Level 99!
Apparently she likes them so much she actually tweeted about them with a twitpic. The stylist of all stylists style of choice is Level 99's "Storm Signature" wide leg jeans. Notice how she wears them; so long and loose. It's definitely her look. The best part about it is that these Level 99 jeans retail for less than $100.
I know. That's a weird thing to say. I love Beyonce. I really do. In all honesty, she keeps such tight control over her image there really isn't enough information out there about her to scrutinize. Smart actually. With that said, I always found her sense of style a little, um, over the top. She has, how should we say it, exaggerated tastes. There. That works.
The superstar was spotted arriving at Nice Airport in a pair of J Brand "Agnes" coated moto-zip skinny jeans in Stealth, a shimmery black top, a white blazer and black and white shoes. I love how she topped it off with the hat and sunglasses. The black and white is chic but the accessories are kinda quirky.
It's not as if this ensemble is especially remarkable, although she does look fantastic. It's just that it's on trend and so normal for her. I like it. What do you think?
It didn't take long for the flare-leg silhouette to be introduced before these celebs got their hands on a pair. From resorty to throwback to casual, their looks offer up some great style inspiration.

Kourtney Kardashian was spotted sans sisters, sans son, sans boyfriend, sans momager or sans any other part of the konsolidated kollective kalled Kardashian recently. To see her alone is actually kind of...weird.
The pint-sized sister was probably out doing the Hollywood thing --translation "running errands"-- and looked pretty comfy casual in a pair of BleuLab Jeans in French Chalk.
BleuLab is fairly new on the scene and in a saturated market is creating a niche for itself by producing a denim line that is one hundred percent reversible. Some of the ways this is achieved is by using sewn-in pockets, double-sided fabric and two-way zippers and button closures. On Singer22 the price points hover around the $200 range making them bonafied premium, but if you think about it, your almost getting two pairs of jeans in one.

Heidi Klum is like the quintessential supermodel turned supermom. Heidi and hubby Seal are hardly ever spotted without their brood in tow. And it is one handsome brood. So maybe we should stop calling her The Kluminator and start calling her The Mominator. Catchy. Don't ya think?
Heidi was spotted out with her recent addition, daughter Lou Samuel, doing some shopping in Century City L.A. You have to start them out young. We kid. The model mom wore a G-Star RAW "Arc Jacket" in Road Wash over a flowy maxi dress. Does she ever look bad? I guess once a supermodel, always a supermodel.

Wow, I am really out of the loop. I thought Gen Art was defunct and had been for some time. Sorry Gen Art for being so painfully wrong. Especially since I admired all they'd done and have done (and now, will do) for emerging artists. Oh well. Ball dropped. Picked up. Moving on.
This week 7 For All Mankind hosted the Gen Art Film Festival Launch Party at their Soho store. The party was hosted by Lake Bell with Anna "Where Have You Been" Chlumsky, Victoria Mahoney and Yolonda Ross in attendance.
I haven't watched one episode of American Idol this season, but the constant news coverage makes it hard not to know what's going on in the weekly singing competition. Here's what I know from watching CNN and HLN, Scotty McCreery is fighting for his life against Lauren Alaina who is the judges' favorite to win. Aren't there like tornadoes and end of the world drama going on? It's ashame what the news inundates us with sometimes. But I digress.
Scotty McCreery wore H.A.-67 "Legend" 2 Year wash during his performances last week. The week prior he wore a pair of H.A.-67 "Mika Mika" in Dark Used while receiving good news on the results show. I would wear them again Scotty. These jeans are obviously good luck for you.

I can't help but say it over and over again. I am so stoked with the return of color in denim. It is just so long overdue and we've done everything we can possibly do with indigo...for the time being.
Rachel Bilson is the latest celeb, in a growing list, to be spotted in pink jeans. Her brand of choice is J Brand's "935" low-rise capri in Pale Rose which she wore while taping an appearance at Fox & Friends.
The jeans retail for $176 and can be purchased at www.jbrandjeans.com.

The Jersey Shore crew has arrived in Italy. As a reluctant fan, I have to (hate to) admit that I'm awfully curious about how the motherland is going to receive the guidos and guidettes.
From the looks of the fans surrounding Pauly D and The Situation snapping photos, they must be getting a very warm reception. While Sitch channeled My Cousin Vinny in a white tracksuit and huge medallion, Pauly D opted for a pair of Cult of Individuality "Hagen" relaxed style jeans in Rafter. I don't normally compare the styles of the two as they are a little too, shall we say, colorful, for my taste, but in this case Pauly D is the hands down winner.
The jeans retail for $135 and can be purchased at www.cultofindividuality.com.
Emmy Rossum is known for putting together some purretty interesting looks like here, here and here. Love it or hate it, she's definitely got a style all her own. I'm not always in love with what she wears, but I do like how she mixes and matches fairly conventional items, then jazzes them up with just a hint of quirkiness.
At the City of Hope Awards in Universal City, CA, Emmy didnt go with just a hint this time, but instead opted for a bold statement in a lime green, snakeskin-embossed leather skirt. Her conventional item was a $49 American Eagle Denim Jacket. I have to say, I am honestly on the fence about how I feel about her ensemble. Help me out. What do you think about Emmy's look?
The star wore the "Nautical Striped Boat-Neck Sweater" which retails for $89.50 and the "Vintage Cut-Off Shorts". The items retail for $89.50 and $69.50 respectively and can be purchased at www.denimandsupply.com
