Look What I Made Today!

It's the trend board I made for work. These are the trends that French Connection is following. It looks pretty good, if I do say so myself!

Obsession: Legging Jeans

Legging jeans. I was a little skeptical when it came to the supertight-fitting denim trend, but now I'm officially a convert. My friend Kathryn has these Silence and Noise Pull-On Jeans from Urban Outfitters, and they always looked so cute on her.

So, I decided to go down to the mall to try some on for myself. THEY ARE AMAZING. The denim is superstretch, so they basically suck your legs in. It has a higher rise elastic waistband, so you don't have to deal with the pesky muffin top. Like I said, they're amazing. Also, they're the first pair I've jeans I've ever bought that don't stretch out in like 20 minutes. Don't they make my legs look great? (Sorry for the giant picture)

The Leggings Debate Rages On.

While piddling around the internet today, I noticed that the blogs are paying alot of attention to leggings as pants today.  Fashionista posted an entry about Rock & Republic's faux denim leggings. 

Nylon's blog posted about Les Chiffoniers 100% suede leggings, costing $1005.  Yikes.

  Expensive brands aren't the only one's hopping on the leggings-as-pants bandwagon.  American Apparel, whom I blame for the whole leggings-as-pants phenomena, also carries faux-denim leggings.

Am I the only one who HATES this trend?  I surely hope not.
