Collection Covet: Olsenboye at JCPenney

(Click to Enlarge)

So I've only hear minimal buzz about the Olsen twins new collection exclusively at JCPenney and now I'm wondering why. Olsenboye, a fabulous, funky and affordable juniors collection totally rocks. Two things I noticed immediately, the adorable carmel colored oxfords (number 1) that we just recently showed you how to wear HERE. The other item is the button back plaid shirt that is a style that the Olsen twins highlighted in their Elizabeth and James collection years ago. Now you and me can get an Elizabeth and James-esque piece for hundreds less. Bravo. 

I also adore the Foldover XBody Tote (number 10) and will be sure to try on the Bow Skirt too (number 8). There are so many sassy and fun pieces in this collection. One piece that is sure to get you noticed and is always a classic (we literally mentioned it years ago HERE) is the Piped Boyfriend Blazer (number 7). This would look great paired with boyfriend jeans or even a sequin skirt. 

Make sure to mix and match these pieces to correctly compliment menswear pieces with an added femininity. I love this collection and will be finding my way into a JCPenney to check it out in person very, very soon. Until then, enjoy and drool and prices of the corresponding links below!

1. Parachute Oxford - $34.99

2. NY Logo Tee - $14.99

What to Buy Now: Top Ten Valentine's Day Gifts for Him

(Click to Enlarge)

Valentine's Day is nearly a week away. Though we never really over-do it for Valentine's Day...we do celebrate with a yummy dinner at home and a relaxing, enjoyable evening. Are you stumped on what to get your man? No worries...I'm here to help. You already got a sneak peek at one of RWD's gifts over on Goodwill shopping excursion on CasaCullen HERE. 

In addition to his historical but fictional Texas book (that will one day become a great coffee table book after he reads it) I also stumbled upon a wall-mounted beer bottle opener at World Market. Oh, he's so going to love that! 

I've compiled a great collage of awesome gifts above. I'm toying with idea of getting RWD Hubby a robe, as I love mine that he got me for Christmas. If you're man loves fishing, how adorable is that Sardine Clock (#3) and I don't know any beer drinking/grill master man who wouldn't love the Beer Holster (#6). Also, look closely at the Ballpark Cufflinks (#8)...these aren't your average joe-schmoe cufflinks. Nope, they are crafted from the salvaged seats from your choice of nine different stadiums all over the USA. Very cool! 

Enjoy these ten great ideas and please do share any other great Valentine's Day ideas you have with RunwayDaily and all the readers. Another great idea, should your gentleman also be a daddy, create a custom framed version of some of the children's artwork especially for him (details HERE). Are none of my ideas doing it for you?

ReBlog: Vanity Fair's "New Hollywood" Issue Completely Lacks Diversity

This is actually very disturbing! Where's Saldana? Where's Pinto? 

Upsetting as I'm actually an avid/devout VF reader...boo!

Seriously...please read the rest of the article here: shine.yahoo.com

First Look: More Cutouts - Spring 2010 Runway

(Click to Enlarge)

I love me some cutouts! They've been sauntering down the runway for multiple seasons now but this seasons cutouts caught my attention. Why? They aren't as hap-hazard and wild as before. Nope, these cutouts are the good ol' cylindrical type. 

Round cutouts featured above for your viewing pleasure from the spring runways and some fabulous cutout finds below. It's a saucy way to show a little skin but not go overboard. My faves? The white Thrasher cut out top and black BCBG leggings grab my attention right away. Enjoy and cut it out, pronto!

BOTB - Belle of the Ball: Best Dressed at The Grammys - Beyonce, Katy Perry, Heidi Klum and Rihanna

(Click to Enlarge)

Oh boo hoo, we missed the Grammys last night! We were busy catching up on our LOST seasons before the next one begins. I regret to say, that I actually totally forgot. But that doesn't mean I can't tell you who I think deserved the best dressed award...Beyonce takes the cake, in my opinion. Although no one showed up in bright PINK like Kruger at the Golden Globes...there seemed to be an attendee dress code memo that circled Hollywood. 

