Seventeen Magazine ambassador & reality TV star Kendall Jenner was spotted in a pair of Black Orchid by Julien Jarmoune’s Black Jewel Mid Rise Jegging in Bikini So Teeny wash. The pastel blue skinny jeans are a perfect casual-cute option for spring and summer. Pair them as Kendall did with a simple knit tank and chic flats. And it’s not only about looking good—shop with confidence that the fit and feel are amazing too! We personally love our Black Orchid’s and we practically live in them.

At the CLOSED spring 2013 preview, a few scrumptious themes became evident as soon as we entered the showroom: pastels are making a big come back, hand-in-hand with rock’n'roll chic. Think acid wash and bleached-out jeans, leather jackets in candy hues, and denim vests with just the right amount of rough-up. Join us in marking our calendars for spring and eagerly awaiting the release of the intensely stylish selection below.
Check out CLOSED for your pastels, prints, and artistic washes this spring.

We’re always on the lookout for new ways to style the latest denim trends. This season is all about pastels, so if you’re wondering how to style aqua jeans in pastel hues, take notice. When paired with cream and white neutrals on top, the jeans stay cool and refreshing. To avoid an overly soft look (if that’s not your thing), ground your outfit in strong black accessories, like Zina did here.

Nothing says summer like the smell of sunscreen, hot asphalt, and smoke from the barbeque. Maybe you’re not a fan of the first two scents, but the third? It’s the sign of good food, good company, and good times. For all the BBQs you’re sure to attend this summer—from now on through the Fourth of July to Labor Day—we have plenty of suggestions. Go for a relaxed look with loose-fitting cuffed jeans and a lightweight tee, wear an adorable floral dress for a pop of color underneath a denim vest, or pair your on-trend pastel denim shorts with equally sweet hues. Just don’t spill the ketchup.
