Plaids are all the rage for fall, and Pudel has got the trend down to a tee. Their latest collection features a wide selection of denim pieces from skirts to jackets and jeans detailed with the perfect 90s-esque plaid. And if that isn’t enough to totally satisfy our grunge cravings, then a dose of tie dye dark denim and cable knit sweaters will certainly do the trick. Check out the men’s and women’s lookbook below.

Cameron Diaz struts her perfectly toned “gams” for the June cover of Maxim Magazine. Photographed by Gavin Bond, the editorial features Diaz in some tantalizing and mischievous positions, as she recreates the clich? of a naughty professor for her upcoming movie Bad Teacher. Hosing down a classic Mustang in short shorts and a knotted midriff baring plaid shirt, Diaz makes mundane activities like washing the car, look like a piece of cake. We love the cuffed denim shorts paired the open toe heels and the seductive red lip, Diaz’s loose sexy tousled waves finish off the look and once again, Diaz is the envy of all high school girls and the drool factor for all the boys.

In the second installment of the denim-savvy fashion blogger showcase, we hand the mic to Lauren of Cotton Wool Clouds. We love her quirky personality and casual-cool style sense. Her blog includes her travel diary, fashion tid bits, and outfit posts that consistently include visual styling tips on how to work your denim. She prepped these photos for us of her favorite denim outfit of the moment.

Lauren loves this look for being “cool and country” with a bit of edge. The grey Miso skinny jeans (sold in Republic in England) add a fashion-forward hint with attention paid to the length of the jeans (“They fit so well and end just at the ankle, without any gathering of material”). Flannel and denim is a timeless combo, and a flash of clean white sneakers are the perfect punctuation.

“My favourite brand is Levi’s,” Lauren tells us, “they’re the classic jeans. Skinnies are my favourite, so versatile, but I do wear slouch and boyfriend fit also. Flares aren’t really my thing, but perhaps one day in the future!” Be sure to check out Lauren’s blog, Cotton Wool Clouds, to keep and eye on this ambitious blogger’s travels & style.
