It wasn't a real exciting week in denim, but here's the wrapup:

Happy Birthday Naomi! Although she had looked fabulous (pre-intoxication), she ended up drunk in the back seat with her denim jacket on:


Obviously Taylor Momsen loves the ripped denim look. Here she is in her Members Only jeans...yep, they make more than nylon jackets now:


Here's Lindsay Lohan in what seems to be her favorite brand as of late - PRVCY. Cute wash!


Kim Kardashian looks laid back and casual. The bright pop of color makes me want to look over the fact that she's wearing knee boots in late May. She has been hanging out around Ciara a lot lately...damn!


Here's Heidi Montag in her fave Jet Thrasher jeans. She wears them all of the time. So yes, I could've picked a better photo of her wearing these jeans, but I chose this one instead. hehehe


Elle Macpherson was seen out shopping in her J Brand jeans. When a supermodel has to roll up her hem, this indicates that the designers are going way too far with these superlong inseams!

She may not be a victim of wearing "mom jeans," but what's up with that mom shirt???

Beyonce was out lunching with her hubby in Barcelona. I like the outfit, but I do think that those shoes are a little too much for daytime casual.


*deep sigh* Oh Pauletta! I hope I don't end up looking like my husband's mother...


Eh, I have nothing special to say about a look that isn't. Sorry Kate.


Okay, so is it just me or does LaToya Jackson look like she has shoplifted items hidden in that pocketbook that she's clutching to for dear life???...


Keyshia Cole got a new man and a new attitude. She's wearing a colored 80's inspired wash...not bad.


And my favorite look is...Kelly Rowland! Everything about this look is on point. She looks cute and polished.


Have a great Memorial Day weekend guys!

With the coming of spring's warm weather, many like to shy away from denim jeans, especially the darker washes because they can make you look too hot (in a bad way, not the good way). Well fortunately for us, there is a great Spring-y alternative that still gives the clean look of darker denim - gray denim!

I LOVE gray denim because it is more versatile than most blue denim not only because it serves as a neutral, but because there are so many variances in hue. You can wear them with whatever color top and/or shoes (although pairing w/gray can looked washed out). Its like having several pairs of white or black jeans!

Ciara's all gray blase outfit was saved by her colorful Louis Vuitton sandals:


And for those of you who are expecting, you can get in on the trend too with these J&Company Beverly Rocks Thunder jeans:


Even Michael Jackson is getting in on this trend! LOL, nothing against Michael (I still love him), but I couldn't help myself when I saw this picture...

I didn't pay this trend too much attention last spring and summer because there are always a few people who rock ripped denim despite its current trendworthiness. However, I can't ignore what is. So whether you choose to create your own or buy some pre-made (main photo is Siwy's Hannah Cropped Slim Jean, $196), there are plenty of options out there. Plus, the varying levels of distressing assure that both the fashion-forward and mildly conservative have comfortable options (although I don't think any woman who would consider wearing this trend would ever really be considered "conservative").
