Never Is the Next New Thing

No Need for Clearasil

by

I was checking out the website of my favorite jeans brand — the annoyingly named Acne — and I’m kind of loving the look of the loose-fitting Generic Girl style. I’m not sure how it would look on me, but the way Acne styled it on their perfect-bodied models makes it look sex-ay. The peach version is on sale for $119, down from $299.


The fabulous studded Cherie skirt is on sale for $159, way down from $399.

This might be the studded skirt that Rihanna was recently photographed wearing. (An anonymous commenter here pointed that out.)

Speaking of denim on sale, check out the Barneys website. Stella McCartney jeans are on serious sale — a high-rise straight leg is $69, down from $275.

  1. Wendy: Don’t you just hate the name of that brand! At any rate, the look on the model is sex-ay indeed, but I fear on me it would look vomit-ay.

  2. i've said it before & i'll say it just one more time… thank you, lord, for barneys sales.

  4. That’s a lot of money to pay for jeans that I’ll grow out of before the month is over. Summer BBQ’s – my downfall.

  9. I hate how much I love that studded skirt.

    I also hate that Barney’s is bombarding me with postcards crowing about sales when I. Am. On. A. No-Buy!!! Aaaaaarrrghhhhh!!!!

  12. those peach pants look really comfy, and that black skirt is super sleek and sexy. love at all!

  14. Acne jeans, look good but the name just annoying. you are so right! adore the little bottie heels. i still need to find a pair of fall.

  15. You’d look brilliant in those looser-fitting jeans; you’ve got the legs and the shoes for it!

  16. Mmmmm, I can’t decide if I like those jeans but I can’t really tell if those could fit my style

  18. I do like the cut of those jeans, but I’d def look like a midget in those.

    Going to go check out the Barneys site!

  21. I love Acne jeans in general! They always create a great shape surprisingly! Oh my, I am so so soooooo tempted on that skirt! It is really rocking!

  22. i had some sweet peach jeans from miller’s outpost in 7th grade. ugh so fierce.

    I HATE THE NAME ACNE TOO. No one talks about it. It’s like the big fat elephant in the room in every story about those jeans.
