Truly Made In Heaven

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!  I was going to talk about one of my very favorite trends for Spring today but had to set that aside for another day to share my love for MiH Jeans.  I fall harder every time I get another pair!!  And on top of that the brand has such a fun back story...

MiH is the reincarnation of Made in Heaven jeans originally founded in 1969.  At that time, the brand was just as much a celebrity favorite as it is today, with the likes of everyone from Jane Birkin to Farrah Fawcett sporting the fabulous styles.  Chloe Lonsdale is the new head of the brand and she is the cutest thing (I met her at a market appointment not too long ago)!  Chloe is actually the Goddaughter of the original founder and the daughter of the original fit model so it’s in her blood.  You can read a more detailed history of the brand on their website, www.mih-jeans.com. 

The latest addition to my personal collection is the Marrakesh.  The Marrakesh is a kick flare with jet front pockets and is so great for date night!  …Plus it totally covers the super flare trend that is back for Spring and Summer.  This style is actually one of the best sellers in the line and has taken so long to enter my wardrobe because our fabulous customers keep snatching them up before I can get my hands on a pair.  The Marrakesh is actually a jean that was available in the original collection.  Check out this picture of Chloe’s mom sporting the style back in the day. 



Here is the current day version of the Marrakesh...celebrities love it as much as I do!!





I love that the rise is a little higher (at 9.5") and the pocket shape is refreshing and ever so flattering.  The Marrakesh gives the illusion of legs that go on forever and flatters all body shapes by skimming the hips.  It is the original "legs-eleven" jean!  You can be sure that I won't be able to live with just one wash in this style. 

There are so many other styles in the brand that have great fits too....from skinnies to capris to tops and beyond...but I will save telling you about them until another day.  If you haven't given MiH Jeans a try, put them on your list the next time you are in need.  You will not be disappointed!

Until next time...
