Christophe Decarnin filled Balmain's spring '09 runway with models in jeans in various states of disrepair. Prices for the designer versions range from $1,900 (for a basic pair) to $4,400 (for an intricately embroidered, "very distressed" style). Inspired by their cool look, resourceful InStyle fashion assistant Katie Casamassimo took out her materials and tools (right) to make her own interpretation. Here's how:

Happy holid-eyes

navy eyelinerBy now, you've (hopefully) got your dress steamed of wrinkles, shoes polished, jewelry matched, and handbag outfitted for the holiday parties that have been and still are happening. And even if the holiday parties have already happened, you've still got New Year's.

However, have you done anything about your makeup? The same look you've been doing all fall is fine, if you're going to get coffee with a girlfriend, but you've got to step it up for a holiday party. InStyle suggests you change it up with navy eyeliner. At first, I was skeptical. I've used nothing but black eyeliner and dark shadows to create a smoky look all my life, but the look of navy, especially with plum and bronze shadows, is stunning on Thandie Newton (then again, she probably looks great without any makeup on, too). InStyle used MAC's eyelining pencil in Prussian, which run about $14, but if you don't want to invest that much on something you might not like, try Rimmel's Kohl eyeliner in Denim Blue, which is only $3.19 at drugstore.com

Do your Eyes, Lips, Face for only $1 each

ELF lip gloss on cell phoneA friend just tipped me off to a special promotion by a new makeup line called E.L.F. (for Eyes Lips Face), which has already received a good review by InStyle magazine. E.L.F. will be sold at Bloomingdale's in the near future, but until and its debut in stores, the company is promoting almost all of their products for only $1 each.

I haven't yet tried the products myself, but at only a dollar piece, I'm willing to try something new. Heck, you can never have too many shades of liptick, right? I particularly like the tiny lipglosses that attach to your cell phone!
