About Gretchen Schneider
I live in - and for - LA. Obsessed with my dog, social media and denim. I kick it with Hollywood Jesus, and eat like a king ... with princess portions.
Kind of (completely) obsessed with Denim Refinery, an online service that allows you to transform your old, unwanted denim into new, fresh looks. You can visit their site, upload an image of that pair of jeans you’ve had for years, but refuse to throw away and let them know how you want them to customize the denim. Denim Refinery reviews your inquiry, then gets back to you with a quote.

And if you can’t let go of your existing denim, Denim Refinery has an online store. I’m eyeing this Bill Blass boyfriend shirt with an Ombre refinement.

I met Joy (in a DSQUARED2 denim jumper) last night outside of Room 5 after seeing my girl Sunah Bilsted do her thing on stage.

Add to the wishlist (ahem, Mom … hi). YSL has added a new fabric to their very hot Tribute sandal collection: denim! I usually round out my Canadian Tuxedos with my brown leather YSL platform Tribute sandals, and now I can take it to the next level. My friend Katie posted these on my Facebook wall. We could only find this knock-off pair online, which don’t look too bad and at $195 (compared to $795), makes it a much more manageable purchase. Hmm …

Here she goes again! The newlywed Reese cannot get enough of the denim-on-denim look that seems to be rocking the world. Last month we caught her in Paris donning a Canadian Tux, now she’s been seen in a summery chambray dress. The Stir, a trend blog on CafeMom, posted several denim-on-denim looks, bringing new meaning to the term “mom jeans.”

Leave it to a Canadian retailer to whip up some dope denim on denim. I was awakened to this Canadian Tuxedo in an email from members only Privé.

Dear Kelly Ryan O’Brien,
Since you moved back to Chicago … and since I never see you anymore, I have one question. Will you do me the honor of becoming my blood iPhone 4 brother sister? I found these dope ass denim covers and all.

Think about it.
Yours truly,
Greta Wells

We’ve seen denim couches, chairs, wall hangings … even denim insulation, and now my friends, we bring you the denim rug. We found this Benjamin Rollins Caldwell rug on core77 from NT Design Week.
