Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 07:38:44 PDT

We've been smitten with London denim brand MiH Jeans for a while now. Not only does its denim fit like a dream - one of our editors owns three pairs - we love how the cuts and silhouettes are modern yet classic at the same time. For its Fall lookbook, the brand dreamed up a vision of throwback cool via high-rise flares, dark denim skinnies, cozy corduroy pants, and even some special collection pieces like a '50s style leather biker jacket. Additionally, we're taking cues from the lookbook and plan on styling our denim with tailored tops and felt hats for a sexy downtown aesthetic. Check out our top three picks below, then check out the rest of the lookbook in the slideshow.

Cozy Into These Denim-Inspired Beauty Products

Jaime Richards — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 03:10:26 PDT

If you could capture the essence of denim, what would it smell like? For Esprit, it would include notes like pomegranate, tiaré flower, peony, vanilla bean, white patchouli, and crystal musk, as featured in its new scent, Esprit Jeans Style For Her. For Diesel, which plans to launch Fuel For Life Homme Denim in June, it would be a woody citrus juice featuring raspberry, citrus, lavender, and dry wood.

But the denim-inspired beauty trend is not just limited to fragrance. Brands from MAC to Bobbi Brown to Lipstick Queen all have products with jeans as the overlying theme. And for something truly fun, you can even wear your denim on your nails with Sally Hansen's Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips in Skinny Jeans ($10). As always, click on any of the images above for more details.
