Fit First Time: Finding The Perfect Pair Of Jeans With Jeanography

FFT jeanography 2 Fit First Time: Finding The Perfect Pair Of Jeans With Jeanography %tag

I often do style posts in jeans, they are my go-to piece of clothing in my wardrobe, I think I have a pair in ever style and colour from my favourite skinny blue jeans that I wear all the time to my shiny black jeans that are perfect for a night out, and my tiny flares that are just so comfortable. But even with all the choice in my wardrobe I am constantly searching for the next perfect pair, so when Jeanography approached me about trialling their new service ‘Fit First Time’ I jumped at the chance.

So basically the ‘Fit First Time’ does exactly what it says with a little help of course to find you your dream denim match and it is easy to do. First up, pick out a pair that fits your style, this in itself is hard as Jeanography have a great selection of designer denim styles from the likes of Hudson, MiH Jeans, and 7 For All Mankind, and then you can leave it to the Jeanography stylist to suggest an alternative or a size change, or if like me you aren’t sure which jeans best represent your style and want to try something new you can pick out three pairs to try out.

I didn’t know it until I reviewed my selections but I went for three pairs of Hudson Jeans. The first was a skinny pair with a twist, the Leeloo Regular Rise Super Skinny Crop, the twist being the black leather stripe down the leg, which I liked but sadly they were a little big. Then I tried out the Beth Regular Rise Baby Bootcut in Siouxsie, which gives you a whole lot of skinny with a little boot, again, I liked but I really felt they were more low rise than regular rise. My final pair, which were my wildcard pair, were the Bacara Regular Rise Crop Straight-Leg Cuffed in Vancouver, I chose because I am really having a boyfriend jeans moment and these beauties were a perfect fit, a great length and super soft, plus they also have some great detailing on the pockets - I really can’t wait to do a style post in these.

This is a great service, as well as getting expert advice, you also don’t have to pay a thing for 14 days, meaning you get time to try them on and then return the unwanted jeans using the free returns service. You only pay for the pair/s that you love. If you worry about buying jeans online this is a great way to test before you buy and I am sure with the help of the Jeanography stylists you will find your perfect pair.

Have you checked out the Jeanography site? Which three pairs of jeans would you like to try out?

Shop Her Style: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley In Paige

rosiepaige Shop Her Style: Rosie Huntington Whiteley In Paige %tag

Who: British bombshell Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Where: Out and about in Los Angeles, California

Wearing: A pair of Paige High Rise Bell Canyon flared jeans in Breckenridge, with her go-to leopard print scarf, a dusky pink blazer, and a knitted jumper; teamed with a nude Mulberry Evelina leather satchel from the spring/summer 2012 collection, matching nude boots and finishing off her look are Burberry 3051 aviator sunglasses.

Verdict: I do love it when celebrities do dressing down so well and I am loving this shade of pink teamed with dark denim – it just looks so fresh. Add in the stylish leopard scarf and those hot sunnies and this is a great look from head-to-toe. Oh, and I can’t forget that gorgeous Mulberry satchel – love the colour, the shape and it works against the dark denim and pink.

Buy Her Style: Lets get back to the denim, which are gorgeous and are uber-flattering, not that she needs any help in that department. Paige jeans are one of my favourite denim brands and I have had my eye on these high-rise flared jeans for a while, mainly because they are made from light-weight slim fitting denim that is super comfortable, oh and I am a sucker for flares.

I could only find the Breckenridge shade on the Paige USA site for $199; but if you love the style but prefer a more casual distressed shade then you are in luck as Donna Ida has the Marine style in stock for £205.

DKNY Jeans: Ashley Greene Unveils Billboard

dknyashley DKNY Jeans: Ashley Greene Unveils Billboard %tag

Who: Ashley Greene

Where: Unveiling her new DKNY Jeans campaign on a double-decker bus through Times Square, New York

Wearing: As the face of the brand it would be silly to see her in anything other than head-to-toe DKNY, but with that showstopping red long-sleeved shearling jacket to choose from it is hardly a chore, she looks completely striking. Teamed with the colourful jacket, Ashley is working DKNY Jeans’ Soho fit, which I have been told are extremely comfortable and flattering.

Verdict: What caught my attention instantly, other than that striking ad campaign, shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, which looks fresh, had to be that stunning jacket. I have seen a lot of shaggy jackets this season, but none as gorgeous as this, the colour against her brunette locks is just perfection.

Buy Her Style: It is a little pricey this dyed lamb skin shearling jacket at $1,959.99, but hey it is in the sale down from $2,800, and just think this jacket is an investment, will keep you warm and you will look fantastic. Now how do I whip up $2k?? That is a lot of eBay selling!!!

If like me this jacket is a little out of your price range, why not just settle for these dark rinse DKNY Soho jeans, priced $48.

