It’s already that time of the year…where the heck did Halloween go? Screw that, where the hell did 2016 go?! Either way, it’s once again turkey day, and time for some of the best sales of the year. I’m always subscribed to my favorite brands’ and retailers’ newsletters in anticipation for such things, and just like I do every time, I figured I would share my favorites with you. There’s definitely far too many out there to include all here, but these are the first that I have seen, and I will be adding any new ones that pop up to this list as the week goes on! So whether you plan to party, to shop, or just relax and eat to your heart’s content this turkey day, here are some choice sales just in case you catch a bit of the shopping bug over the holiday. Happy Thanksgiving!

Frayed Hems Beyond the Denim Short
The frayed cutoff short. Nothing new. We’ve all been sporting them and creating our own out of our old jeans for decades. Last year I discovered skinny jeans with raw hems after one of my favorite bloggers, Lorna of Raindrops of Sapphire posted about her raw hem 7 For All Mankind jeans (she later shared her AG raw hem leggings). I love the look! I thought it was just something those two brands were up to, until I got a newsletter a few days ago from popular denim brand J Brand. They have an entire line dedicated to raw hems, titled The Fray, which includes not only skinny, culotte and bell jeans but also jackets, dresses and denim tops! Initially, this post was just going to feature J Brand, but as I searched the net a little more, I found that the raw hem trend was on full force with a multitude of other top notch premium denim brands! I scoured a few shops until I picked out a few favorites and collected them all here to share with all of you…and to bookmark as wish list items as well. What do you think of this new(ish) trend? I think it’s about time I add a skinny jean with a raw hem to my ever-growing denim collection! I’m not sure if I’m that partial to the tops and dresses, but you never know until you try it right?

Edgy Styles by Genetic Denim
I guess this installment isn’t necessarily to highlight a particular product line, I was simply just admiring denim brand Genetic‘s photography for their Fall line! Most model shots that are centered on denim are pretty straight forward, leaving the styling up to you…but Genetic went all out in styling up their models to give you some ideas on how to style their jeans! I love the edgy look to all of them and the color combinations, and it makes me wish they were selling the whole outfits in package deals! Right? I only have one pair of jeans from Genetic Denim, which is the Shane fit. It’s an older one, and while comfortable I still do need a belt with them as I think they were made for more streamlined body shapes at the time. But lately I’ve been admiring a lot of what they’ve been coming out with, including the collaboration with model Liberty Ross in August (Check out the line here!).

Genetic is a well-known veteran brand in the denim world, even though they were born fairly recently, in 2007. They still stick to the basics, but as you can see, they have a lot of awesome, more edgy styles! Right up my alley. They seem to be playing more with textures and patterns lately! Every denim brand has a cool back story, and I find that of Genetic to be particularly interesting, in regards to their Founder and Creative Director, Ali Fatourechi. From their website: “With a desire to understand the true psyche of a woman, in 2005, Fatourechi embarked on a grass-roots mobile clothing tour, visiting 42 cities across America analyzing and studying his subjects. In what became an intimate journey, Fatourechi was able to encounter all different types of women, gaining an invaluable understanding of a woman’s psychology when looking at herself in the mirror. Through this tour, he used the information that he compiled to develop his subconscious muse and form the concept of GENETIC.” Today, the brand is still charging forward full speed, using the softest Italian, Japanese and Turkish fabrics. I need to get my hands on one of these newer styles soon!
