From Miami to Japan, Kasil jeans are becoming a big name in designer, high end fashion denim. Offering fresh and innovative styles for both men and women, Kasil's jeans are created for all occasions, and are hand crafted creating unique distressing and detailing. Created 100% by hand, Kasil jeans offer a level of superior quality found in few other denim lines.

One of the most outstanding styles from their fall line is the Celine skinny jean. These pants are specially designed for a night on the town, and have your favorite pair of heels in mind. Unlike most other skinny jeans that scrunch at the ankle, these are designed to raise slightly at the heel, to create a more pleasing and sleek look.

To see where you can find Kasil jeans at a retailer near you, check out their website and get your hands on a pair of their unique, high quality jeans.

Mini Madness, Couture in the City Fashion Blog



















Kahri Hibiscus Mini Dress, $80.00

All of that time that you have been clocking in at the gym this winter is about to pay off because mini dresses are in for Spring. Time to bust out those toned thighs and calves because anything goes this season for mini dresses. Whether you want to go conservative or uber short, there is a mini dress out there for you.

If you choose to go with the "super mini" look, like Fergie Ferg, then make sure you follow up with a pair of tights or (shudder) leggings underneath so you don't give everyone around you a Hollywood style show of your bits. And unless you are supermodel tall, make sure you pair your mini with some killer heels to give your legs the most mileage.

May we suggest: the hibiscus trim mini from Kahri is perfect for almost any body type and gives a little more length for mini-shy wearers to play with.

Sarah Jessica Parker: Bitten Update

Sneak Peek at SJP's New Line "Bitten"

Word on the street says that Sarah Jessica Parker's new line, "Bitten" will consist of 500 pieces including cashmere sweaters, dresses, active wear, jeans and accessories. The best part? Each piece will only cost $20 or less.

What? This line debuts in June and I predict that at those prices, everything will be sold out in the first day. Stay tuned for more updates.

Local Celebrity Creates Eco Friendly Tee With Proceeds Benefiting Global Green



Local Celebrity Launches New Eco Friendly T-shirt at the Global Green USA Oscar Party

Local Celebrity was started by three young siblings (two brothers and one sister) in a barn (yes! Grandma’s barn to be exact) down in San Diego county. After gaining lightening speed momentum, they moved up to Los Angeles to formally start a legit apparel brand. Local Celebrity has created one of the most popular t-shirt brands without their audience even knowing. Looking to push the brand name further, Local Celebrity will also expand into other branded silk screened categories along with their “saying T’s.” Look for cut & sew hoodies, fly caps, and fresh kicks to round out the collection.

Printed on 100% organic cotton using Eco-friendly water based inks, T-Shirt impresarios make a statement while raising some loot for Global Green USA.

The shirts will be available online this week and in finer retail stores early March. The Respect Your Mother shirts are printed on 100% certified organic cotton, which costs significantly more to manufacture, but the guys at Local Celebrity do not want their customers to pay more for these shirts so they are going to absorb the extra production cost. Depending on the retailer, these shirts will be available between $20 - $30. Proceeds from the RYM shirts will be donated to Global Green USA in an effort to help fight global warming.

Available in only the finest stores as Urban Outfitters (awww yeah), Sak’s Fifth Avenue (posh!), Kitson (yes…that Kitson), and online at localcelebrity.com (word!), these products are the perfect addition to anybody’s everyday wardrobe. No crowd too proud.
