Guess & Guess by Marciano had their fall/winter 2012 press preview for accessories, men’s and women’s clothing on April 6th at the gorgeous Skylight West in NYC. The room was full of natural light and adorned with next season’s must-have’s, including specs, bags, belts, faux-fur stoles, watches, and of course, super chic attire. We fell for an ensemble involving a cropped floral skinny jean with a denim jacket, worn under an oversized pink faux-fur jacket. See more below!

We dropped by Denim Habit on 14th street last Thursday for the Henry & Belle launch party. Henry & Belle is one of our favorite brands (both for back story and for fit), so it was awesome to check out the collection presented through the eyes of the designer. The denim was presented with the hand-crafted Henry & Belle sign and clear glass jars of indigo thread (we also got to check out some of the electric hues available by brands like Rich & Skinny). The event benefited the Heather on Earth Music Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to providing funding for music therapy programs in children’s hospitals. Check out our pics below.
Shop Henry & Belle online—and stay tuned for our exclusive preview of their latest jeans.

Last Friday, Hudson Jeans‘ Phosphorescent Invasion landed in the Meatpacking District, during New York Fashion Week. The East Coast launch event made a big splash as denim lovers and celebs (i.e. Coco Rocha and Joe Jonas) jammed inside retailer SCOOP NYC. Hudson Jeans is known for throwing some of the best parties in the industry, and who couldn’t resist the glowing neon lights and crystalline structure decor? All of this was to promote their new LouLou tuxedo stripe jeans. Watch the video to see highlights from the party.
