As we at indiDenim look back on 2009, we find ourselves getting a bit nostalgic just thinking about all the denim styles we saw this year: boyfriend jeans, skinny jeans, jeggings, distressed denim and oh my, the list goes on.

To show off these styles, we gave snaps to some of our favorite celebrities. Kim and JLO showed us big booty ladies how to look great in the right pair of jeans, Penelope reminded us how to rock a classic bootcut and even Brad let us know that yes, denim on denim can work.

With the help of our style experts, we learned how to dress jeans up for the evening, how to wear sweaters and blazers with the right pair of jeans, how to properly tuck our jeans into our beloved boots, and even went back to school to learn about the history of low rise jeans and ask the timeless question, “How low can you really go?”

We caught up with some of favorite fashion bloggers to get their rave reviews on their indiDenim jeans, we talked about the best way to hide that tummy during the holiday season and even took a trip down memory lane to see how U.S. presidents have showed off the classic denim look.

Ah, what precious memories…

Now that it’s 2010 and time to make your new year’s resolution, why not include a denim resolution in the line up? We at indiDenim can offer a commitment that shouldn’t be too difficult to follow through with—wearing jeans that fit and flatter your body and curves. You’ll look and feel great. We promise!

Well, regardless of what resolutions you decide on, we at indiDenim would like to wish you a Happy New Year from our jeans to yours!

Last month, we held the indiDenim October Jean Giveaway, where we asked all of you to design your perfect jeans and add them to our Design Vault. As promised, we’ve randomly selected one winner as well as a winner for the “judges’ choice award.”

But before we reveal the results, we must say that we were very much impressed by all the creativity. And although we had a lot of fun looking at all of your “perfect jeans,” there was one candidate, in particular, that showed us a memorable creation, along with a playful title and description to match.

So props to Snow Doubt and your design of pure pear-fection. We really loved how you tied both style and fit into your creative title and description of your jeans!

For most pretty pear body types, finding flattering jeans is no easy task. You need jeans that sit just so on your curvy waist, yet also leave you with just enough room through the hip and thigh area.

Our indiDenim October Jean Giveaway judges’ choice winner designed the perfect pear jeans that celebrate the needs of pear-shaped ladies all-around. With jeans that are tailored straight from the thigh to the hem, this instantly provides a slimming effect, making your legs look, just like our winner says, “LUSTFUL.” The clean finish gives no distractions, only focusing on what obviously matters most—showing off that pretty pear shape figure of yours.

So congratulations to both our winners: Snow Doubt, and our randomly selected winner, Kel, designer of “New Favorite Jeans.”

And now you can check out (and buy!) the the judges’ choice winner and our randomly selected winner in our Design Vault!

Cotton jeans are about as necessary as, well, air.

And while we like air and all, here at indiDenim we’re pretty obsessed with denim. Stretch, 100 percent cotton, American, European, Japanese, distressed or clean—You name it, we got it.

This week, in addition to our brand-spanking new jean builder, we’ve launched a new denim in four washes: Chalan, Buttero, Vaquero, Gaucho.

If you sensed a theme, add a tally to your scorecard! Alternatively, if you’re sitting there, eyes glossed over and about to x out of the window, hold on there cowboy!

That’s right, we’re paying homage to our favorite international cowboys because where would cotton jeans be without our cowboy brethren? Rugged cotton denim fabric is so deeply intertwined with cowboy mythology that the two are often difficult to separate. Cowboy movies from the 1950s are even credited with popularizing jeans. Children who watched cowboys on TV during the 1950s were inspired to adopt jeans as their uniform during the 1960s.

Like the cotton jeans of our cowboy forefathers, our new 100 percent cotton denim is a heavier weight, sturdy fabric—one that we think would be suitable for guys and gals, alike.

So mosey on over to our jean builder, and start designing your custom made jeans. But before you go, check out the sneak peak of our cotton denim below!

Today Marybeth (our CEO) and I took a little outing to the mannequin store. Although mid-week trips to Mannequin Madness have long been a favorite past time of mine, today was different. Today we were on a mission. And that mission was to find our lonely lady mannequin a Mr. Right.

The thing is, our mannequin had been doing the stag thing for a while now, and we could tell she was becoming a bit depressed. All her other mannequin friends were starting to get married, settling down with their mannequin families, and the whole deal. By the look on her face recently, it was obvious that all the outfit changes and photoshoots were wearing on her, and she really just needed a special someone to share her life with. You know—someone who loved her and understood the daily struggles of the fast-paced mannequin lifestyle.

So not taking the matchmaking task lightly, I did what any self respecting matchmaker would do: Wikipedia Fiddler on the Roof. And after reminding myself of the important details, I channeled my inner Yenta and set off to the mannequin store with Marybeth.

Once there, it didn’t take long for us to make our decision (these things come naturally to a Yenta, you know). We passed on the super-ripped mannequins with the alarming bulges, and went with the more respectable, athletic mannequin with the strong, confident stance.

And what happened when we arrived back at the office with our stud of a mannequin in toe? Well, let’s just say sparks flew and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

It even appears that our lady mannequin is sporting a ring. Boy those youngins sure work fast!

Now that the match has been made, the only issue that remains pending is…

Names!

Can you believe we forgot to name our little love birds? HELP US! Send us your ideas and we might just pick your suggestion!

Just remember, make Yenta proud.
