Simple or Swank: Fashionable Tube Socks Heading back to school means stocking up on basic items like notebooks, pencils, socks, tees, and sneakers. A popular brand among elementary and tween girls, Juicy Couture makes frilly and sporty gear to suit the most posh of princesses. The problem is not every mom can (or wants to) pay the label's high prices.
Are you tired of uncomfortable, skin-tight jeans? If you're nodding your head yes, nab yourself a pair of Current/Elliott jeans — if you can.
Celebrity stylists Emily Current and Meritt Elliott initially caused a frenzy of interest in their loose-fit jeans when they wore them to fittings and photo shoots. Since then, the duo's denim line has celebrities, including Rachel Bilson and Katie Holmes, and budding stylistas alike waiting to get their hands on a pair.
Their vintage cuts, such as the Elephant Bellbottom, the Boyfriend Jean, and the Bush Flare Jean all have a "worn-in" feel with washes ranging from "Loved" to "Super Loved." And if you like them extra used, check out their "Destroyed" option, which includes holes and finishes that will make it look you've had these jeans for years. Don't forget to take our jean pocket quiz if you're a jean junkie!
It's that time, party people! Time to test your celebrity handbag knowledge by matching the hot bags to their famous owners. Don't you look forward to these celebrity handbag quizzes? I sure do. This one is harder than the last so start spinning those wheels . . .
