After poring over images of pristine clothing photographed on models posing static and sitting in one place, it’s easy to forget that clothes are meant to be moved in. That’s why Play Me Jeans’s fall/winter 2011 lookbook is a breath of fresh air (no, really). You can’t help but smile at how acid-wash skinnies or printed, distressed denim shorts look when running, jumping, leaping, and contorting–so fun! The men’s options are far from boring either. Cropped jodhpurs? Studs, leather swatches, and black denim rolled into one pair of pants? There’s only one word to describe looks like these: cool.

Vanessa Hudgens hides her new chopped locks underneath a beanie (with some light exposure) as she heads to a barbecue but she had no problem showing of her legs in distressed One Teaspoon Hawk High Waist Denim Shorts! She paired them with Love Heals Mountain necklace in dark brown leather and Blu Moon Kimono jacket (recall our kimono robe obsession from yesterday?). She mixed evening with daytime by matching this sexy black bandaeu top with the airy kimono robe and some shades. Perfect outfit to chill with your friends and catch some sun in these last few days of summer…

It’s that time of the year again! The time when we all get together, light up the barbecue, and get our patriotism on to celebrate our country’s Independence Day. Okay, so we still have a month to go… but there’s some serious planning to do! Like what to wear, of course! Now, if you’ve been with us for more than a minute, then you know where we’re going with this. Yep! Lucky for us one of the hottest trends of the season is the American Flag itself. From graphic tees, denim shorts, even shoes—your bound to find something with an image of it somewhere on it, and in some cases all over!
What’s our ideal 4th of July outfit? Something with a retro feel like a pair of ultra distressed high-waisted denim short shorts styled with anything sleeveless from graphic tanks to chambray shirts (perfect for the warm weather), and to finish it off a pair of killer platform shoes with a chunky heel.\

Brainchild of sisters Sienna and Savannah Miller Twenty8Twelve has created quite the buzz over the last few seasons, and for good reason too. It’s just the right look for any girl with who wants that romantic bohemian vibe with a hint of rocker chick appeal. What else could you ask for? This spring the duos’ collection keeps the emphasis on all things vintage inspired reworked into modern and wearable separates. Among the soft pastel hues, feminine floral prints, and flowy chiffons are a slew of denim pieces that we are absolutely loving. From button-front denim dresses, light washed denim jackets, distressed shorts and jeans, shirts, and (our favorite) a chambray knee-length skirt with fringe detail, this collections has something for everyone.
