Give your old jeans a new life with Denim Therapy!
Jeans can be an investment. Once you find that perfect pair and shell out the big bucks for them, you want them to last as long as possible. Sometimes wear and holes are inevitable and rather than shell out more money for an otherwise wearable pair of jeans, you might just want to repair them. Now Denim Therapy can help your jeans look good as new.
They use unique threads, called Perfect Match, which feature many different colors and washes, that might not be available at your local seamstress. This way, a perfect match for your jeans is ensured. In addition, they work on each pair one at a time, no mass repairs or patches. They actually resew and repair your jeans.
While the cost, at aprox $7 per inch, can add up (plus $12 for shipping, per pair) it certainly beats paying over $200 for a pair that might not be replaceable. They also do seaming, hems, pockets and other repairs.
You can learn more at DenimTherapy.com

Nicole Richie’s Maternity Line for A Pea in the Pod!
Pregnant with her second child (daughter Harlow Winter Kate is 18 months old), the star has signed on to create (and model) a line of maternity clothes with her signature flair for A Pea in the Pod. She explained that the collaboration works because “Pea in the Pod is such a known company for pregnant women. They carry great lines, and so when they asked me to create a line for them, I was really excited and eager to do it.”And being pregnant herself means that Nicole is especially considerate of her customers. “You really feel like you have to change your whole wardrobe. And that’s the last thing a woman wants to go through. So I really tried to make this line to get women excited about wearing clothes.”While Nicole admits she doesn’t always wear maternity clothes, she definitely thinks the pregnant form should be flaunted! “I think the pregnant body is beautiful, and I think you should show it off,” citing her jean cutoffs as a go-to this pregnancy. As for what to expect in the line, think peasant tops, layering tees, flowing maxi dress and braided details. Nicole may have some time left until she has her second child, but says of her newest design collection making its debut, “It feels great to see everything come to life.
It’s the best feeling in the world to have your visions and dreams coming together. I’m so excited for people to see them. I just hope that people like it.”“Nicole,” an exclusive collection for A Pea in the Pod stores on Friday, with prices ranging from $48 for tank tops to $148 to maxi dresses.
