&lt;p&gt;The Absolute Legging is AG’s newest skinny jean with a streamlined silhouette from hip-to-ankle. AG’s skinniest skinny was designed with function in mind. The bottom’s designers at AG desired a simple, slim style that would seamlessly tuck into their boots. They looked to the Legging and Legging Ankle for style notes, and conjured up the Absolute, a body contouring silhouette with an ankle hugging hem. The end result is a versatile skinny that looks equally good tucked into boots, showing off pumps, or casually rolled.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/51167410003</link><guid>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/51167410003</guid><pubDate>Thu, 23 May 2013 12:58:00 -0700</pubDate><category>ag jeans</category><category>denim</category><category>copywriting</category><category>los angeles</category><category>AG</category><category>skinny jeans</category><category>denim on denim</category></item><item><title>Step into peace, love, unity, respect…in Berkeley....</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/be371e4441db3dcefcbb94e8a8f0630b/tumblr_mmsxxpFOsl1qhlxazo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Step into peace, love, unity, respect…in Berkeley. ✌#megabuzz #plur #peaceman&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/50434618805</link><guid>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/50434618805</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 May 2013 11:56:13 -0700</pubDate><category>megabuzz</category><category>peaceman</category><category>plur</category></item><item><title>megabuzz:

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MEGA BUZZ&lt;/strong&gt; was featured in &lt;a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/summeranne/rave-kids-in-the-90s-vs-rave-kids-today" title="MEGA BUZZ buzz"&gt;Buzzfeed’s awesome comparison story of 90s rave style vs. new school style&lt;/a&gt;. I will always be fond of the comfy, phat pants American raver style I rocked in the 90s, but to each raver’s own. Times change, things evolve. Thanks for the shout out! And welcome new readers!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AG has crafted beautiful clothing that reflects a modern design sensibility since 2000. From their revered AG-ed denim to their effortless sportswear, their clothes maintain a classic sophistication that transcends seasons.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/49457605619</link><guid>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/49457605619</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 May 2013 13:34:00 -0700</pubDate><category>ag jeans</category><category>copywriting</category><category>web copy</category><category>revolve clothing</category><category>denim</category><category>web bio</category></item><item><title>AG web bio on agjeans.com:

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our Story&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At AG, we believe in crafting beautiful clothing that reflects a modern design sensibility, while maintaining a classic sophistication that transcends seasons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AG was launched in 2000 by Yul Ku, a pioneer in the denim industry. While our DNA is rooted in denim, AG’s evolution from an exclusively premium denim brand to a contemporary lifestyle brand began in 2008 when Samuel Ku, son of Yul Ku, took over as the brand’s Creative Director. Since then, Samuel and the AG design team have focused their efforts on seamlessly integrating complete collections that reflect the true sensibility of the brand: Chic. Sophisticated. Classic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From the initial stages of concept and design, to cutting, sewing, laundering, finishing and shipping, AG’s vertically integrated manufacturing facilities unite our design expertise with manufacturing ingenuity—truly unparalleled in the fashion industry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We believe in being socially active and responsible. Whether it’s our Ozone Technology and use of eco-conscious fibers&lt;span&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;or our partnership with charity: water, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations, we are committed to making a difference.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Revered by retailers, lauded by influencers, chosen by you, we’ve enjoyed being a part of your personal style. Reflecting back and thinking forward, we’re proud of our story and grateful for the opportunity to share it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chic. Sophisticated. Classic.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/49448025608</link><guid>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/49448025608</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 May 2013 10:58:00 -0700</pubDate><category>ag jeans</category><category>web writing</category><category>copywriting</category><category>los angeles</category><category>denim</category><category>corporate bio</category></item><item><title>Good morning bubbly Betsey Johnson!🍸🎀💄@agjeans #luckyfabb...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/aad6aff809310f7a1b9ec9b2a28276e6/tumblr_mkso4cjH5h1qhlxazo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Good morning bubbly Betsey Johnson!🍸🎀💄@agjeans #luckyfabb #betseyjohnson #tinybubbles #icon (at The Bazaar by José Andrés)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/47205432940</link><guid>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/47205432940</guid><pubDate>Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:17:00 -0700</pubDate><category>tinybubbles</category><category>luckyfabb</category><category>betseyjohnson</category><category>icon</category></item><item><title>Technicolor Cuteness (PureWow LA, Home+Garden)...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/53448b7478eaa1435465c048ed823786/tumblr_mkoun9A1ux1qhlxazo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purewow.com/entry_detail/la/5244/Give-your-pooch-a-pop-of-color.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Technicolor Cuteness&lt;/a&gt; (PureWow LA, Home+Garden) *Annabelle’s PureWow debut!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/47030883430</link><guid>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/47030883430</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Apr 2013 09:47:33 -0700</pubDate><category>PureWow</category><category>los angeles</category><category>pets</category><category>dogs</category><category>french bulldogs</category><category>culver city</category><category>Annabelle</category><category>dog hair color</category></item><item><title>A CLEAR PATH TO CLEAN WATER…donate!</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/dd3bc81b48ac5228275b4c41d05ad49b/tumblr_mkc454pq5t1qhlxazo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mycharitywater.org/ag-spring-2013" target="_blank"&gt;A CLEAR PATH TO CLEAN WATER…donate&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/46440340963</link><guid>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/46440340963</guid><pubDate>Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:43:00 -0700</pubDate><category>ag jeans</category><category>agjeans</category><category>charity</category><category>charity: water</category><category>web copy</category><category>banners</category><category>taglines</category><category>denim</category></item><item><title>AG + charity: water yearlong fundraising campaign tagline and...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1613f5f359d354c45b62541261d3222b/tumblr_mka16gKr6J1qhlxazo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;AG + charity: water yearlong fundraising campaign tagline and messaging. &lt;a href="http://mycharitywater.org/ag-spring-2013" target="_blank"&gt;Donate today&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/46344414626</link><guid>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/46344414626</guid><pubDate>Tue, 26 Mar 2013 09:44:40 -0700</pubDate><category>AG Jeans</category><category>los angeles</category><category>fundraiser</category><category>charity: water</category><category>charity</category><category>taglines</category><category>social media writing</category></item><item><title>AG-ed jeans combine the laid-back look of yesteryear with...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ec68932508e2cf896c6eced3e6cbfa18/tumblr_mk0rjfbTCi1qhlxazo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;AG-ed jeans combine the laid-back look of yesteryear with AG’s jean making expertise of now. Updated with modern fabrics and styled with flattering fits, AG-ed denim is an ode to vintage emulating naturally aged denim ranging from 1 to 30 years old. From subtle rips to crafty patches, the higher the number, the lighter and more distressed the jean. A pair of AG-ed jeans is as close as you can get to that unique vintage flea market find.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/45919280845</link><guid>http://samanthadurbin.tumblr.com/post/45919280845</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 Mar 2013 09:38:03 -0700</pubDate><category>agjeans</category><category>AGed</category><category>Product Copywriting</category><category>denim</category><category>los angeles</category><category>vintage</category></item><item><title>A CLEAR PATH TO CLEAN WATER.
