So while was living it up in Miami (or spending all day in sessions at the hotel, whatever), I made plans to add contributor posts. Unfortunately, my preschedule was a total fail, so today's post is a special guest post from Laura Diaz, an FIT student living and playing in the big apple.

We wear our jeans almost every day, they are one of the most versatile garments that continue to evolve with fashion, yet they can sometimes be underappreciated. Jeans are renewed every so often, changing small details to adapt to, or sometimes create, the latest trends. This spring, the ripped jean trend is back! This trend is being followed by many celebrities around the world, from A-list Hollywood actors to the hottest telenovela stars.

What today starts a just a small tear on the knee, tomorrow can become a gaping hole or the beginning of some fashionable denim shorts! Alessandra Ambrosio shows us how to rock the small tear.

The natural tear of jeans, for me, looks better than the store bought. Maybe they look exactly the same, but it's more of a feeling of attachment. Why buy a pair of jeans that are torn? Emmy Rossum seems to think this way as well in her casual outfit, looking chic in the city.

Then there are those like Ashley Greene who show us what happens when that little tear in the knee gets out of hand.

Move on Penelope Cruz, the new hot Spanish telenovelas actress Michelle Jenner looks effortlessly beautiful with her casual torn denim.

On the other hand, Rihanna wears an all denim outfit that looks great on her but her accessories and shoes take away from the look. Always a trend setter, her mismatched and over the top outfits can always be forgiven.
