort and stretch. It pulls up over the knees easily so that your jeans won’t get wet when you get soaked, scrubbed and massaged into oblivion. Anyway, who wants to wear jeans that choke your legs, right? The world is watching what the lovely Whitney has up her camel coat sleeves next!

Fashion has always tracked and echoed trends in art, from the heavily corseted S-curved silhouettes that reflected Art Nouveau interpretation of the female form early in the twentieth century to the first uncorseted, boxy silhouette that followed in the 1920s, and to the streamlined, body-hugging dresses of the 1930s. The relationship between the two has always been coactive, one always inspiring the other and vice versa. And now more than ever have the two almost become one singular point of view that single-handedly expresses how eclectic everything has become. Modern has merged with classic, minimal has taken cues from grunge, denim has invaded workwear–the list goes on. We came across this editorial out of Zoo Magazine showcasing the modern day marriage of art and fashion. Styled in the latest designs of the day including denim–the textile of the day–the two worlds come together seamlessly and perfectly. Here are some of our favorite shots from the spread:

The first lady of bootyliciousness (and we don’t mean her rockin’ OTK boots), Kim Kardashian, was spotted recently, delivering some toys at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. Wearing some dart-detailed Helmut Lang jeans, her jeans are practically telling you to take a good look at her sexy boots. Also, the seaming creates an effect that gives her thighs a slight slimming effect. We think the wintry cognac and brown-olive colors really work well together. We also love that these skinny jeans really fit in with this winter’s military and fur trends. Here, Kim managed to look casual chic, keeping her love of fashion at a tasteful restraint from this charity event.
1. These are selling out fast! HELMUT LANG Peak Pocket jeans ($265) – buy it at SSENSE.
2. Versatile and affordable chic. COLIN STUART Devon Convertible Boot ($129) – buy it at Victoria’s Secret.
3. A crisp, matte version of Kim’s jacket that shines on its own. BOP BASICS The Fiance Blazer ($198) – buy it at Shopbop.
4. In gold we trust. FOREVER21 Netted Fringe Necklace in gold ($7.80) – buy it at Forever21.

We are just a few hours away from ringing in the New Year and along with that comes our New Years resolution. And we are sure that dieting, exercise, better nutritional health are amongst the long list. Well when you see what Victorias Secret has in store for 2011, you won’t be thinking twice!
Candice Swanepoel, a South African model, and a Victoria Secret Angel since 2009 was recently in St. Barts (we wish we were there too) shooting the 2011 VS swim catalog in a denim hipster bikini.The upcoming Swim catalog will also include many bold colors, sequins, beads and sexy South American prints.
She surely is something to covet about showing off her curves in barely-there bikinis (but we know you can do it too and this is the year to do it).
It’s no secret that we can’t wait!

As we love to say, there are times when more is definitely more but for the most part we like to keep plain and simple, which is probably why we love Bassike (pronounced basic) so much. Always presenting us with the perfect wardrobe staples from asymmetrical-bias cut tees to beautifully aged denim, one thing we definitely never are when it comes to the Sydney-based brand is underwhelmed. This is especially true for what they have in store for the Spring Summer 2011 season. Incorporating just the right amount of trend, you’ll especially love the cropped denim vests and jackets that are great for the perfect double denim look. But have a look for yourself! Here are a few of our favorite images from their Spring Summer 2011 Look Book.

The grunge trend has come back on the scene several times since it died in the ’90s, its endless appeal associated with early MTV, sneaking backstage at concerts, and living the life of a high school rebel with a flannel shirt and a lot of eye liner. And while those things may not sound appealing to those with a taste more chic, there’s a bit of too-cool-to-care in all of us that can relate to an editorial like this one. CeCe Yoost embodies the ultimate grunge-glam element in No. Magazine (shot by Karen Inderbitzen-Waller), with the no-fail ingredients mentioned above and an untamed helping of denim separates.

Some of us have survived the blizzard of 2010, but we’re not taking any chances. There are tons of jeans that offer great warmth, especially the heavier weight 12 or 13 ounce jeans, or even those that are flannel-lined or coated to shield us from the elements. However, we picked a few that we liked in jeans and jackets that look fashionable and will last us into spring. Paired with the season’s hottest trend in lined outerwear, accessories and footwear, you’ll brr-ing the grrr in great!
1. You studette, you! CURRENT/ELLIOTT Studded Commander Jacket ($257.60) – buy it at Shopbop.

Without a doubt the denim look has been at the forefront of the fashion world for the last couple of seasons, and, from the looks of it all, it isn’t going to stop any time soon. Jeans have definitely made their mark, and have proven to be a fashion staple, and we love it, but now it’s time to switch it up a bit and move the focus upward. Get ready for the invasion of the denim and chambray shirt. Having been deemed a “must have” by Teen Vogue‘s Denim Patrol we suggest stocking up on a few washes just to be ahead of the game. Though, chances are you might have one or two in your wardrobe already. Many designers have been incorporating them into their collections for a few seasons now, and in fact many fashionistas have been rocking them for quite some time now too. It’s definitely been a long time coming, but it’s safe to say that the once working-class shirt will be among the “it” trends of Spring and Summer and perhaps of seasons to come.

We’re really amused by this playful series shot by Andreas Sjodin of Norwegian model Siri Toller?d, face contorted into quizzical stares, bike tire and wrench at hand. With knees cut and dirt smudged all over her worse-for-wear denim outfits, she’s a refreshing departure from ultra-glam denim editorials (though you know we love those too!), and she brings it right back to the beginning: Denim as a utility fabric (that just happens to look absolutely amazing).

Vanessa Hudgens grabbed lunch with a few friends in Los Angeles this week wearing Heartloom’s soft and cozy “Dinah Cardi”. Looking casual and chic, the Beastly actress paired the oversized sweater (it seems as if the weather is not warming up anytime soon) with Black Orchid’s “Black Jewel Jeggings” in Thunder wash. A fan of both brands, Vanessa was seen in the comfortable cardigan just last week and has also been spotted several times recently in Black Orchid’s comfortable skinnies.
Black Orchid’s Black Jewel Jeggings in Thunder retail for $110.00.
