Satisfy Your Denim Desires
Denim is always in style. But, the styles of denim is ever-changing. For Fall 2009, acid wash, destroyed and faded denim are hot and popular. It’s time to put away your dark, tailored denim for now and update your look with some new denim pieces.
Revisit the 80s with a pair of acid wash jeans. While the trend is 80s inspired, don’t reuse an actual pair from the 80s, as the 2009 acid wash jeans style includes a lower rise and a more patterned acid wash look, as opposed to the allover acid look from the 80s. Acid wash jeans aren’t restricted to just blue anymore. Look for acid wash jeans in black, too. Don’t pair with a white shirt. Instead, go with a graphic tee and a jacket.
Destroyed denim adds a stylish edge to your wardrobe. Younger fashion-philes can get away with a heavily destroyed look and exposed knees, while the older sector should stick with frayed hems and a minimal amount of holes and destruction. Avoid cliché by not topping your destroyed denim jeans with a tattoo-inspired shirt or a rock concert tee. Create balance. Women should consider wearing a floral or painterly blouse with their destroyed jeans, while men should top their jeans with a collared shirt and a corduroy blazer.
Lastly, faded denim jackets have made a come back. Here’s a very important tip: whatever you do, do NOT wear your faded denim jacket with a pair of jeans. That’s just tacky. Women, a faded denim jacket makes a great addition to a boho chic dress or a form-fitting LBD with a pair of moto-inspired ankle boots. And men, wear your denim jacket with a pair of cargo pants or corduroys. The fit should be fitted, not baggy.

Fall 2009 Trend: Black, White and Style Allover
What’s black and white with style allover? One of the hottest trends of Fall 2009 – black and white. Now, you could go from store to store searching for stylish black and white pieces that go great together. Or… you could go to your one-stop shop for everything black and white: White House │ Black Market.
At White House │ Black Market, you’ll find boutique style shopping with fabulous fashion in shades of black and white. White House │ Black Market offers wonderfully honest simplicity with remarkable individuality. It’s class, sophistication and contemporary style all rolled into one.
There are various ways you can incorporate this trend into your wardrobe – romantic, mod or fashion-forward. To create a romantic black and white look, try a simple yet sexy black pencil skirt, such as the Elysee Corset Pencil Skirt. Pair with a frilly white blouse, like the Sleeveless Cascade Ruffle Shell. Both are available at White House │ Black Market.
If you’re going for a retro mod look, try the White House │ Black Market Tweed Wing Collar Coat in an Ecru with Black print, which features oversize black buttons. Wear it with a black or white mini dress and knee-high boots.
But if you long for something more avant garde, purchase the Drapeneck Tunic Dress which features a beautiful black and cream swirl design. Wear it with the Lamb Leather Jacket. The asymmetrical zipper on the jacket adds just the right amount of edge. Both pieces can be purchased at White House │ Black Market.
