Ralph Lauren Blue Label Lucia Suede Concho Pant $1,298 – Ralph Lauren knows Americana, and it shows in these classic pants adapted from vintage riding chaps.

Hautelook today has some great sales worth checking out, including Cosabella, Joe’s Jeans, and Urban Decay . If you’re not familiar with Hautelook, you’re definitely missing out! Hautelook provides its members with designer sales daily.

Cosabella lingerie is 40%, perfect for a little Holiday surprise.

Joe’s Jeans today are up to 65% off, this also includes skirts and outerwear.

Urban Decay, one of my fave cosmetics brands, is 50% off.

Bluenotch Jeans is a great departure from all those other high end denim brands. While I’m not one to endulge in expensive jeans (because I don’t think it is worth it at all), I would much prefer these over a Joe’s Jeans or some of the other “It” jeans of today. Their other pieces are great too. I’m really feeling the red jacket/vest above.

Think the next counterfeit designer item is the new Louis Vuitton bag? Think again. The new counterfeit obsession, among us, is now blue jeans. Of the highly imported are True Religion, Joe’s Jeans and Antik Denim. Intercepting a whopping $18 million worth of apparel, customs officials have made it clear that the counterfeit items are rising in numbers from year to year.

“The counterfeiting problem exists with Rolex watches and high-end jeans because people want the cachet without spending the money.” says a property protection attorney from Chicago

People no longer want to stroll through central park with their knock-off rolex and peeling logo on a faux Prada purse. Jeans are carrying the weight of this side of the market. It truly is a substantial undertaking, and a surprising one at that.
