We dropped in the American Eagle & Aerie fall 2013 preview yesterday for a pastry and some AM fashion-gazing. The ever-expanding line has amp’d up selection in both the men’s and women’s departments. We were especially delighted to see a carefully played bohemian influence in the styling of chic denim separates, flirty scarves, and gorgeous jewelry. This season we’re loving the returning Artist fit jean for women who want to edge towards flare leg while keeping it chic. Check out the full preview below!

Winter is a great time of year to rock that jeans and boots look, no matter what type of boots or fit of jean. With the right pair of jeans, you’ll have months of hassle-free street style looks. For ankle boots, wear cropped jeans or try cuffing them with a thin cuff for a delicate look. Skinny or boyfriend jeans work. For tall boots, wear denim leggings or skinny jeans. They stay in your boots better and are less likely to pinch. Avoid wearing slim or boot cut jeans if you want to tuck them in. You want a sleek silhouette. Now, all you have to do is throw on the perfect knit top or wintry coat to complete the look.

We caught a look of Replay and Sons Fall 2011 Lookbook and well, safe to say we know what we’re getting our favorite little ones this holiday season! They have all of our Replay favorites, but in pint-size versions! The faded, distressed denim gives the jeans an extra bit of flare that goes with all the fun that is kids fashion, without being too overwhelmingly cutesy. Whether it be your standard boot-cut jean, overalls, or jean skirt, these items are all great options for any boy or girl as they are staple pieces that can be mixed and matched. The best thing about this collection though is how easy it is to match the looks to your own style–we mean who doesn’t love a good jean skirt and tight combo?

First off, we just have to say that we LOVE the Artisan de Luxe Women’s Spring/Summer 2012 Collection. This line has everything that we love about denim, like how easy it is to have it be the clothing that lets you really express who you are. There is no skinny jean in sight for this collection, and we don’t have a problem with that at all (we mean it, they are EVERYWHERE!). Instead they have boot cut and flared styles that are extra special thanks to simple whisker detailing and distressing. Our real favorites though have to be the high-waisted denim shorts with the leather fringe pocket and jewel applications around the waist. Coming in at a very close second though are the cut-off denim shorts that have a peace sign print down one leg–so cute and trendy without being over the top. Keep an eye out at the Artisan de Luxe Online Shop for when this amazing collection becomes available in the next coming months.

Last Friday, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour stepped out in a pair of J Brand “914” low-rise cigarette leg jeans in Ink while attending the Sony Ericsson Tennis Open. This was not the first time she has been seen in public wearing jeans. A few years back, Anna wore jeans at a basketball game, tucked into her boots. What do you say? Did Anna rock her denim look?
You can get Anna’s jeans online at J Brand.

Olivia Wilde was not playing “House” whilst she was seen wearing Henry & Belle’s “Signature Bootcut” jeans in Dark Vintage over the weekend. Clad in a sophisticated Boho ensemble, we love how she’s mixing in a few vintage-inspired pieces: the camel hand bag, scuffed boots and a cute floral corsage bracelet—very Victoriana! Her tarnished key necklace adds a little adornment while keeping everything toned down and casual.
Olivia exudes confidence with her “thrown-on” look which actually mixes different natural hues together without being overly matched. You can create your own signature City Boho look by throwing on a favorite bracelet or neck charm.
1. We’re loving this slightly sanded, slimming boot cut jean. Henry & Belle Signature Bootcut ($152) – buy it at Henry & Belle.
2. Sometimes, a girl just wants a small purse that holds everything! Robe di Firenze Classic Leather Handbag ($269) – buy it at Forzieri.
3. A simple blazer adds a tailored touch to a casual ensemble. Urban Renewal Vintage Boys Blazer ($48) – buy it at Urban Outfitters.
4. When real flower corsages won’t do, then try one that’ll last longer. Chiffon Flower Wrist Corsage in Coral Pink ($12) – buy it at Etsy.
5. Get that vintage vibe with a comfy ankle boot. Leather Sandstorm Boot ($188) – buy it at Madewell.

We’re in love with this look on Zoe Saldana—a textured leather jacket with casual knit top (a beige Henley t-shirt tucked into her pants to show off her high-waisted cut) and Henry & Belle Signature boot cut jeans in bright indigo wash. She tops it off with a cute pair of flats and the tell tale celebrity sunglasses. The Avatar actress is setting a new standard for celebrity-casual. Her peers better not get caught leaving the house dressed like a hot mess!

Kristen Bell was seen wearing Henry & Belle’s “Signature Bootcut” jeans in dark vintage wash while out in West Hollywood last week. Not too many celebrities have been spotted wearing the Henry & Belle brand, but she wears them well! Bell is going with the wide leg trend of the moment like many of her celebrity peers, this time in an army green/gray combo. We’re so enamored with her on-screen skills that we don’t mind her looking a little dazed & confused… need help finding your car keys, Kristen?

For a casual cool look that you can wear all day, opt for a comfy classic bootcut, a big bag, and a serious pair of heels to get some stomping done. And don’t forget to check those vest pockets for your keys.
1. Stay toasty for those urban safaris. Eddie Bauer Safari Utility Vest in Safari Green ($79) – buy it at Eddie Bauer.
2. Every girl needs that basic, large hand bag. ASOS Pocket Front Totebag ($62.76) – buy it at ASOS.
3. A bootcut jean is a no-brainer and flatters most figures. Henry & Belle Signature Bootcut in Dark Vintage ($152) – buy it at Henry & Belle.
4. When basic pumps just won’t do, try a sporty covered platform to keep the tootsies warm. Jeffrey Campbell Lita in Brown Distressed ($159.95) – buy it at SoleStruck.
