Color Pop

How can one not feel brighter, better, happier when looking at this Joe's top?  The color comes in strong but does not overwhelm and just feels like the splash of pink that we all need right now.  Not pastel pink, but reddish-pink.  Not sickly pink, but perfect pink.  It will be so great with a pair of white cutoff denim shorts and a little bit of tan on the skin.  Excellent with dark jeans and heels as well.  Take your pick - you will always come out winning with this one.

Again With The White

White is not going away.  In fact, the warmer it gets, the more we are going to see it: white denim, white short, white shoes, white breezy dresses, white sunglasses...you get the picture.  Might as well sit back now and begin to enjoy the pleasure of its purity! 
This Susana Monaco top is great way to introduce a little bit into your current mix.  It pairs well with jeans and you can even add your own pop of color beneath that will show up under the loose knit.  So enjoy the white.  It is coming soon to a town near you.

Surf's Up

We are past winter now.  Forget the chill.  Warm up with Splendid's Surf Shirt for men.  Slip into and forget that you are walking on city streets. Image instead the sun on your skin, the feel of sand between your toes, and nothing but waves of blue from here to eternity.

Print It Up

It is so easy in the long dark winter months to forget about prints.  We usually tend towards neutrals like blacks and whatnot when the weather chills and knits are prevalent.  But, with Spring just on the horizon, it might be time to shed that mentality and look forward to not-so-blah days!  Welcome the printed shirt.  Fifteen Twenty has the perfect version for right now - it is fresh and pleasant without being overly cheery and in your face.  We aren't quite ready for anything that bright yet!

A Big Day

It is easy to fall into the same old routine time and time again: chocolates, flowers, blah, blah.
While all of those might be appreciated, they are also incredibly predictable.  Why not tell your honey you love them by getting him or her a new pair of jeans?  Is there a better way to say "I think you look amazing" than with great looking denim? Probably not. 
So hurry up! You only have one day left!!!

Gearing Up

Today is the big day.  At least, it is a big day for sports, beer, and food.  And there is still plenty of time to make sure that you are dressed well.  Hit up The Denim Lounge before you make your way out to watch the game.  Even sport something from the team you love, even if they didn't make it to the game.  No matter what, look your best. 

Get ready HERE

Winter Pop

During the cold winter months, we see white, we see grey, and we see various other dark colors in the sky, on the ground, in the clothes we wear.  What a sure fire way to keep spirits low during the coldest time of year!  Why not brighten things up just a bit?  Possibly lighten your mood and maybe even the mood of others around you.  Paige has a pair of skinny jeans that might just do that!  A great shade of plum, they are not too loud but not quite subtle.

Go ahead - brighten your day!  HERE

Get Ready

New Year, better you.  Isn't that always the plan?
Well, even if you aren't one to make resolutions, it is still a no brainer to resolve to dress chicer while dressing warming for these cold January and February days.  It is going to be brutal out and it is always frustrating to have to pair a great outfit with a heavy ski jacket or other bulky coat for warmth.  Some nights it just cannot be avoided.  And others, there is one answer to the problem that might make you smile.  The G.E.T. White Shag coat offers up at least some warmth and looks incredibly good with a great dress and tights or even jeans and a sweater.  There will be days when this is just the thing you are looking for.  Be prepared.

Plenty of Time

Well, the apocalypse didn't happen.  Whether or not that came as a surprise to you, it now means that at least one thing is true - Christmas is still on!  Yes, that's right.  If you held out, wondering if shopping for gifts you might never get a chance to give was worth it, then you have exactly forty-eight hours to get your rear in gear and shop!  Get to it!

Start with Madison and Friends and The Denim Lounge, with gifts for every one of all ages.  Even if you have no clue, you can still get a gift card and let them do the picking.
Get a move on HERE.

Dress A-Cord-ingly

Corduroy has already got its game going on in the pants department.  There are few if any of us who do not have at least one pair of them that we break out each year when the thermometer outside begins to drop.  But where cords have not seized the market is in shirts.  There was was a time about 15 years ago when this might not have been the case.  In the 90's, a boxy button down was the standard uniform, especially when it came to various alternate cotton fabrics, such as denim and cord.  Fast forward to now and perhaps we should have anticipated it - denim shirts have already come back and are going strong.  It is only natural that corduroy wales should follow in their wake. Thick, warm, looking a little like a stylish lumberjack (isn't that how everyone essentially dresses now anyways?) - what's not to love?

Make sure you aren't out of the grooves.  Shop HERE now.

Holiday Feasting

 

Paige Colored Skinny Jeans

During these months we are eating, we are shopping, we are spending time with family and friends.  In all, we are generally reveling (unless we hit mad crowds or horrid traffic). 
In the spirit of feasting, why not feast your eyes on the array of denim and cords at The Denim Lounge?  A full spectrum is available to captivate you.  Stop by today and take another moment for yourself amidst all of the hubbub.  And, if you still don't have everyone checked off of your gift list, pick up a gift card or three to make their season brighter as well.

