Filed under: Style in the News

JCPenney taps Charoltte Ronson to re-up its brand

Filed under: Style in the News

Suffice it to say, everyone -- for the most part-- is sustaining themselves on some level of brokeness right now. As a result, the likelihood of one dropping more than forty bucks on a cute knit top or equally covetable accessory is slim to none in our current economic down turn. Luckily, there's Target's Go International collections for a smart and affordable quick sartorial pick-me-up.

And now, it appears JC Penney may be the next go-to destination for stylish women on a budget as well:

Charlotte Ronson, the downtown cool girl who designs whimsical tops and bottoms in her free time, has been recruited by JC Penney to bring her laid back aesthetic to its junior's department. The collection which is being dubbed I [Heart] Ronson will consist of everything from $15 for layering T-shirts and tanks to $26 to $44 for blouses, sweaters and jeans to $40 to $65 for dresses and jackets.

Sweet and cheap. Just how we like it! Expect all of the designs to begin rolling into JC Penney stores next February.

Why aren't you wearing this? Mixed Metal Coil Bib Necklace

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves


Trying to figure out how to fill that wide, deep-v neckline? You're going to need a great necklace, and while you could go with something long, maybe with a fabulous pendant, we'd like to switch it up a bit and wear a funky bib necklace, like this Mixed Metal Coil Bib Necklace.

Teen sex ad not endorsed by JC Penney

Filed under: Stores We Love, Style in the News




Oh, you precocious advertising companies -- always trying to push the limit with your racy print ads and TV spots. The latest blow-up over some scandalous marketing gone awry surrounds a fake ad for JC Penney. A production company called Epoch Films created a fictitious TV commercial (above), which features two teenagers putting their clothes on as fast as they can. You find out later that they've been practicing getting dressed quickly so as not to get caught having sex in the house. Saucy!

Stylefoul: palazzo pants

It's taken me a long, long time to get used to gaucho pants. The knee-length, seemingly equator-wide bottomed pants don't look too bad anymore, and can sometimes be quite attractive.

But I've recently stumbled upon something completely new to me: palazzo pants. Ultimately, these are long gaucho pants, but with several tiers (palazzo refers to "a fortress-like, three-storied home during the Italian Renaissance").

About.com has a whole page devoted to "what to wear with palazzo pants," and with its text, it makes the pants seem harmless.

But after looking at pictures -- a "formal" pair of palazzos and this coffee-colored pair -- I just don't see how these ever made it off the drawing board!
