STS Blue Denim Jackets

Give the Gift of Personalized Fashion With sts blue Denim Jackets

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In an age where expressing your individuality is very important, many people are stepping away from fast fashion. But how do you make a classic fashion item your own? Take, for instance, the classic denim or “jean jacket”; this iconic outerwear is simply a basic jacket with an all-denim construction. Although design details such as fringe, patches, and paint can be used to customize denim jackets, personalization is different. That’s why we were so excited to try the free personalization that is offered with sts blue Denim Jackets.

STS Blue Denim Jackets

That’s right, when you order one of the sts blue Denim Jackets, you can have it personalized for free. Make your own or giftable sts blue denim jacket unique with custom embroidery. What better gift to give a loved one than their name, favorite phrase, hashtag, etc on their own jean jacket this holiday season. We’re a very proud owner of a personalized sts blue Oversize Boyfriend Denim Jacket which we highlighted in our sts blue Fall 2018 Collection highlight (see it below again).

All sts blue denim jackets are made with 100% cotton, boasts copper hardware, and are available in a variety of washes. The sts blue personalization is done with embroidery. You choose from 2 different fonts and a choice of 5 colors that are perfect to make your personalized monogram stand out. Each embroidery is placed on the back of the sts blue denim jackets and can fit up to 10 characters. You can choose something cute, funny, or outrageous. It’s your chance to make the statement you want to. Just make sure your jacket style, size and personalized design are correct at the time of ordering as custom, personalized items are final sale items.

sts blue has some terrific denim jackets available now. Along with the Oversize Boyfriend Denim Jacket we got, we’re loving their new Oversize Long Boyfriend Denim Jacket in Sand Canyon wash. This dark grey vintage wash jean jacket features a longer than usual body length, a shadow hemline, antique copper hardware, and deconstructive details.

STS Blue Denim Jackets

No matter the jacket you get or gift, adding personalization adds a very special touch to it. You will love it and most importantly, they will love it. Do you know someone who would love to be gifted a personalized sts blue denim jacket this holiday season?

Ana Luisa Jewelry: Everyday Luxury Without the High-End Markup

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Is there anything better than getting the best for less? We love saving money but we know it’s only really worth it when what you’re saving on are exceptional pieces. This is the idea behind the Ana Luisa jewelry brand, who offers everyday luxury jewelry for women. Unlike most luxury jewelry brands, whose prices reflect costs to the wholesale distributor, sales agent, marketing and retail markup, Ana Luisa offers a direct-to-consumer approach. Their approach of in-house designers, responsible production practices, and an online selling method allows the luxury-loving woman to afford gorgeous, high-end jewelry without the high-end markup.

Ana Luisa Everyday Luxury Jewelry

We couldn’t resist getting to know the Ana Luisa Jewelry and its beautiful jewelry options. Whether you’re looking for everyday essentials or statement pieces, this affordable luxury brand is what you’re looking for. Our introduction to Ana Luisa Jewelry began with three pieces: the Flower Stud Earrings in Iris Pink, the Tessa Friendship Bracelet in Pink, and the Mona Hoop Earrings.

Ana Luisa Everyday Luxury Jewelry

We were incredibly excited to receive our pieces and although we expected each item to be individually wrapped and placed in separate bags, we realize that it’s not a necessary need. The important thing is “how is the jewelry?” We will say Ana Luisa did not disappoint; let us tell you a bit about each piece first:

Flower Stud Earrings, $75.00 – a 14K Gold plated, delicate flower stud earrings with a natural pearl and an artistic enamel layer that is individually hand painted.

Tessa Friendship Bracelet, $59.00 – a 14k gold dipped friendship bracelet with a soft cotton ribbon braided with a delicate gold plated chain.

Mona Hoop Earrings, $69.00 – elegant, 14K gold-dipped studded hoop earrings with a textured ripple design.

Ana Luisa Everyday Luxury Jewelry

Out of the three pieces, the Flower Stud Earrings were our favorite (it was love at first sight). We generally go for more statement earrings but there’s something about these graceful beauties that just stands out to us. They have a nice weight to them, they don’t pinch or weigh your lobs down, and they’re wonderfully chic. The first item we actually wore was the Mona Hoop Earrings; we love the idea of studded hoop earrings, it’s a great fusion of the two design details and we think a stylish addition to the earring category. Lastly, the Tessa Friendship Bracelet is a lovely and sophisticated version of the iconic childhood bracelet. Unfortunately, we need to get an extender because chubby wrists are a thing but once we get it, we’ll be gleefully wearing the Tessa.

This was our intro to Ana Luisa Jewelry and we can’t wait to share other favorite pieces with you. Learn more about Ana Luisa on their blog.

sts blue Fall 2018 Collection: Cure Your Closet Woes w/ Jean Therapy

/1 Comment/in , , , /by

One of our favorite things about the cooler seasons is it’s the perfect time to wear denim jackets. And what’s better than a great denim jacket paired with some must-have jeans. For the fall season, it’s all about adding great denim pieces to your wardrobe and this fall’s denim trends are easy to pull off with the pieces from the sts blue Fall 2018 Collection. This season, it pays to be a little denim obsessed.

From straight ankle-length jeans to high-rise jeans, a return of button fly jeans, and frayed hem skinny jeans are just a few of the hot denim styles seen in the sts blue Fall 2018 Collection. sts blue offers a variety of jeans and jean jackets in several washes. From the lightest Jenson (blue) and Lamont (black) washes to the darkest Ranlett (blue) and Black washes, and so much in between.

New standouts from the sts blue Fall 2018 collection we’re obsessed with include the Cara Vintage-inspired Slim Straight Ankle Jeans; the Emma Ankle Skinny with Cut Off Stepped Hem and a “give me what I want” side stripe (or go bright with a neon stripe); and the Ashley High Rise Slim Fit Skinny with Exposed Button fly.

When it comes to their denim jackets, we’re very much obsessed with the Oversize Denim Boyfriend Jackets. With very cool details such as color blocking, ruffles, and fraying, this iconic item is instantly modernized. Our favorite thing about sts blue’s denim jackets is the option for free custom embroidery to make it your own. We tried sts blue’s free custom embroidery on our Oversize Boyfriend Denim Jacket, which we got in Mandarin Wash. We are so in love with the result of our customization (we even decorated it with some pins we got at the Denim Days festival). Yes, you read that correctly, sts blue offers free custom embroidery on their denim jackets. That is an amazing gift idea, because who wouldn’t want something special and customized to their style! Check out our custom jacket below:

Every pair of jeans tells a story; what will your story be in these denim pieces from the sts blue Fall 2018 collection?
