This summer, we dare you to add a little flare to your denim wardrobe. Yes, the 70′s silhouette has made a come back and thanks to versions from our favorite denim labels like Joe’s, Citizens, and Seven for All Mankind, we are lusting for hip hugging, bell bottoms. The look is perfect for laid back summer days and balmy nights, especially when paired with a tank or halter top, and a cute pair of sandals.

If you’re feeling as though this look may not be right for you, don’t fret. We understand that one flare does not fit all and therefore have a variety of different washes, rises, and leg openings. Newer flare styles tend to have a higher rise and leg openings can range from a modest 18 inches, to a sweeping 27 inches. Seven for All Mankind even has a super cute Crop Flare that we plan on wearing all summer long. Just go for the look that you like the best! With so much to select from, there’s bound to be a flare for every body, including yours.

When I think of summer, I think of dresses. There’s something about the sunshine and the warm breezes that makes me want to wear something free-flowing and feminine. This is definitely my girliest time of year.  And I may be making this up, but I really believe that dresses are probably the most comfortable thing to wear when the temperature soars to an unbearable degree. Whether long or short, strapless, tank, or with a little sleeve, a dress is probably the quickest way to get out of the house and on with your errands or to an event, looking pretty and put together. This summer, Susana Monaco, Three Dots, and Michael Stars have some of our favorite dress styles, perfect for just about any occasion you can imagine, from barbecue to wedding.

Often, when I think of casual summer wear, I think of Juicy Couture’s comfy Terry separates. They’ve definitely become a staple to lounge around in, and the fun, vibrant colors put them in the VIP section of my closet as soon as the weather turns warm. However, our sale’s rep over at Juicy Couture told us about an interesting trend that has been developing and our sales definitely confirm: White velour is in for summer. It never occurred to me to rock my velour past winter, but it actually makes sense! Juicy Couture velour is a luxurious cotton blend that can easily transition into every season.

Joe's Jeans The Skinny Micro Flare

With memories of Memorial Day weekend still fresh in my mind and the summer solstice only a few days away, I would like to confess that I’ve already pulled out my white jeans and worn them all over town… Several times. It’s to the point that I’m considering a new pair… Or two. I mean, at the rate I’m going, I’ll definitely need several back ups if I have plans on wearing them ’till Labor Day. And if you’ve taken a look at our massive white denim inventory, with skinny, cropped, bootcut, and flared styles from all of our favorite brands, you wouldn’t blame me. Not one bit.

7 for All Mankind has some of the best bell bottom styles out there and we’ve just received a shipment of their take on the trend.  We’re loving the comfort and hip contouring fit of the 7 For All Mankind Bell Bottom Jean in Vintage California. This funky flare owes it’s ease of style to 12 oz italian stretch denim fabrication and 9.25″ rise. I can’t wait to nab a pair so that I can wear them all spring and summer long!

The J Brand 901 Denim Legging has been a celebrity favorite and an even bigger hit with our customers this year because of its super soft fabrication and wearability.

Fergie was in attendance at the 5th annual Billboard Women in Music Awards in NYC on Friday night, looking well put together and camera ready in her J Brand 901 Denim Leggings. I must say, I’m loving her look. The glossy nude lip, tousled hair and (mostly) black ensemble came together in a way that just works.  Want to try your hand at effortless rock star chic style? Lucky for you, we just did a massive restock of the J Brand 901 Denim Leggings in Pitch and Olympia washes and most sizes are available.  

J Brand 901 Denim Legging in Pitch



Khloe Kardashian was spotted out in Mission Viejo, California rocking a painted on pair of Avedon Slick Skinny Jeans in Star by Citizens of Humanity. The Kardashian sisters are no strangers to the wonders of this particular pair of Citizens, and they never fail to look flawless when wearing them. The Avedon Slick Skinny in Star has also been a top seller on our site and as a result, it is a style and wash that we continue to restock. If you’re looking for a super black, super stretchy skinny jean, these are definitely the ones!

AG Angel Bootcut Cords in Suede

It never fails… Year after year, AG Angel Bootcut Cords prove to be a tried and true customer favorite. Not surprisingly, this week they’re our #1 seller. What can we say? They have an amazing fit, they’re super soft, and of course, they’re the perfect boot cut. We especially love the rich, velvety tones of the color selections. Whether you choose the inky blue Dark Night, the on trend olive hued Forest, or any other shade of AG Angel Bootcut Cord, you just can’t go wrong. They’re all the perfect complement to your thermals, tees, and cashmere and are excellent for dressing up or down all season long.

With that said, I’ve added “Shop LA Style Staffer Stalker” to my job description and set out to quiz everyone that comes within a foot of me about their most desired recent additions to the site. This week, Liz in our Customer Service Department told me all about a few of her favorite things.

J Brand Super Stretch Houlihan Cargo Pant in Olympia

J Brand Super Stretch Houlihan Cargo Pant in Olympia

J Brand ushered in the Slim Cargo craze with the celebrity favorite Houlihan and once they were introduced to the site, a frenzy began. Our customers didn’t waste any time,  making it a number 1 seller . The demand for more colors and restocked sizes got us to thinking that there could quite possibly be more to life than leggings. We figured it couldn’t get any better, but no sooner than the thought occurred, along came the J Brand Super Stretch Houlihan Cargo Pant in Olympia.

Thanks to 4% lycra, the super soft cotton/poly fabrication is (dare we say) more comfortable than your favorite sweat pants. A 29″ inseam makes them the perfect length for ladies 5′ 5″ and under. Tonal stitching completes the unique, slimming look of the Olympia wash, which we love mostly because it’s not your run of the mill black or dark blue.

Ella Moss Avedon Folded Stripe Tank in Oatmeal

Ella Moss Avedon Folded Stripe Tank

This stripey little number caught our eye as soon as it showed up in our Ella Moss shipment and we haven’t been able to stop looking at it. It combines so many of our favorite style elements  and honestly, if done wrong, it could have very easily gone awry. A cowl, a racer back, graphic black stripes, and earthy oatmeal sounds like too much to put into one tank, but thanks to Ella Moss’ impeccable construction and clever pleating it all comes together to create a surprisingly versatile, piece that can effortlessly be paired with jeans, slacks, a skirt, or just about anything else in your closet.

Cyndi-Bands Benefiting Breast Cancer Charity in Think Pink

50% of all sales go to The Los Angeles County Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure

Some ponytail holders can cause damage by snagging strands or even becoming tangled in your hair. That’s why we love our Cyndi-Bands, a line of elastic hair ties that also double as bracelets! They are made of stretchy elastic fabric and come in a rainbow of gorgeous colors, but for the month of October, we’ve streamlined the spectrum to four lovely shades of pink.  In honor of October Breast Cancer Awareness Month we are donating 50% of all proceeds from the sales of limited edition Think Pink Cyndi-Bands directly to the Los Angeles County Affiliate for Susan G. Komen for the Cure!