Coming in 2012: I am a big fan of Ashley, not only does she always look so stylish, but she was made for the part of Alice Cullen in the Twilight series, and coming in 2012 she will be making a guest appearance in new favourite TV show, Pan Am. Ashley will be playing Amanda, an old flame of Ted – I can’t wait to see her all styled up in her Sixities outfit.

Video Loving: Victoria Beckham Denim For AnOther

181349 Video Loving: Victoria Beckham Denim For AnOther %tag

I am a lover not a hater of Victoria Beckham, always have been, I appreciated her WAG status, was overjoyed when she turned to fashion, and I even love her trademark pout; and last week I was thrilled when she was named Designer Brand of the Year at the British Fashion Awards. I know most of the fashion industry is now behind her, I think the amount of celebrities who have flocked to wear her designs has helped, but I think it is to do with her attention for details, whether it is on the cut, the marketing, or even her self promotion of her wearing the key pieces from her collection – one thing is for certain Victoria seems to think of everything.

What I also adore about her is if it doesn’t work out the first time, leave it a while and re-work it bigger and better and that is what she has done with Victoria Beckham Denim. It is fair to say the first few seasons of VB jeans didn’t do quite so well, I am not sure why, perhaps it was before her WAG status diminished, but the current autumn/winter 2011 and the up-coming spring/summer 2012 the collection is HOT!!

To push her denim to the cool kids VB has teamed up with AnOther magazine for a very quirky and playful film by Quentin Jones and AnOther fashion editor Agata Belcen. Inspired by Anna Karina dancing in Jean-Luc Godard’s Bande à part, the film is a kaleidoscopic mash-up of unfurling illustrations, interwoven with jiving hands in bowties and a chorus line of multi-coloured denim-clad legs, all set to a finger clicking score by Pete Duffy. I love the backdrop of film posters of La Nouvelle Vague.

Shop Her Style: Kelly Rowland In Green Velvet Jeans

Who: X Factor judge Kelly Rowland

Where: Leaving the Radio One studios in London

Wearing: A pair of green velour skinny jeans by Citizens of Humanity, teamed with cropped grey marl tee, a navy wool coat with off-centred buttons and over-sized collar and finished with fur-trimmed boots

Verdict: I don’t know why but as soon as I saw Kelly in these jeans it made me think of Christmas, maybe it is the elf green colour or just that Chrimbo is on my mind but I love them. I haven’t been brave enough to do coloured jeans yet but these velvet ones do look amazing, granted it helps when you are as toned as Kelly – check out her abs with that cropped tee.

Buy Her Style: Fancy working the elf look? Well you can pick up these green Avedon velour skinny Citizens of Humanity jeans at Harvey Nichols for £225. They also come in navy if you aren’t as brave as Kelly!!

Shop Her Style: Gemma Arterton For G-Star Raw

gstargemma3 Shop Her Style: Gemma Arterton For G Star Raw %tag

I do love great campaign images, and for some reason denim campaigns hardly ever capture me, which is weird considering I could live in my jeans. I was amazed by these new images from G-Star Raw featuring Gemma Arterton showcasing their autumn/winter 2011 collection.

Not only are the shots photographed by Anton Corbijn stunning, this is the first season you can buy everything she is wearing in each image. For instance in that top image, you can buy the Arc Jacket for £139, and the Straight leg jeans for £89.

This is my favourite shot from the campaign, she has such an amazing face and her smoky eyes and hardly-styled hair is so hot!!! Gemma is wearing a Motor 5260 Slim Jacket Shirt, £129, and the Arc Jacket seen above.

I don’t think I could pull off this cool Flat cap, £45, as well as Gemma.

This her second season as the face and I think you can tell as she seems so much stronger in the campaign. I love the styling of this shot, wearing the same Motor 5620 Slim Jacket Shirt and Straight leg jeans from before, but this time paired with Parton Gloves, £140, a Baron Hat, £53, and the most amazing piece has to be that stunning Aviator leather vest, £524. I think she makes a great cowgirl!!

AW10: Miss Sixty Launching Denim Capsule Collection

Pics:Miss Sixty - Zip Shot, Shock & Nu Metal

I love Miss Sixty, I shall I say the thin girl inside me does, and when I saw these pics of the Super-Lux Denim line that they are releasing in September I think I squealed!

The line is made 100% in Italy and is reworking the brand’s iconic styles – with the Shock, Zip Shot, Nu Metal and Rocker *sad that I am missing the Rocker image*. I know that come September those Shock jeans are still going on my wish-list!! What I love the most is that they have been “distressed” by several strong washes – they have a vintage vibe.

The limited-edition capsule collection also comes complete with tricolour Italian flag sewn into the jeans’ pockets.

I also have to mention the fab middle tee in the image above – so cool!
