Hey lovers, what do you do in NYC when all your friends are out of town and you have nothing to do? Answer: Shop!

It’s that time of year when you can find all sorts of deals on chic summer clothing.

Check out these 100 % cotton Indigo shorts from J Brand that I picked up. They typically retail for about $140. I got them on sale today for $40.

They have two front-pockets on the diagonal with zippers and leather trim, two buttoned pockets on the back and a button-up fly. The fabric is nice and sturdy and it breathes. You can throw them right in the washing machine. I love the way they fit. Their sizes seem to run a little large. I got a pair with a 32-inch waist though in most comparable brands and cuts I would wear a 30 or 31. 

If you’ve never heard of the brand. It’s California-based and they make loads of stuff in the United States. They launched back in 2004 – and specialize in fashionable ready-to-wear men’s and women’s clothing.

If you like my new shorts, J Brand clothing can be found in Nordstrom, Saks or other luxury retailers and specialty stores in 25 countries worldwide.

That’s the Lowdown.
