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

pencey's from heaven

 These images from Pencey's Holiday lookbook are simply amazing. The pieced leggings are pretty OOC. One of my favorite labels just keeps getting better!

 

how do i love thee pencey? let me count the ways...

One of my favorite labels, Pencey, has put their Spring 2010 look-book online, and once again, I'm obsessed. Sporty looks with unexpected elements with feminine details--I am in love. I love the simple color palette allowing it to blend seamlessly with existing wardrobe pieces, yet fun and different enough to really mark the start of the season. Favorite piece: the cut-out shoulder hoodie, it's a must have.

pencey for your thoughts...

One of my favorite discoveries this year was the label Pencey, and to celebrate the end of the 2009 holiday season, here's a sampling of the Pencey holiday collection. I love it all, the lace, the animal print, the floaty looks mixed with the streamlined slim leggings, all of it!

enjoy your new year's eve!

[and be safe!]

So, I have been on a bit of hiatus. All the Fashion Week coverage overwhelmed me and I gave up for the time being. I will attempt to put some of my favs up over the rest of the month.
