Kate Beckinsale in Current/Elliot Jean Shorts

Is this hot or what? Kate Beckinsale was snapped while leaving her home all dolled up in a pair of Current/Elliott‘s Boyfriend Short in “Dust Destroy”. She paired the destroyed daisy dukes with Chanel platform cap toe clogs (wouldn’t you love to get your hands on those? Too bad they are sold out worldwide!) and a Rebecca Taylor Quilted Bluebell Blouse. We love how this look is bordering on bohemian but completely glam. A smooth transition and perfect union of styled elements. Now we’re wondering where this beauty is headed!

Don’t we all wish that we could toss out the phrase “recession proof” from our fashion vocabulary? Well, I would say that it would be prudent to think otherwise. Be a little green, recycle a beloved pair of jeans and reinvent your look with this summer’s hottest trend, the distressed jean.  So,  make the best of what you’ve got and copy Cameran Diaz and Kate Beckinsale’s great distressed jean look by D.I.Y. 

D.I.Y. instructions to create your own distressed jeans 

(Source – Life & Style):

Tools needed: Wood block, pumice stone, utility knife.

Step 1:  Start by placing a block of wood inside the pant leg, under the area to be distressed.

Step 2:  Slice a fabric horizontally with a utility knife at several spots on each leg.

Step 3:  Rough up fabric by rubbing with a pumice stone.

Step 4:  For extra shredding, pick threads apart with a pin.  Washing and drying before wearing will further distress the rips.

Tip: Rips should be random and different on each leg. Shred one shin but not the other. Vary the width of the tears as well.

But, if you don’t have the time like me, the following are jeans that Cameron and Kate are wearing as well for less.
