Everyone’s on a budget these days BUT you can still look great in denim this Fall season. Chic, fabulous and affordable, check out these jeans for under $100.

Great pairs that are both figure-flattering and budget-friendly!!!

Classic Jeans: Don’t get stuck in an unflattering trend if it doesn’t work on your body type — go for bootcut, the most universally flattering style. Fading on the thigh and a roomy fit in the leg have a slimming effect. Try these $99.00 Miss Sixty Extra Love jeans.

Long Jeans: A dark wash looks refined, making this pair office appropriate (if your work environment allows jeans, that is). A 35-inch inseam is ideal for long-legged gals, and Lycra adds stretch to contour curves. The find would be Black Orchid “Black Pearl” jeans for $95.00.

Black Jeans: Black jeans are the new black pants! Dressier than blue or white, this dark option is ultra-slimming. A skinny fit works well on lean legs, and the ankle-crop suits petites and for only $51.00 look at these Hurley One and Only Movement II denim pant.

Whether you’re looking for a particular denim-wash or style, don’t forget to be stylish and get what works for you!

Until the next style adventure,

Dear Fashionistas ~

Did you watch it? Why not! If you haven’t already … VH1 has embarked on a brand new show! GLAM GOD; the stylist series is here and ready to watch for your viewing pleasure.

In a competition show ripped straight from the pages of everyone’s favorite gossip magazines, comes Glam God, an 8 episode reality series hosted by film and television superstar, Vivica A Fox. Always a Red Carpet favorite, Vivica is an authority in what’s hot in fashion. Fox, with the help of her own Glam God panel will search for the next hot celebrity stylist. She is looking for the person who has what it takes to be a visionary in fashion trends, someone who can raise the bar in Celebrity style…the next Rachel Zoe, Phillip Bloch, or Robert Verdi…a Glam God.

With the help of various fashion and beauty industry heavyweights throughout the series, Vivica Fox will put these Stylists to the test and determine the winner. At the end of every episode, the contestants that fall short of creating a hot look will be sent packing. The one stylist that rises above the rest will be given the ultimate reward …the opportunity to launch their careers by styling an A-list celebrity and the $100,000 grand prize.

I just wanted to give you a brief synopsis of the show … BUT WATCH FOR YOURSELF! Its going to be a BIG hit!

Until the next adventure,
