The skinny jean has begun to mutate and take on a new form. We’ve seen skinnies so tight that we can’t sit down properly and the ones a little looser but still don’t work with all our shoes. Lately there has been a shift towards a (let’s call it) flare. “This adapted skinny is tight fitting to the calf then slightly flared out,” says Over the Rainbow Owner Joel Carman.

I personally prefer these new skinny jeans with a slight flare.  They fit most shoe styles and make my legs look longer compared to the skinny that seem to make me look shorter.

Add a pair of these to your wardrobe and push the super skinnies to the back of the closet.

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, La Senza hosted a party to promote the many gifts and saucy outfits that can be found in-store. Media (comme moi) received an extra special Naughty Nights gift that included many goodies: Body Kissables Edible Body Icing, Body Kissables Kissable Massage Oil, Ooh La Lace Thong With Flower and Silk blindhold.

Marni is bringing bold prints and patterns, attention to detail and fun designs to H&M in the collection available this spring. “I wanted to create a true Marni wardrobe by revisiting all our favorite pieces in signature fabrics and prints. As always, I love juxtaposing prints and colours, mixing modern tribal with Bauhaus graphic adding sporty utilitarian elements,” says Consuelo Castiglioni, Founder and Creative Director.

Here are some photos of the collection…
