Our Favorite J.Crew Model Pops Up In Boden

Just look who pops up in the Boden Fall 2010 Collection Catalogue...our favorite J.Crew model...circa 2007 and beyond. The oufits she's wearing in look two and look three could almost be a page torn out of a J.Crew catalogue from 2007. The grey melange jacket with a ruffle front button is perfectly preppy and the sixties skirt is tres chic. To see more of these looks check out Bodenusa.com

Beyonce wows on the cover of August's People Style Watch issue in an ethereal blue gown with gold accessories. PSW encourages us to "get the look" with J.Crew's Silk Chiffon Twist Tank Dress at a cool $170. While the "everyday man's dress" is pretty, it can't hold a candle to he designer one Beyonce dons...sorry J.Crew!

Inspiration From Inception

After seeing the film Inception...I was inspired by all of the around the neck square scarves Ellen Page's character wore. Playing the part of a Parisian college student with a talent for designing dreams, her style was laid back cool. Check out the scarves below from Madewell 1937...all of which are on sale!
