    Breaking Rules

    Eyelet is normally too casual for a professional setting, especially since it generally comes in the form of some saucy little summertime sundress which is obviously a big fat NO in the workplace.  However, I came across several eyelet pencil skirts this spring, including this red one from from J. Crew, and realized that an exception would have to be made. Needless to say, this rose-colored skirt and I fell deeply, deeply in love.  So to consummate the profound love and affection we share and make the skirt corporate-setting appropriate, I decided to counterbalance the otherwise casual eyelet fabric with more business…

    Brilliant Brocade

    Ok Jenna Lyons, your level of awesomeness at J. Crew is starting to become extremely problematic.  My ability to rationalize yet another J. Crew brocade or jacquard purchase is reaching an olympic level of excellence.  I’m going broke on brocade.  But can you blame me?  This is just beyond. P.S. Omgjennalyonsi’mobsessedwithyou.P.P.S. And in another episode of “Mary eats her words,” the punk-infused showing at the Met Gala last night was… well… AMAZING.  I’ll be spending much of my post-work hours continuing to drool over these punktacular ensembles.    Top: J. Crew; Cropped Pants: Theory  Scarf: Tom and Colette (available upon request); Belt: J. Crew…
