Colored denim may be a new staple exploding over the denim scene, but one timeless piece we can’t argue with is a classic chambray. Street styler Sirma chose to accessorize her mint hint of color Pull&Bear jeans with a and basic denim workshirt detailed with a trace of lace.

We at Denim Therapy always welcome a good sale on denim, especially when they are under $100. But, what about jeans under $50? Whoa, Nelly! In its third week, Lucky Brand‘s $49.97 in-store sale on jeans for men and women is still going strong, but you’ll have to hurry, because your size is likely depleting as we speak. And, if you can’t find your size, there’s a sitewide 20% off sale at Lucky Brand online, so you can also score some great summer clothes in your favorite graphic or beach-friendly variety.
Here’s another sale worth mentioning: Just Fabulous is a shoe and hand bag VIP membership site which sends you customized selections from their celebrity stylists each month, with shoes, hand bags and sunglasses for $39.95 each. They just launched their own brand of premium denim for women, Just Fabulous Denim, at only $39.95 plus free shipping! Why do we think this is worth a check in? The jeans are made by “a premium denim line which normally sells for $200.” Produced with a clean look in The Basic Boot, The Super Straight, The Fabulous Flare and The Slender Cigarette fits, we think it’s cheap jeans with designer appeal. For a limited time only: you can get three pairs of denim for $99. Or, receive 50% off your first purchase the day you sign up. Intrigued? Go to Just Fabulous online to shop the jeans.

Pregnant super-star actress Natalie Portman has been out and about recently sporting maternity denim (an alteration service we offer, in case you’ve got a baby bump of your own) and naturally cameras flashes have been illuminating her every step. The paparazzi might be after her because she’s Natalie, but we’re in love with her minimalist approach to cute maternity-wear. We break down two of her recent looks below.
1. mama·licious Tex Denim Tunic Top ($62) – buy it at Asos.
2. Anthropologie Confetti Strand Wooden Beaded Necklace ($39) – buy it at Anthropologie.
3. The Limited Skinny Cargo Pant (on sale $19.99, was $69.90!) – buy it at The Limited.
4. Lucky Brand “Marlee” Rain Boots ($74.25) – buyt it at Dillard’s.
5. Banana Republic “Deborah” Sunglasses ($98) – buy it at Banana Republic.
Here’s the look in action—Natalie looks stellar with loose hair, sunglasses, a bohemian beaded necklace and this super-comfortable denim maternity shirt, cuffed at the sleeve. We switched out the boots for something a little more fashion forward, but even her’s are pretty chic.
In the next outfit, a super-minimal look becomes super-adorable via less-is-more theory. Check out how you can adopt this comfy ensemble.
1. Motherhood Long Sleeve Crew Neck Maternity T Shirt (on sale $10) – buy it at Motherhood.
2. Paige Denim Jimmy Jimmy Maternity Boyfriend Jeans ($195) – buy it at Shopbop.
3. Dooney & Bourke Handbag, Quilted Spicy Shopper ($198) – buy it at Macy’s.
4. Bernardo Tie multi-strap leather sandals ($195) – buy it at Net-A-Porter.
5. Tom Ford Eyewear Callae Sunglasses ($360) – buy it at Saks Fifth Avenue
And here’s the second look in action! Natalie’s top has a cute button-neckline detail and single pocket, which adds interest (but isn’t necessary to achieve the look). During this stroll, Natalie was holding up her purse to defend her baby-to-be from too much camera action. If you plan to do the same (assuming paparazzi follow you!), you’d better make that purse a big one!
Don’t forget to check out our maternity denim alteration service, where we open up the side seam and place an elastic triangular insert into your jeans so you can keep wearing them during your pregnancy. Once your term is over, you can send them back to have them turned back to normal!

It is pretty obvious by now that denim wearing is no longer relegated to the college set, nor is it only a piece of fabric only reserved for casual days. We found a snapshot of Jessica Biel strutting her stuff in a sexy ladylike tan outfit, punctuated by a blue denim totebag. She showed us a way to wear a denim accessory in a dressed up way that doesn’t have to be edgy or rock ‘n’ roll. You can make your own style statement with some denim handbags we are loving right now!

2. Juliet Tote Dark Denim with Genuine Leather Strap ($45) – buy it at Etsy.

Summer is almost here! Well, at least we want it to be because we can look forward to taking off the furry layers and sliding into our favorite jeans and shirts. Lucky Brand is already stocking summer’s must-have denim essentials, such as soft, distressed jeans, Boyfriend shorts, plus groovy floral print non-denim pieces that will remind you that the days are getting brighter and more colorful. Note: we noticed there was not one jegging in sight! Marked by Lucky Brand’s continual nod to the Americana theme, look for red, white and blue accents, such as star-patched jeans and denim jacket, as well as Bohemian Navajo-inspired prints. If you still need more summer inspirations, then take a look at some featured offerings from Lucky Brand’s Summer 2011 Lookbook.

In this edition of Window Shopper, we stroll by the Lucky Brand boutique on the corner of 67th Street and 3rd Avenue. While we could have guessed at the styling before we even got close enough to peer through the glass (ethnic ’70s rustic boho-galore), we loved the addition of the oversize vintage luggage and tin lantern that gave an air of summer jet-set so the scene.
