Coated

Coated and texturized jeans are a trend that caught my eye from the very beginning.  I love how they add an edge to plain old skinny's, yet are a bit more demure than leather leggins.  I just ordered this pair of Rag and Bone "the legging jean" from Shopbop and couldn't be more excited to pair them with comfy sweaters and suede booties.

Keeping Denim Fresh

Avoid washing jeans at all costs.  If jeans aren't visibly soiled, experts recommend throwing jeans the freezer to eliminate odors and get jeans feeling fresh.  

If staining does occur, hand wash with a color protective detergent.  Make sure you use the coldest water possible.

If you're one of those people that just isn't going to hand wash your jeans, try at least to only wash every 4 to 5 wears, and when you do wash them, turn them inside out.

NEVER EVER PUT JEANS IN THE DRYER.  This causes colors to fade and fabric to lose it shape.  Fabric softener speeds up this process as well.  

If you've jumped on the band-wagon of the ultra bright colored jeans, you'll want to wash those babies solo.  They stain everything. 

Dry cleaning is the very best way to care for jeans.

Most Wanted

I'm wanting to break out the sweaters and do a lilttle shopping.  This past week has been gorgeous, with temps near 90, but in all honesty, could I please just have some cooler weather so I can go shopping for fall clothes?  Below is what I'm coveting most.
