1. MiH Jeans have release three new pastel shades for spring/summer (if you haven’t heard, pastel is coming on strong for the warm months). Shop various colored jeans by MiH in their colored denim online shop.
2. On the other hand, Earnest Sewn is releasing some pop-colors for spring in saturated, fruity hues. We guess it’s time to decide whether we’re wearing pop-colors or pastel this year! …Just kidding, we’re going to wear both.
3. Eat Sleep Denim has a guide for those of us who think about getting rid of our denim the moment we buy it. (Wait, what?!) It’s not as cruel as it sounds. In fact, it’s quite smart.
4. Tenue de Nîmes met up with Japanese denim brand Pure Blue Japan at Pitti Uomo and uncovered some covetable jems you’ll want to see up-close. Luckily, they got their camera right in there and captured the gritty, gorgeous details.
5. Vincent Gallo seems to have a lot to think about in the new G-Star campaign.

The best thing about these selvedge denim tote bags from Pure Blue Japan is how classic their design is. Way too often we see denim over-embellished or made into something that hardly even resembles the actual fabric, but not here. Because of their clean simple look, these totes are the perfect choice for both men and women. We love how they are offered in a dark-wash, medium-wash, and a beige color, so you can pick the tote that goes best with your own personal style. So no matter who you’re gift shopping for this holiday season, these totes are a great option! Get yours online at Pure Blue Japan.

In a time when our country is facing economic turmoil and some may say could rival the Great Depression, it’s hard to believe that prices for jeans are still up there. But hey, movie sales have hit a record high, so I suppose it’s business as usual for Hollywooders with their spending, so why not! I’m sure Brad Pitt still spends a pretty penny on designer duds.
Whether you have the funds or can wait until they go on sale, which they inevitably will, here are a variety of great looking jeans to feast your eyes on. Dream a little dream or go out and get them, but either way, these jeans are hot!