Beyonce, followed up by a bevy of beauties in nude colored gowns, stood out in her intricately appliquéd fishtail Stephane Rolland gown, Casadei heels and gilded Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. I mean, talk about a head-turning look. Katy Perry looked smashing and ladylike in her gold-dusted, nude Zac Posen gown that I absolutely adore. She topped off her look with a drool-worthy Judith Leiber jeweled elephant clutch. Heidi Klum looks amazing, post childbirth, in her short and sweet nude embellished Emilio Pucci mini-dress and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. She makes mommy-hood look so easy. 

Rounding out my top four, Rihanna looked fierce as can be in her white Elie Saab gown with feather and chiffon details, Neil Lane diamond earrings, rings and bracelet. Did you watch last night's show? Did it rock? The snippets I've seen are quite spectacular. Truthfully, I didn't like the dress that my usual fashion fave Taylor Swift chose. I'm sure she'll be up for more awards so she can make it up to me then. Bravo to all four gorgeous women and enjoy!

What to Buy Now: Celeb Inspired - Spring Worthy & Ready Pastels

(Click to Enlarge)

I love pastel hues and I rarely wear them. I have a few key pieces in my wardrobe that get some serious rotation and this post today has me convinced that more need to be added before springtime. Aren't the above looks just cheerful? Don't they brighten your day? Pastel and pale hues are great with lighter toned skin but also look smashing on a dark tan. You can put me in the former category as I'm in desperate need/dreaming of a bit of fun in the sun. 

I've gathered together some speedy-savvy-stylin' for you below. All the pieces come in at just under $100. That seems to be my magic number lately because it's a great reason to splurge but also get a classic piece for the coming spring weather. If i can combine that with a classic, then I can aptly cross something off my New Years to-do list. Enjoy and maybe you've forgotten about that pretty pastel blouse in the back of your closet. Bust it out this weekend and look spectacularly ready for spring!

Outfit Inspiration: Warm Weather Getaway à la Dreamscape Watercolor by Laura Trevey

 

(Click to Enlarge)

 

(Click Thumbnails to be Directed by ShopStyle for Info & to Buy!)

I love a good outfit inspiration. RWD Hubby and I were just chatting last night that we'd love to get to Mexico. He's been to Tijuana, once, when he was 18 years old. I've never been. It's not in the cards for this year, but maybe next year. We already have too many travel plans on the calendar to add more. But, with that being said, I am lusting and dreaming over a tropical vacation on this very dreary and rainy Austin, TX day.

The perfect ensemble for my imaginary traveling wishes would be a comfy dress, the perfect flip flops, great aviators and a stylish hat to keep the sun out of my face. I've incorporated all of those pieces and much more in my Dreamscape watercolor inspired look above. Sidenote: how awesome is this watercolor painting by Laura Trevey? You can purchase the original 3.5" x 11" painting from her Etsy store HERE for $50! 

Our home is filled with a very similar color palette as Laura's painting so I could envision it looking quite 'at home' above our fireplace. You know how I love me an Etsy artisan for both HOME and FASHION! Well I just wanted to send some inspirational pieces your way...they are all pretty inexpensive and how fresh and enticing is that mustard colored bag too? Ahhhh, love it. Enjoy!

Wanting/Wishing/Wearing: Mixed Denim Ensembles for Spring

(Click to Enlarge)

Mixed denim is making a huge comeback. Seriously, I was just chatting with a girlfriend and we were both dying laughing that one of her recent dates showed up in acid wash denim jeans...and matching jacket. Now that's just taking it a bit too far. Plus, I don't think you should aim to match your mixed denim. Throw on a pair of acid washed skinnies with a dark denim vest. Or mix your baggy boyfriend jeans with an light wash button down. 

When mixing and matching your denim, remember to take cues from the great inspirational combos above. My fave...def the D&G look. I love, love it so much and will attempt to emulate soon. I've also added some speedy-savvy-stylin' below with all the great denim pieces I can find under $100. There are some serious deals to be had out there. 

Look below, see the AE Denim Vest for $39.50? I have one very similar (a vintage Levi's) and readers, it gets some serious wardrobe rotation. I just sported it this past Saturday with some dark denim skinnies to catch a movie. So yes, even I'm diving in and mixing my denim. Go get em, mix master and enjoy!
