The New AO.LA Jeans by Alice + Olivia

When I’m choosing an interesting new pair or line of jeans to either shop or write about, I’m always looking up the obvious brands: AG Jeans, 7 For All Mankind, Joe’s…you get the idea. I don’t write much about the bigger designer or couture brands, both because of their lack of focus on denim and because their price ranges are a bit far out of my reader’s hands. However, every now and then something new or cool comes out from one of these companies that I just have to share, at least because it’s interesting to see what’s out there! I like all kinds of creativity.

Stay Cozy and Stylish in Faux Fur Jackets this Winter

Around the time the weather gets a bit colder, my shopping attention starts to shift a little bit away from jeans and onto outerwear! Hoodies and jackets are so much fun to shop for around this time, even if I unfortunately don’t get to use them as much as I’d like here in California. It’s been pretty darn cold at night here though, and I’ve already grabbed a supersoft, faux suede and shearling jacket from American Eagle (one of my favorite places to shop). I also love jackets with faux fur trim, but I’m never all that partial to full shaggy faux fur jackets. The only time I really wear a lot of faux fur is at music festivals when it gets cold at night, like those furry hoods you’ve probably seen floating around the internet over the last few years. But, because of that party spirit, I have thought of grabbing myself a fuzzy jacket to bridge the line between festival and real life, much like a lot of the apparel from independent designers I find at festivals, and on Etsy.

High Performance Moto Style by Blanc Noir at Carbon38

Here we go again…more dark fashion awesomeness…totally my kind of thing. As a fitness fanatic, I definitely love that side of the activewear/athleisure industry, as fitness kind of gives an extra bit of badassery to edgier apparel, if you ask me. It also makes this kind of style a lot easier to wear around on a regular basis, since activewear is meant to move with you and stay comfortable, and even wick moisture if you’re wearing it on a hot day. This also makes them prime items to wear out when I’m DJing or attending a late night party! I’m not really into wearing gym clothing on a regular basis, but sometimes, I can make an exception—if it doesn’t exactly look like it’s meant to be in a gym.

Comfortable and Whimsical Footwear by Lola Ramona

I try not to shop too much for footwear these days…I’m sure it comes as no surprise when I say I already have a decent collection! I at least try to look for a variety of purposes when I shop for shoes…quality tall ones for the winter, mid-calf boots to cover up cropped jeans, low booties, black booties, a solid black pair of nice heels, a comfortable pair or two of sneakers (Converse, specifically) and one high top, a variety of different colors and styles of sandals (flat and with heels) for summer…you get the idea! I try to keep to mostly the basics, but it can be tough to discriminate when you run across something that’s SO COOL, even if it looks like something you already have! You gotta have some fun with shopping, too.

G-Star RAW has been a pretty consistent subject here on my blog. No only are they an impressively high quality, innovative leader in the denim world, but they also take some pretty awesome steps when it comes to sustainability. They are best known by their iconic Elwood 5620 jean, which is constructed in a way you’ve never seen any jean put together before—with 3D detailing and tough but structured and comfortable denim. The brand celebrated the 20th anniversary of this jean last year, and I had the opportunity to review a pair! This wasn’t the first time I had a taste of the Elwood, as I also reviewed a beautiful moto pair, the Custom Slim Tapered, and my first review I ever did for Denimology (or ever), was the G-Star Type C Loose Tapered 3D Jeans. I’ve always enjoyed everything I receive from this incredible brand!
