today, april 29 2010 is the 20th anniversary of the bc children's hospital foundation's jeans day! at the end of every april over the past 20 years bc offices and schools have accepted donations in exchange for pins or buttons showing your support of the bc children's hospital foundation's annual event.

we're thrilled to participate this year, on the foundation's 20th anniversary, by offering a women's premium denim event to coincide with the event. from today, april 29th, on through to mother's day, may 9th, we will be offering 25% off any women's premium from joe's, acne, genetic and wesc with a minimum $5 donation to the bc children's hospital! in addition to your donations, still life has set a $1000 donation goal that we will match and donate to the bc children's hospital in may!

we've got heaps of amazing premium denim in on the women's side of the store right now, so come down and help us reach our goal and get yourself a great new pair of jeans for jeans day 2010!

we get through a lot of premium denim at still life. in a city like victoria a great pair of jeans will last you all day every day for years and years. our women's denim display is currently overflowing with denim styles for all our girls ready to get into a new pair of jeans for spring 2010.

for us, spending a little more on jeans works when you realize the fit and longevity a pair of premium denim is offering you. thousands of hours go in to designing the fits offered by denim companies like joe's, acne or nudie, and the quality of construction will have you returning for another pair once you realize you've worn a new jean for 2 weeks straight. getting into premium denim on the women's side we're seeing about 2-3% stretch material woven in with all denim to ensure a nice, snug fit on the thights & bum and allowing for give in the jeans without bagging out and looking frumpy after only a couple of wears.

this spring we're seeing the takeover of the denim legging! joe's jeans and genetic denim are both offering denim legging options at still life, with even more stretch fabric woven through to allow for an ultra snug fit to be styled with an oversized boyshirt or cropped up with a pair of flats or gladiators come summer.
