Rihanna in Dolce & Gabbana Stretch Denim Shirt

I love how the denim shirt looks smart with the pencil skirt and heels, I actually really like the colour combination too - Light blue, light peach and black patent heels.

J Brand Houlihan Skinny Cargo Pant!

Funny enough, I would not pick this if I came across it in the stores.....I mean cargo pants in 2010, erm ?!? But they seem to be popular among the celebs now and after seeing this picture from Concrete Loop - I am on the hunt for this J Brand Houlihan Skinny Cargo Pants in vintage olive, thanks to Rihanna's look (Maybe the shoes made me like the pants).

I guess the key is wearing it right and I mean R-I-G-H-T.. but how? I hope my friends would understand if they saw me in a pair...hahahahahaha.

What do you think? Who rocked it better?

Denim Jackets

Spring is almost hopefully here and we would not have this biting freezing cold for long (fingers crossed!). We can not wait to get the winter coats right to the very back of our closets and start dressing like each day is a fashion show and we are modeling the Spring '10 collections of our fabulous closets, starting with the...... Denim jacket for the not-so-warm days.

I like Vanessa Simmons pink-buttoned denim jacket, cute.

Of course, not surprisingly ever-thinking-outside-the-box Rihanna (or her stylist) has to present us with an edgy spiked/crystallised/studded denim jacket 

.....hmm I need those shoes! I have got to have them!

I also love this denim zip front jacket from Reiss, it is so different from the norm.

Yes, we are in the throwback era..woohoo..... we can so get away with old school clothing items in our closet...erm, well, ALMOST get away!

**Do not forget to check out The White Dress Shop Clearance Sale - they have loads of gorgeous dresses that can be worn in Spring and would look amazing when paired with denim jackets.**

How to wear Jeans to work

Happy Monday....can I just say that I would rather have it freezing cold than wet & cold anyday! There goes my Monday rant...lol

Doing my daily read on Instyle.com and I came across this lovely article, had to share it with you guys. If unlike me, you are allowed Casual Fridays, well and any other day you can get away with coming into work casual, then you might love this just as much as we do ( I left most of the article the way they have it on their site, it is too good to amend). So here goes...

Get a Boyfriend Blazer

For a classic look, try upgrading a sleek pair of jeans with a structured blazer, like Sarah Jessica Parker in a black velvet number & dark denim or a bright white tuxedo design and lighter/acid-washed pair, like Gywenth Paltrow's. Think suit and match light colors with light and dark with dark.















Embrace Sequins

A bit of shimmer is an instant outfit upgrade. If you are a risk-taker (and your office is fashion-forward), try a bolder sequined piece, like Rachel Bilson's eye-popping blazer. For a more understated look, try a shimmery tank under a cropped jacket a la Rihanna.














Throw On a Cardigan

Embellished sweaters lend retro charm to a pair of jeans. Look for crafty details that will dress up denim, like Penelope Cruz's frilly ruffles or Heidi Klum's beading.



















Buy a Silk Blouse

A sweet silk blouse give your jeans a feminine feel - look for tops with pretty patterns or intricate necklines. If your workplace is more formal, skip distressed denim (like Eva Longoria-Parker bootcuts) in favor of crisp pair of dark-wash jeans such as Katherine Heigi's skinnies.














Try a Little Leather Jacket 

A cropped leather jacket gives a jeans-and-a-T-shirt look a luxurious spin. Just skip the heavy motorcycle jackets in favor of light, soft skins in classic colors, like gray (Nicole Kidman) or brown (Malin Akerman) or black. Add a feminine touch with accessories like a great pair of heels and a fun bag.















Look For a Chic Button-Down

A crisp button-down shirt  is a no-fall piece for the office. For a streamlined appearance, tuck a light-hued blouse into matching skinny jeans like Kate Moss's and take it to the next level with chic heels and a status bag. Or, if your workplace is more laid-back, try a patterned version, like Sienna Miller's and add boots and a bright satchel.

Sass & Bide Neon Nights

Saw this on Rihanna recently and Fergie was spotted in a pair late last year. What do you think?

Neon Nights style is a Sass & Bide signature low rise, super skinny leg design.

Kate Beckinsale was also spotted last year in these jeans ...... love them

Rihanna - Clubbing In New York

Rihanna out and about in New York on Monday night. Loving her laid back look and the added leopard print boots which gives a wild-kick to it. Heart those shoes! Love it!

Crop-tops are also one of the 80s comeback this season and can be coupled with Skinny Jeans AND flat toned abs.

Get Ripped!

Still the big-hit of Spring/Summer 2009 - Ripped Jeans. The colour, length or amount of rips are not issues to worry about, as long as you are wearing them you are on trend.

