Lately I've been going through phases of what I think I need most in my life. For a while it was shoes, then makeup and now denim. Although winter is slowly but surely drawing to a close (what am I saying we still have a month, it must be all the S/S collection drops edging me on) I still feel like my denim supply needs a bit of improving.

Enter sass & bide Lovestate cropped denim who have done their own take on the coloured denim trend. I'm a little conservative when it comes to colours - I like to know that I can wear something for years on end so of course I picked the mustard. I've been looking for a pair of mustard/ camel/ beige jeans but they've all ended up looking like either a) the colour of my skin b) like horse riding jodhpurs because they're too skinny. But I have nothing bad to say about these jeans. They're a little on the slouchy side -the girls at s&b recommended to go a size down (lucky for me though I'm a size 24 so I really have no choice) but they're cropped, which we all know is a godsend for shorter girls.

I love them to death already, they're bright enough to get noticed but also to gain the comment 'for a second there i thought you weren't wearing pants'. Yes I will be wearing denim this summer.

After many a visit to the Ksubi store, phone calls back and forth, patiently waiting for Harper's to return them from a shoot and a battle between some guy named 'Kevin' who wanted the same pair, I finally landed myself my first pair of Ksubi jeans! And let me tell you they are ah-mazing. These are the Elle Aye La Femme's - they have a black wax type finish to them and they're cropped so they're perfect on vertically challenged people like myself because they're just the right length! And they're super skinny and so flattering. Just a little something different than your average black skinnies. There aren't many around either (that's why I had to fight for one of the last 24's I could find in stores - although My Catwalk has a few). Worth every last cent of my pay. I've been wearing them three days in a row. Love!

Trust me to be up at 3am and suddenly remember the kolors video premieres and the new range hits stores today. 

A eerie, mystical, Bill Viola inspired video set to opera creates this kind of otherworldly, chilling atmosphere that had me hypnotised. Although it was nothing more than three skinny models (you get a lot of close ups of their hips and torsos) including 'it' girl Bambi, there was something about it that made me keep want to watch from start to finish. 

Whatever the video was going to look like, everyone knew it would be huge success from the get go. I was just a little disappointed they didn't showcase all the colours. I'm desperate to have a look but there's nothing up yet on the ksubi website.

Coloured jeans have made a comeback and are well and truly here to stay. General Pants better had better stock up.  I'm counting on them.

Ma-roon, ma-rone, call it whatever you will but coloured denim is so in right now. And if you're not daring enough to go for a standout yellow or orange, I'd say maroon is a safe play. It's not your conventional blue denim, but it still adds enough flare to an outfit without going too over the top. I absolutely love this look, it's part rock chic, part classic easy chic (depending on what you style it with) - and if you know me well enough, anything that Rachel Bilson endorses I will pretty much follow. 

After hunting around the online stores for a potential pair (of which I had little luck), my pick is the Paige denim Verdugo Jeggings (Eternity).
