There was a time when you wouldn’t dream of spending an entire afternoon in a pair of jeans for the strenuous task of holiday shopping. Now we have comfortable stretch-denim blend jeans (and we don’t actually need to leave the computer to get our holiday gifts bought). My how times have changed! Gwen Stefani was spotted doing a little holiday spotted in Paige Denim Verdugo Ultra Skinny. She paired the comfortable jeans with a big scarf, tailored jacket, and retro sunglasses, looking ready to jump from a day shopping for ornaments to a night out in London.

If you’re looking for a way to amp up your denims’ sex appeal then this is totally for you. Take a hint from blogger Andy Torres and take your denim workshirt into new territory by styling it with skin-tight, high waisted riding pants and an itty bitty leather corset. Throw on a pair of oversized sunnies and simple heels, add a leopard print clutch for an extra bit allure and you’re good to go! Whoever said a denim workshirt couldn’t be sexy, obviously didn’t know this girl!

We know most of you are just about ready to live up the summer in nothing but your swim suit. However, if you’re like us and need to hit up the city for a lunch date or a fun night out on the town, then a suitable chic summer wardrobe alternative is definitely a must. We are absolutely enamored of this posh summer-ready look by fashion blogger Andy Torres. This light washed denim workshirt and purple mini combo is perfect for any summer venture that doesn’t involve a pool or the beach. The oversized handbag and sunnies, gold watch, and pair of strappy stack wedges add the perfect hint of luxe, while the exposed zipper detail on the skirt gives the look some edge. Overall a perfect look for a casual and chic summer!

Seconds ago Lady Gaga posted a photo on her twitter showing off her new black-dyed bangs and summoning the beginning of a mass bang-dying phenomenon. Which is fine. But we’re a little caught up on her fierce outfit to run to the hair stylist just yet. Gaga pairs an acid wash top with acid wash jeans of a different hue (so ’90s!) glamming it up with oversized sunglasses, long decorated nails, and her token red lips. Need extra ferocity? Show us your teeth.
