Here’s a fun post for today that might start with the quote from Body Heat, “I’ll talk to you if you don’t talk about the heat.” (Hopefully that’s close.)

While that’s a favorite saying around our house here in Las Vegas, it still doesn’t prevent me from wearing my most favorite of all things… demin.

I live and breathe demin jeans. So this morning when I can across the Armani Exchange website, I had the opportunity to play around and create my own style (my other passions are tee shirts and handbags) which I’ll show you below. Keep in mind we’re not talking off the rack. Armani Exchange has “New Premium Denim starting at $98″ – yes Armani

I had to start, of course, with their J57 grey straight leg jeans. I choose grey, but they also have J57 in potassium straight leg. I considered the J11 Indigo Destruction Skinny Leg as a third potential, but I really prefer low rise jeans. They just fit better and look better on me.

I then was able to move into the “dressing room” and start putting shirts with jeans (or you can pick shorts, skirts, whatever), and adding accessories. I finally settled for a cool handbag (reference my passion above lol!).

Here’s the final result which should give you a fairly good idea about what I truly enjoy wearing. Give me a great pair of jeans that look cool, throw in an amazing top, and round it off with a stunning – very summer-like – handbag and voila!

Then I did some more digging around on their web site and discovered Armani is giving away a pair of demin every day throughout July. All you need to do is text A|X. Enter the keyword “DENIM2″ to ARMANI (276264). It’s that easy.

In fact, after visiting and putting together your ideal outfit or just purchasing a full price pair of denim from Armani Exchange, in store or online, between 7/7/09 – 7/19/09, and you will receive a gift card for $20 off your next purchase of $100 or more. And that gift card is valid from 7/30/09 through 8/15/09. Nice!

Let’s face it who wouldn’t want to wear Armani if the price is right. Street-chic, casual, sophisticated and affordable.
