To many I am a fashion guru... the one my friends and family go to whenever they need help in the wardrobe department. Since denim is such a huge part of fashion these days, I thought a guide to finding the best brands would be a fantastic idea! Because I live in Los Angeles I have all of primo boutiques, showrooms, and stores at my finger tips to see, feel, try on, and buy the best brands of denim. I've selected all my favorites for different fits, styles, and colors... ENJOY!
My friends in the denim world also wanted to lend a helping hand to all you jeans seekers with some discounts just for my readers! Check them out and find some jeans to fall in love with just like I have!
NEWS: I have added a new section after going shopping for jeans with my mom and my aunt. My mom is a young 50+ ( It's okay mom, either I tell your age or people are going to think that you had me at 15!) Here are my choices: Number 1. Skinny Mama Jeans. It has a special four-way stretch denim fabric, very comfortable and most important a really great fit for a woman your age. It looked really great on my mom. I made her buy two pairs; Number 2. Not your daughter's jeans ( NYDJ ) is a bit pricey but has a good fit. Mom it's time to say goodbye to your chico's or whatever you wore before.

Bleulab Reversible Jeans
Many people have been wearing jeans designed by Jerome
Dahan without ever knowing it. Jerome began his denim career as one of the
founding designers of Lucky Brand jeans. After working alongside his mentor,
Adriano Goldschmied, for many years, Dahan left to create 7 for all Mankind.
Now with his latest creation, Jerome is again redefining the world of denim.
His creativity with denim fabric knows no bound. My favorite are the Sunset Shorts and the Faye Wideleg in Willow Creek.
These jeans kick ass. I get a lot of double takes when I wear these. Everyone wants to know where I get them and for some reason wants to touch them...ha ha. Rockstar has the same flavor as the wonderful Balmain jean, but at 1/3 of the cost. Oh...these make me want to start a band! I got grey ones and you can get your own from Jeans.com.
Bleulab Jeans are the brainchild of Carl Jones. It took him years of smart and hard work to be able to perfect the technique to make seamless reversible denim. The fabric is softer than "butter" and you can wear them any way you want. The fit is also very sexy and comfortable. I love them. Pretty hard to find though, unless you live in the "chic" part of Robertson.
William Rast has a really nice fit , but I don't care too much for the big W on the pocket. I tried on one with the W that was embroidered but that matched the color of the jeans so that it was almost invisible and the fit was really great. With my head turned 360 degrees, I could see my butt, and I really liked it.

I first came across Superfine when I saw the ever fashionable Ashley Olsen talking about them. This brand has really rad style and marketing. They are very Euro-chic and look fabulous on! You can get them at Barneys or also in London! Check out their page: SUPERFINE
Who's wearing them: Ashley Olsen, Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, Courtney Love, Giselle Bundchen, Victoria Beckham... I just tried them on and did not Buy them because they were beyond my budget that week, but they looked really good! My charge card was screammmming!
Dylan George jeans are all about the best fit, best fabric, and best wash. They are meticulous when it comes to their jeans and work hard to make sure that it shows. The designer, Danny Guez (formerly of William Rast) has been doing denim for ages and can crank out an amazing collection of jeans. These are my favorite for that basic "matches everything" "always looks good" jean. Try the Amber Low Rise Boot Cut in Palmero. Try it on in Bloomingdales or Nordstrom and buy it from DYLAN GEORGE.
Who's wearing them: Kate Beckinsale, Christina Aguilera, Vanessa Hudgens, Alessadra Ambrosia...
Stitch's jeans are ones that you buy, love, buy more, wear more, love more, and love to buy more. The fit is perfect and the fabrics are super soft. Get the ones with the flap pockets if you need a little boost in the booty, try the Chekore Sexy Bootcut. These cost a pretty penny...but you will definitely look pretty in them! Check out the STITCH'S SHOP. Try them on at Kitson.
Current Elliot has made a wonderful presence in the denim world. The bohemian style and relaxed fits are great for every girl wanting to look pretty. These jeans go great with tea parties, canvas paintings, and Bob Dylan albums. Check out their site and try some on at Bloomingdales.
Who's wearing them: Sarah Jessica Parker, Rachel Bilson, Megan Fox, Vanessa Hudgens, Gweneth Paltrow, Kate Beckinsale, Katie Holmes ...
Red Engine is a great brand if you want a consistant fit and want your
favorite jean to be available whenever you need it. They keep their
collection very tight and edit carefully. The Scarlet is their best fit
or the Cinder Skinny.
