Styling the American Apparel Easy Jean

American Apparel has a series of high-waisted styles and one of their most popular pick is the Easy Jean. This style comes in 11 colours and is a bit pricey at $72 but it's totally worth it. They smooth out your body and lift your butt (I'm not kidding). Everything looks perfect in these jeans. Can you tell I'm in love?

So, because these are pretty popular I wanted to give some ways of how to wear them. These looks would cross-over to any gender, as I dress pretty androgynous anyways. 

THE MORE YOU TALK, THE LESS I LISTEN

Trend Report: Stripes

So seasons are starting to change and trends are starting to transform.

ALL ABOARD THE TREND TRAIN, NEXT STOP: Stripes!

I wanted to show how stripes are being used on the runways and then show you how to incorporate stripes into your wardrobe if you're on a budget. Let's get going!

So first off, I don't know if any of you remember but awhile back Anna Dello Russo (editor-at-large of Vogue Japan and full-time fashionista) did a collaboration with H&M. As part of that collection, she took over H&M's twitter account to answer questions and I asked her what she thought some upcoming trends were going to be.

She was RIGHT! (no surprise there)

You can see stripes in high fashion numerous times too! The runways were littered with stripes!
