Boyfriend Jeans for Less

2/25/09 6:07 PM

So, I'll admit I was more than a little skeptical about the new boyfriend jean trend (partially because it was introduced by Katie Holmes). After looking at new trends for the spring, however, the baggy, distressed look has grown on me. It's grown, yes, but not enough for me to drop serious cash on a pair. Take, for example, this pair of Madewell jeans (shown below) that go for $200 a pair.   Cute, yes, but is a pair of ruined jeans worth that much? I think not. My solution? These great American Eagle Boy Fit Jeans (picture below). They may not be premium denim quality, but they're ripped anyway, so who cares? So, if you're loving the baggy look without the baggy price, run out and grab a pair of these!   -Nikki Siegel... 4 comments

For the Love of Frye Boots

Despite being up to my knees in boots I have fallen completely head over heels in love with these new Frye "Carson" cowboy boots. After my first encounter with the boots online I knew that I had to see them in person. Yes, I stalked a pair of shoes. Consensus? They're absolutely amazing! The leather is so smooth and buttery that I sat in the store touching them for a few minutes (until I realized that I was just making the fact that I couldn't own them more painful). The burnt red color, albeit absolutely impractical, is so beautiful. There's also a really delicious jade color and some other less flashy options. I love these boots as a statement piece, but also as go-to shoes on a "jeans and T-shirt" type day. If you have $352 to drop on a pair of boots, please buy... 5 comments
