So.. what you need is jeans that fit relaxes but not too loose so that you still look tall.
We can't do loose jeans looks or hip-hop style looks b/c our legs are too short and stumpy.
If you have skinny thighs and calves, you can probably do tighter jeans. If not, then I suggest looking into (based on my own experience):
Levi 527's low rise bootcut. Fit OK but needs bottom to be shortened (cheaply done at a tailor). Even after shortening, doesn't really look too bootcut since the bottom still bunches up.
Guess Jeans bootcuts: try on at store and even after shortening by a tailor, they still look bootcut. They fit at the thighs (slim fit but not tight) and then break at the knees, and have a small flare that doesn't bunch up at the shoes. I need to get back to a Guess store!
As for designer jeans, I've wanted to try but haven't had the willpower to expend over $100-200.

I'll have to take a look at some Guess stuff, but need to find a store somewhere around here. I will 2nd the Levis though. The last pair of jeans I had were the ones you mentioned, and they fit GREAT for a few weeks. Unfortunately, I dropped 2-3 pants sizes afterwards, and when I tried to find them again, it was to no avail.
The ones I found were Bullhead brand, and fit very similarly, if not a little bit better in the ass, and a little higher up on the waist. The jeans I have are probably as tight as I'd be willing to go for now, as I have very muscular thighs, which are proportionally much larger than my calves.
