p.g. for j.c.

I've been a J.Crew fan for years, and I love a good high-end designer/mass-market collaboration, so obviously I'm in love with Prabal Gurung's capsule collection for J.Crew. Feminine pieces mixed with over-sized bows and a gorgeous color palette make me wish [even more than I already do] I had money to spare on these beautiful garments.

can't stop won't stop...

...blogging my love for Pencey! I seriously cannot stop gushing about my love for this line! The spring 2011 collection encompasses a free-spirited, easy, breezy chic-ness with just a bit of an edge, and I can't get enough. Another great thing about Pencey{as if you needed another reason to love them.}??? The clothes are just as amazing from the back as they are the front {hellooooo open-back silk sweatshirt!}! A lot of designers, myself included, sometimes forget that the back of a garment should make just as much of a statement as the front, and Pencey consistently ups the ante in that department. 

now if they'd just hurry up and hire me... :) <3

broadway week: day 4 - billy elliot

Today's Broadway week show is 'Billy Elliot.' I will admit, this isn't on my top see list, but I love a good dance-based show, and this show is all about ballet. I chose to style a look based on the ballet theme, but since the show is about a boy who is a ballet dancer, I chose to keep the color palette more in the tan/neutral zone, and have delicate accessories to keep the look feminine.

broadway week: day 2 - HAIR

I've swooned and gushed all about HAIR before, but since Regis and Kelly wanted to feature them [and their nearly entirely new tribe!] for Broadway week, I thought, why not? No need to tell me twice. This look is perfect for lounging in the park, roaming the city, attending a be-in [maybe of the music festival variety?] and most importantly spreading peace, love, and letting the sun shine in!

broadway week: day 1 - american idiot

It's Broadway week! [At least on my blog and Live! with Regis and Kelly :)] I'm going to be showcasing fashion inspired by a lot of the shows currently on Broadway that I am in love with or dying to see [aaaand some of the same ones R&K pick, too!] 

Today's look is inspired by the new musical 'American Idiot.' This show looks beyond amazing. The entire score for the show is comprised of songs from Green Day's album of the same name, and a few tracks from their latest release, '21st Century Breakdown.' [side note: I always forget how much I like Green Day until I hear one of their songs and then I remember.] The look of the show is kind of grungy and dirty, but theres hidden elements of polish to it all, which is the look I tried to create with these pieces. And what good punk rock show doesn't require the perfect, smudgy, waterproof eyeliner?

1. leather pants - rag & bone

2. draped top - dolce vita

3. bracelet -METALSKIN

4. bracelet - low luv x erin wasson

5. bracelet - giles & brother

6. bracelet - gorjana

11. waterproof eyeliner - smashbox