Happy Holidays!  Begin HERE.

Cyber Monday

Tis the time of year for sales!

Plenty of you have probably been shopping since the late hours of yesterday, halfway into a turkey-induced coma and yet still able to manage the thronging crowds. And then there will be those who waited, possibly missing the crazy deals but also most definitely missing the crazy hysteria.

So, for those of you who waited and for those of you who didn't but still aren't ready to slow down, Madison and Friends and The Denim Lounge present Cyber Monday.  Everything on the site is on sale all day long Monday with free shipping to boot.

Log on now and get ready for Monday's madness.  Happy E-Shopping!!

 

Holiday Party Time

 

 

Whether it is for work or for fun, this is the time of year for parties.  Starting now and going through New Year's, your social calender is probably looking pretty full.  And, while it is of course so easy to just pull out all of those old dresses you wore to these things last year, why not add something new into the mix? 

Addison Story make a great LBD that will be a perfect staple not only for the holiday party season but for the rest of the year as well.  Black, dressy, chic - you'll be sorry if you let this one slip by you.

Dress up and pass the eggnog.

That's A Cut

One of the more recent cuts that has become popular in denim is the non-capri shortened jean, in which the bottom comes up to just a little above the ankle.  Little of the calf is exposed in this cut, with the fit being snug like a skinny.  Though, baggier boyfriend looks with the same bottom hemline are starting to pop-up as well.  But the great thing about these is the way the work with a pair of boots or hightop sneaker.  Depending on how far the shoe comes over the ankle, the jean will hit right at the top of it, making a seamless, clean-looking transition rather than rolling or bulky scrunching.  There are also going to be a lot of tall socks showing out over the tops of boots and shoes this fall and winter, and these jeans are also going to be perfect for that.
So, what are you waiting for?  Are you in or are you out?  In? Shop HERE then.

Bloody Sundays

Sunday's Bloody Mary via Google

A reason might not even be necessary for having a Bloody Mary on Sunday.  It might just be what you do, what you need every Sunday anyways.  But, if you don't really want to do it alone or if you do need a reason, then here it is: every Sunday in October, the Roscoe Village Denim Lounge will be serving up the cool drinks at it's Bloody Mary Bar.  So now you can drink them, socialize, shop, and justify all of it just a little bit more. 

Cheers!

Cooling Off

The cool weather is only going to keep pushing in as Winter creeps closer. 
But for now, on those days where you are just not ready for a jacket but need some warmth, set your eyes on the cardigan.  It is versatile - going on easily over any sleeveless, short-sleeve, or long-sleeve top for added warmth - and it looks great without the added bulky effect many other heavy sweaters create.  Shae has a really pretty version that mixes in some of the dark colors of fall with still light shades of summer.  It will be a great year-round piece to add to your closet!

Just In Time

Just one day till the first Bears game of the season.  Are you ready?  Are you geared up?
There is still plenty of time to stop by The Denim Lounge, just in case.  There is something for everyone.  In particular, this worn out Junkfood version is soft, looks vintage, and shows your team love.

Stop by or shop online before the game HERE!

Seeing Stripes

They dazzle the eye and delight the mind.  Stripes.  Many fear them in clothes, as things can go horribly awry if not done properly.  The wrong direction, the wrong fit, too much of them, and a million other things can happen to make stripes your enemy.  But this top by Bailey44 makes sure not to do any of those things.  The neckline of it twists in a unique way that pulls the pattern with it, transforming stale stripes to lines with purpose and intrigue.  Being on a diagonal allows for the stripes to slim and enhance the shape of your body.  And thin strips of white on black background create a combination that everyone can work with.  So what are you waiting for?

Going Back

 

 

It's that time of year again...Back To School Shopping Time!

Is there really a better way, a better place than The Denim Lounge to satisfy all of your school clothes needs?  Most likely not.  All ages alike are covered, with denim, tops, and accessories galore.  So let the games begin!  Even if you are not going back to school and don't have a little one who is either, it's still the perfect time to make an excuse to treat yourself anyways.  Plenty of things are on sale, as well, adding extra incentive into the mix.

Stop by and stock up.  Shop HERE too.

Keep It Simple Silly

It's easy to be glamorized by ornate designs and in your face styles.  Sometimes those things scream too loud, though, and we want a little bit less flash from our pants and a little more substance beneath the style.  Harder to perfect than the boldly beautiful is the very simple.  Simple is the thing that looks the easiest but is, in fact, the hardest to accomplish.  J Brand has worked hard to create a pair of jeans that look like anything but trying hard.  Perfect fit, just the right wash, these jeans were made to be loved.
