Everything She Wants

Finding the right pair of jeans is one of the hardest shopping endeavors ever.  For me, flared styles tend to work best since I'm smaller in the waist and fuller in the hips.  But thanks to Eddie Bauer's new denim line -- which launches online and at Eddie Bauer stores everywhere Aug. 6 -- I've found a petite pair of straight jeans that fit my curves perfectly.   Eddie Bauer denim./Photo by Tracy E.

Everything She Wants is a fan of   Beija-Flor 's ( pronounced beige-a-floor ) figure-flattering jeans made with premium Brazilian denim. They're slimming through the hips and contoured in the back for full coverage.  Founded by the mother-daughter team, Kathy Moca and Emilie Whitaker, Beija-Flor are the perfect fit for real women with curves and are available online and in more than 300 boutiques nationwide.
