Madewell Email: The first sign of spring...

"Thanks!" to Marietta & Jaden, who shared the latest email Madewell (click here) sent yesterday.

The email features the Skinny Ankle Jeans ($95.00) which is described as the following: "Just in time for Spring— our Skinny Ankle Jeans, now in crisp, clean white".

I am all ready for Spring to come— bring on the warm weather and the leather sandals! However, white skinny jeans scare the crap out of me. I just know I cannot pull off the look with my pear shape frame. ;)

What are your thoughts on the Skinny Ankle Jeans? Do you like or dislike the style of white jeans?

J.Crew Email: Levi's 501 for J.Crew

"Thanks!" to Jaden who shared the following email that J.Crew sent earlier this week.

The email announces that new Levi's 501 jeans are available at J.Crew (click here to shop the entire line). Moreover, the jeans come in unique washes that were exclusively created for J.Crew.

An interesting factoid: Back in 1997, "Levi Strauss & Co. paid $25,000 for an approximately 100-year-old pair of jeans, believed to be one of the two oldest pairs of Levi's in existence." (Source: LA Times.)

Levi Strauss & Co. is definitely an iconic brand. I understand why J.Crew would want to partner with them.

What are your thoughts on J.Crew's partnership with Levi Strauss & Co.? Do you own or have tried on a pair of Levi's for J.Crew? If so, please share! ;)
