With Earth Day and sustainability on our minds, Citizens of Humanity is the perfect brand to highlight for this month's brand spotlight. COH has gone to great lengths to use the most ecologically sustainable technology and practices. It is one of the few denim companies that owns all of their production vertically. This helps not only control the quality of denim but also their sustainability. While it's almost un-American to not to own a pair of denim, most denim is not made in America because it can be produced at a lower cost outside the United States. While many other lower-priced denim companies are moving their production overseas, COH has always remained dedicated to full production in Los Angeles. Citizens produces their sustainable denim by hand which contributes to their loyal following.13 Apr 3 Ways to Dress for a Spring Wedding

The average American owns seven pairs of denim. And if you are a fashion lover you’re bound to be above that average! Question: is the denim that you own right for you and your body shape? Due to denim dominating much of the retail industry and the plethora of choices it can be overwhelming to select just the right style and fit for your body.

To simplify your life we're offering fresh suggestions for figure-flattering denim in this spring's trends. Five body shapes below are illustrated by five celebrities: the ruler (Gwyneth Paltrow), the pear (Beyoncé), the apple (Drew Barrymore), the hourglass (Blake Lively), and the inverted triangle (Charlize Theron).

With the New Year finally settling in, work routines are back in full swing. It's easy to stick with the familiar when it comes to work attire, but our Front Door Fashion stylists are all about taking you to the next level.

We can all relate to the frustration of the phrase "work appropriate." The key is finding clothes that feel good, flatter, and fit into your office culture. Master your go-to look for the office, and step it up when asking for a promotion. Jennifer Baumgartner, PsyD, author of You Are What You Wear says, "If you want a promotion, dress as if you already have it. What would a person with one wear?" Dress for success with a selection of outfits handpicked by your stylist, and you'll be sitting pretty in the corner office in no time!17 Jan New Year New You: Elevate Your Everyday
