These mid-rise denim shorts with a slight frayed hem will be available for Spring 2013. Shay took advantage of the extended Los Angeles summer to spiff up in head-to-toe white to shoot photos for her new blog at ShayMitchblog.tumblr.com. What do you think? Does this get you excited for the return of spring?

Los Angeles-based Sinclair Denim may sound familiar to those who have shopped their jeans at high-end retailers like Neiman Marcus, and now, they’re back this summer with some innovative washes and treatments on jeans, bermudas and denim cutoffs. We felt like a kid at a candy store when we saw the Sinclair Spring-Summer 2012 lookbook. Its palette of foil coated jeans, deep indigos, juicy dip-dye pastels, railroad stripe and even glitter offer the woman a chance to dip her hands into any style cookie jar she chooses this summer. We are in love with Sinclair’s tasteful handling of dip dye and innovative use of foil coating. How would you rock a pair of Sinclairs?

Jeans are the epitome of model off-duty style, not only for their ease and capability to rough it through casting calls, but also because they are the perfect clean sartorial palette. New Australian magazine Stonefox captures that casual cool with this striking black-and-white editorial. Donning simple tees (or none at all), ripped and ragged cutoffs, denim jumpsuits, jean jackets, and more, Dempsey Stewart looks fresh-faced and subtly sexy–always a winning combination.

Why on earth would you want to wear denim shorts in winter? Hey, it’s L.A., it’s 74 degrees in November, and if you’re a celebrity, you wear what you want when you want to. Case in point: Nicole Richie wore Erin Wasson x RVCA denim cutoffs over some black tights. She pulled it off by repeating black throughout her outfit: black boots, beanie (by Rick Owens), and a smart Chanel chain crossbody bag.
Want to get Nicole’s look? Throw on a textured black sweater over a peter pan collar contrast shirt, and pull it together with some of our suggestions below!
1. These smart boots can go with shorts, a maxi skirt and, of course, jeans. The Suede Zipcode Boot ($188) – buy it at Madewell.
2. You can’t find Nicole’s RVCA shorts anywhere nowadays, but we think these more affordable versions with black pockets are pretty nifty. AE Tumble Shortie ($39.50) – buy it at American Eagle Outfitters.
3. Here’s a beanie with about the same amount of scrunchiness as Nicole’s Rick Owens version. Bop Basics Oversized Beanie ($68) – buy it at Shopbop.
4. Cat eye sunglasses are all the rage this season. Mango Cats Eye Style Sunglasses ($34.90) – buy it at Mango.
5. Need we say why we love this bag? Quilted Chain Crossbody (on sale for $15) – buy it at dELiAs.

For your viewing and listening pleasures, we bring you model Brianna of Look Models, romping around in a couple of denim cutoff shorts. In “Summer Fun,” Brianna is styled with a couple of beach-friendly tops, taking a stroll while Beck’s “Golden Age” sets the mood. Don’t you just love those lazy weekends? And, don’t think we didn’t notice that she’s showing off a pair of Levi’s high-waisted jeans which have been cut at a slight bias, revealing more on the hips, and longer at the inner thighs. With a bit of fraying, the cut offs look very DIY, but done very well. What do you think of this look? Would you have gone with a low-rise pair of jeans, or do you think this is perfection?
