I received my copy of Bazaar this afternoon, and as I was browsing through, I ran across this pair of Tory Burch jeans. I had to look at them for a bit to "grasp the concept," but decided that I really like them. I'm embracing the whole "paint spattered" thing, as some items lend themselves to a variety of styling options. While they look good with the boots and top worn here, I think that I would venture in a different direction and add something similiar to the clog bootie featured below, for day and the lugged sole bootie for a fun night out.....a frilly top would also be a nice touch. I also think that they would work well with a great pair of flats and a fierce leather jacket. $225 is a small price to pay for something that lends itself to so many possibilities!
Both are Tory Burch

In just a handful of years, Tory Burch has gone from a a single store in Manhattan to a global empire. Businessweek has a profile of Burch that says that the designer, who now has 25 locations, is planning another additional 100 namesake stores worldwide in the next three to five years. She is also working on creating a cosmetic and fragrance line.
What makes Burch's line so popular especially at a time in which the mid-range luxury market to which Burch's line is targeted has seen consumpion plummet? Part of it is that Burch's line is highly versatile and wearable, including pieces that are comfort-friendly and yet fashionable like her Reva ballet flats and her embellished tunic tops which hit a chord with Oprah. Part of it is Burch herself who at 43 represents the type of woman that her customers identify with, it doesn't hurt that she is a beautiful working single mom. She spent years working in marketing and public relations with Ralph Lauren and Vera Wang which also helped her learn what this type of customer desires.
As the economy lumbers back to life and shoppers began to return to the stores, Burch is primed for big success. There are some concerns that the Tory Burch line is expanding too rapidly but Burch happens to have a sound business partner in her ex-husband Chris Burch who is quoted as saying that they are conscious of not getting ahead of themselves.
