Brighten Your Day With Our Fall Colored Denim Roundup

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Vibrantly colored denim has been around for more than a few seasons now, and it has a very special place in our tiny NYC closets month after month. Summer’s colored denim was a mix of electric brights and muted pastels, and fall’s palette is just as diverse. Deep plums and reds stand beside hot pink and cobalt blue in lookbooks across the spectrum, giving us endless opportunities to jazz-up our cooler month wardrobes. Check out our fall colored denim roundup and tell us which pair is your favorite.

True Religion Uses Breast Cancer to Get Free Advertising on Blogs

I have nothing against donating money to breast cancer research, but I do have a problem with using it to get free advertising. True Religion wants bloggers to put this widget on their sites so readers buy their ugly jeans.

THE TEN: Pointless Things Jon Gosselin Would Spend His $200,000 Withdrawl On [Via Buzzfeed]

Edited by Hillary Frazier

John Gosselin withdrew $200,000 from his joint bank account after being specifically ordered not to. Here’s what Buzzfeed thinks he’s probably spending it on:

1. 4,000 Ed Hardy Trucker Hats

2. 25, 673 (4oz.) Cans of Axe Body Spray

3. 13, 333 Brass ‘Truck Nuts’

4. 2, 051 Embroidered Men’s Blouses

5. 322 Front Row Tickets to UFC Championship Fights

6. 626 Pairs of True Religion Bootcut Jeans

7. 8,003 Half Hour Mystic Tanning Sessions

8. 3,418 Affliction Shirts

9. 32,000 Puka Shell Necklaces

10. (And the only acceptable one) 89 Months of Child Support: The average is $280 per child, per month, which would make John’s  monthly payment for all of his kids $2,240. Should’ve thought about that before you cheated and then agreed to a divorce, Johnny!

I know this isn’t super fashion related, but I couldn’t help but laugh when I read it!

QUOTABLE: K Fed

Kevin Federline is starting his own children’s clothing line because he doesn’t want to pay a lot for his kid’s jeans.

“It’s a really tough business, I’m trying to take it seriously and make a quality product for kids but not have parents pay like $500 or something ridiculous for a pair of jeans. You buy your kids a pair of True Religions, then they roll around in the dirt like kids do and a $200 pair of jeans is gone. With this economy, I’m looking to do something much more reasonable.”

Has he heard of the Gap or Old Navy?

ADDICT: Gisele Bundchen for True Religion

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

I adore Gisele Bundchen, but I hate True Religion and I hate this advertisement. First of all, way to sell cut-off shorts that look exactly like the pair I wear every day of summer that cost me a whopping $4 at Salvation Army. I really hate how this ad is trying to be rugged, when in actuality, True Religion caters to girls with Ugg boots and Eurotrash trying to be “different” by rejecting chic European fashion. But Gisele looks fabulous as usual; I can’t even bash her for agreeing to this campaign.
