A couple of months back, I blogged about Spanx Jeans and even did a brief comparison with Uniqlo’s Ultra Stretch jeans.

Little did I realise that shortly after the post, Uniqlo launched a similar version of jeans with a “Smart Shape band” that helps to tuck in the tummy. Their version is known as the “Smart Shape Jeans“.

Saw this and couldn’t help trying to find out more when I saw this on my email…

After all, who wouldn’t want a pair of jeans that could conceal the muffin top??

Spanx, best known for its shapewear – go check it out if you haven’t – have also a range of jeans that help to achieve slimmer silhouette. Launched since second half 2014, the jeans range now boasts several different fit and wash.

If you were to ask me which is my denim du jour, I would not hesitate to introduce you to Uniqlo.

Indeed, there are many cult jeans labels out there. But in my opinion, many of them could not hug the Asian curves as well as Uniqlo Jeans (UJ). I often run into problems with European/US cut which hangs too loosely at the waist, but fit just right at the hips. With UJ, this issue is non-existent.

This Fall/Winter, the Japanese retailer had a refresher on their denim offerings, including some new styles for the season. And I thought it’s apt for me to introduce to all of you my “go-to” denim brand again.

Told ya that you will be seeing the DKNY floral jeans pretty often! I put together this denim on denim outfit over the weekend. Love how it looks both casual and happy at the same time!

I visited ParkRoyal on Pickering for brunch on Sunday and I was eager to break into my new dress!

I have two Denim secrets to share with all of you today. The first is on Wrangler’s reversible jeans and the second, this amazing little studs known as Hem Gems! You might need them after you have gotten your new pair of jeans … just saying!

Will you buy jeans from Sephora?

We know Sephora as the mega beauty wonderland but it seems that Sephora Italy is working with Italian brand LeRock to retail “Lift-Up” jeans, which is somewhat like the push-up bra for the bum. Each pair will be priced from €80 to €200.

This is apparently not a hasty decision from Sephora, as they had tested the denim sale at two Rome locations and the official launch will be held on September 9 at its Milan flagship store.

I just find it awkward that Sephora has decided to venture into fashion retail. For all we know, this could be a one-off collaboration. I’m not sure whether the jeans will ever hit the shores of Singapore but in the meantime you can look for other jeans, or use lifting cream to push up the bottom.
