Tightly Wound

Bailey 44 "Pewter Carre Dress" - Buy it HERE

Whatever fashion "trends" come and go, for women one general idea always remains the same - having a great dress that rocks out at night.  Currently we are still loving body-con looks as one variation on this idea.  Herve Lerger has and will always be the iconic master of the tightly wound bandage dress.  But walking in the shoes of a legend involves four-digit prices, of which we are not all ready to dish out. 
Enter the Bailey 44 "Carrey" dress.  Here is your ticket to stealing the show whilst never sweating the price.  Thank goodness miracles in fashion are possible!!

Shorter Nights

J Brand "Black Matte Boa Super Skinny Snakeskin Jean" - Buy Them HERE

William Rast "Beijing Dylan Skinny Jean" - Buy Them HERE

Spring is officially here!  Whether or not it really feels like that every day is another matter.  But one thing that does come with the blooming buds and eventual warmer weather is: longer days and shorter nights.  This means you have to make the most of those late nights, when darkness seems to go hand in hand with a crazy good night. 

One way to still keep warm and yet have fun in the pitch black hours is to dress as dark as the sky.  For men there is the ultimate in black denim - William Rast has really nailed it with a pair of jeans that look legit and not like some other colored pair of denim; for women - not only are these jeans black as night, they are snakeskin imprinted, for a look that will go far beyond your average Friday night uniform.

Get ready to stay up late. 

Lucky Day

It is your lucky day.  What's this Saturday?  St. Patrick's Day!  What's sports right now (besides Spring Training)? Hockey!  Merge the two and how can you go wrong?  Sport green this weekend and the rest of every other hockey season with a Blackhawks Tee that truly might have some kind of luck to it.

Get lucky HERE.

All Buttered Up

Soft and smooth as butter, this IMPROVD leather jacket is the answer to all of your Spring wardrobe questions.  It is the weight you want in a transitional part of the year that switches at a moments notice from warm to cool.  And grey, along with other moderately toned shades, is the most current of fashion obsessions.  Though with the contoured fit and detailed styling elements, going out of style is not something you will ever have to worry about with this jacket.

A safe bet for the weather and a safe bet for fashion?  Isn't that what we always dream of?

The sun is staying out longer and it is getting warmer.  We know Spring is on it's way, and not just because the calender says so. 
Beyond the relief of no longer being nearly housebound for weeks on end from the cold, we also love Spring for all of the colors.  Grass grows green, trees get their leaves back, and flowers begin to bloom in all sorts of heavenly shades. 

Flowers, however, are not the only ones to show their resplendent colors.  Denim, too, dazzles us this Spring with all of the colors under the rainbow.  J Brand, Hudson, Joe's, and more all celebrate the season of life with us.  Join them in the fun!  Shop HERE or visit any of the Madison & Friends and The Denim Lounge locations around Chicago. 

Two Of A Kind

AG Women's "Delight - The Bell" - Buy it Here

AG  Men's "8Y - Lou - The Dean" - Buy it Here

Pairs always seem to be desirable.  We like pairs in more than one different kind of card game; we like pairs of shoes and pairs of socks; we like to be in pairs.  And so speaking of that, it isn't so weird to be a couple and to kind of like things in pairs. For instance, both wearing the same brand of jean is kind of cute.  Though stop it there, for wearing the exact same style of jean is not cute.

Look into AG, for example, to find cool jeans that you both will fall in love with, while remaining distinctly different.  Shop AG Men's HERE and AG Women's HERE.

Say It With Denim

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day!  And if you haven't quite made up your mind on just what to get your sweetie, or if you have and it is the same old box of chocolates + roses, then think on this:

Denim = Love

Yes, that is right.  He or she will love you and thank you for loving them with denim.  Wouldn't you rather look at a flattering pair of jeans than a vase of flowers that will be dried up by the end of the week anyways?  This is a gift you will both enjoy looking at, putting on, and possibly taking off.
