Sparkly, shimmering, metallic denim is a really fun idea, and most of us have no problem pulling on the sequins and the shiny coated threads for big nights like New Years Eve (heck, we’re guilty as charged and there are facebook photos to prove it)—but what about January 2nd onward? Would you wear these glittery purple jeans, or do they remind you too much of early David Bowie costumes? Let us know on facebook!

Make a statement this fall with a pair of Free People stretch denim utility jeans! A fresh take on the traditional skinny, these front panel cargo pocket jeans have a distinct chic design that sets them apart from other less delectable approaches to this style. Namely, the pockets aren’t low on the thigh (which adds additional texture and doesn’t work if you’re trying to look slim). With intricate contour seams, and a perfect ankle length, you can rock this style in ruby red or electric blue. Flats, platform wedges, and fierce stilettos will all suit this pair of jeans. Best of all, they’re on sale now!

Life always works out this way: you discover a brand new pair of It jeans that you suddenly can’t do without (especially for that upcoming holiday party), such as Zara‘s Gold Jeans ($59.90), but they are sold out in your size. Snap! At last check-in to Zara online, only size 2 and 10 were left. However… however… Zara is legendary for taking special order requests. If you’re digging these gold jeans (pun intended), then give Zara a ring and see if they can’t have one shipped to your local store from Spain. You know you want to.
Go to Zara online to check out the gold jeans!
