jcrew, lonnymag
as if the clothes themselves weren't chic enough, the latest addition to jcrew's ever growing retail stores, on manhattan's upper east side, took a cue from creative director jenna lyon's home. leaving no stone unturned (or table unstyled) the entire store is decorated with the same quirky yet preppy style that jcrew has come to be known for. (a great feature in the latest lonny you can view here)

i just came across this shoot w magazine did of jennifer garner for their january 2010 issue. i'm really not a fan of hers (this seems to be a trend) but the way this shoot was accessorized is insane. she is completely transformed. stunning.

tis the season for the most decadent of attire to be unveiled. with each holiday season comes a host of festive holiday engagements requiring an update to that wardrobe of "something or others". i'm usually partial to simple sophisticated styles, this remains true come december. however, the very thought of a holiday party dress demands lush textures; satins, sequins, laces, velvets....