A few more stars spotted in Ripped Jeans over the Summer.

Kate Beckinsale

Solange Knowles - Love her shoes...

Stars' Favorite Denim Trends

Came across this article on Instyle and here at 151th we feel it is fun knowing denim trends of stars, especially the style icons among them, so decided to share. Hope you enjoy it like we did.

Boyfriend Jeans

Talk about stylish comfortable clothes. Slouchy boyfriend jeans with heels and bold accessories for a style statement like Gwen Stefani or comfy like Reese Witherspoon with a tee and sneakers. The trick is to roll the bottoms several times for a cropped length that flatters the baggier style.

Skinny Jeans

Stovepipe jeans have become a closet classic thanks to versatility - I actually remember when these were not cool! This is one sexy style that works with, well, erm, everything in your closet (honestly, I feel so sexy in Skinnies). Wear them during the day like Racheal Bilson or for a night out like Vanessa Hudgens.

Trouser Jeans

They are the perfect combination of comfort and polish, the wider the cut makes your legs look miles long! Can be worn with a bright top and blazer like Kelly Ripa or for an edgier look, with a leather jacket and bold belt like Lauren Conrad.

High-Waist Jeans

One of my personal favorite. It adds instant curves and a higher waistline and most importantly, length to your legs - with a tucked in top and statement/bold belt. Jessica Alba and Emmy Rossum.

Distressed Jeans

This season's ultimate must-have. The key is to tailor the amount of shredding to suit your taste/personality: can be all-out edgy like Rihanna or kept simple and sophisticated like Heidi Klum.

White Jeans

One of the freshest denim trend right now is crisp white jeans. Can be worn in the summer with a floral top like Kate Bosworth or with a leather jacket and scarf for those chilly days, like Beyonce.

Boot-Cut Jeans

Eva Longoria-Parker and Penelope Cruz love the always stylish, classic boot-cut jean. The flattering cut works on all body types.

MIH

Deciding on the brands to carry I must say it is a hard decision to make - There are way too many brands that fit like gloves, out there. Without losing any more sleep (for now), we have decided to include MiH jeans; well it is number one on our list.

Made in Heaven is a British brand from the 60s, named so because its one goal was to provide the most perfect fitting, bum enhancing, leg lengthening jeans around. Today MiH has been rebranded and revived to suit today's generation while keeping its elegance and staying true to the name. MiH Jeans come in six cuts so there is something to flatter the figure in every way and it would appeal to women of all ages- from the young fashionista who would appreciate the quirkiness of owning a pair of vintage-inspired pair of jeans to the older working women who would appreciate the classic, streamlined look that can be achieved by wearing a pair of MiH jeans, it is certainly a label that crosses all boundaries.

About MiH from people in the know:

“Fabulous cuts. Fabulous washes. Not only do they fit perfectly, but they are comfortable too. And they make your bum look great!” Arabella Greenhill, Senior Fashion Editor, Marie Claire

“I was so impressed looking at all the different styles and colours that make up MiH. Chloe has done a great job reviving the brand. It still has a cool retro style, but it also feels cleverly modern, a balance that is really hard to get right.” Lucy bond, Senior Fashion Editor, InStyle.

“High-waisted jeans elongate the body, which is great for me as I’m short. They also look more chic and polished than my regular jeans”. Amanda Ross, UK Vogue.

Current/Elliott Skinnies

Stylists, Emily Current & Meritt Elliott with their love for vintage denim, met with friend Serge Azria, his innovative ideas, financial backing and abracadabra! Current/Elliott was born in summer of 2008! Their belief is dressing without rules and mixing high pieces and low pieces to create a fun and fearless elegance that is uniquely theirs. Serge Azria is the CEO, creative director, silent partner and owner of the brand.

Current/Elliot is all about customized vintage, breath ability matched with carefree femininity. The fit is more flattering for a woman’s body and does not sacrifice the comfort. They’re flattering in a rugged, relaxed way, while still allowing the wearer to look trendy and put together.

To be honest, Current/Elliot denim collection would make any woman commit major vices, the need to buy a pair in every single style - Gluttony. In sizes, most of their jeans run large compared to standard designer sizing and it is advised to size down one size (the joy of having a size "26" that fits so well on my size 27 waist is amazing). Alternative, if desired, you can keep your regular size to create a slouchy looser fitting jean. Either ways, their jeans are a pleasure to wear as they are extremely flattering to any figure.

Here are some of our favorite at 1511th....

Ciara, Rihanna and Kim Kardashian in the 1968 Loved Destroyed Skinny Jean - Edgy simple look. Do be careful with the rips because they really do have a mind of their own.
