New Color Denim: Fresh Color Hues Replace Your Old Blues

Color denim is a look that has been on and off the fashion radar for awhile. But bright denim has made a big comeback this season. If you are not ready to jump into the trend full force then ease into with wearing shade that you are comfortable with like green, blue, or purple. You should consider your body shape when wearing colored denim. Bright colors draw attention to your lower half. So if you are not comfortable with that try a boot cut or flare leg fit to help balance you out. A great way to keep this look on the mature side is to pair it with toned down neutrals. You can also make this look edgy and trendy by using a graphic tee and adding a belt or two. Or make it girly with a floral tunic, heels and denim vest. Some of me favorite designers are J Brand and Current/Elliott. So will you be trying out this look? Let me know what you think.

New York Is The New Home Of Gap's 1969 Denim Only Store

Gap wants to make a space in the high end denim market through its 1969 stores. With the newest one being in New York's lower Broadway. The store is between Spring and Broome streets, and houses array of styles of denim from the 1969's premium denim collection for men and women, complementary tops, jackets and shoes. They will also be carrying styles that will only be available in the 1969 stores, including European and Japanese styles. The store has a bright clean feel to it, denim lines the wall and the back of store has greenery to give it a more grounding touch. Seating in the center of the store is raw wood as well as a bar mounted with iPads which is loaded with different fashion sites to keep the non shopping companion busy. The Gap was founded on denim so I am glad to see it is getting back to it roots, but with more of a boutique feel.
