Duro Olowu x JCP Party and Lookbook

JCP has partnered with Nigerian-born, London-based designer Duro Olowu to create a 70+ piece collection that features bold color, whimsical prints with a feminine touch. The collection is launching for a limited-time collection 530 stores and online today, March 1, 2013.  The collection includes pieces from apparel, home and accessories - all at under $100 a pop.


So as part of the celebration of the launch I was invited to the preview party at the Stone Rose Lounge in the Time Warner Center was a scene as cocktails floated around in addition to juices by Organic Avenue. Mushroom tarts, summer rolls and cookies made for an ecclectic offering of light bites.

nicole by Nicole Miller Holiday 2011 Look Book

My personal faves are the perfect sequin tee in look 3 and just about all of look 5. Can’t wait to see the collection in stores starting this November!  What’s your favorite piece?

n by Nicole Miller Fall Footwear Collection

While I don’t usually consider JC Penney to be a footwear destination, perhaps I will have to change my opinion on that subject thanks to Nicole Miller’s diffusion line.  I just caught a glimpse of the Fall 2011 shoes in the n by Nicole Miller collection and was won over by the affordability and the styling.  You can snag super cute little booties, patterned pumps and sophisticated wedges all for under $100 a pop. In fact right now several styles are marked down to just $50!  While my fave style is definitely the open toe buckle booties above, I am also digging the zip wedge booties and construction style booties below. Wish that they made size 5, but unfortunately for me the collection runs from size 6-11.  What do you think of the collection?

Fall 2011: Nicole by Nicole Miller

Dress from Nicole by Nicole Miller fall 2011, $39.99
It's been years since I've stepped foot into a JCPenney, but with all their collaborations, I have been checking out their website quite often. One of my favorites at JCP is Nicole by Nicole Miller, and I'm especially looking forward to the fall 2011 collection. Here are a few of my favorite pieces from the lookbook.

We all know how much I love prints. This "skyscraper print top" and "primitive print trapeze top" will both retail for under $30!

I love the high-low hem of this blouse; it's a great twist on the classic white button up. I'm also a fan of this V-neck poncho. Both are simple, easy-to-wear pieces that would be great for fall layering, and they'll both retail for $35. Not bad, JCP!

Follow that Truck: Olsenboye in NYC

You've probably heard by now that the Olsen's are launching a juniors line for JC Penney Dubbed Olsenboye that's scheduled to hit select JC Penney Stores and online on November 6, 2009. Well New Yorkers if you're in a rush to see what all the fuss is about you can always check out the Olsenboye Brand Treat Trucks which are apparently giving out free cupcakes and discounted clothing. According to Racked,"The clothes, which will run to $50 in-store, are marked down to $10 (for flannel tops, tie-dyed bags, and loose tee-shirts) and $15 (for blazers, hoodies, hobos and jeggings.)". If you missed the truck in Union Sqare today check it out tomorrow or on Wednesday!

I Heart Ronson, Charlotte Ronson for JC Penney

When you think of JC Penney, you don't often think of it as your source for fashionable apparel! Well they are hoping to turn things around and make the Shopping Mall staple have a more fashion forward image.

Nylon magazine offers the first look at Charlotte Ronson's Diffusion line for JC Penney.

Items will retail for $15-65, while Ronson's namesake contemporary line wholesales for $70-130. I Heart Ronson will be available at JC Penney Stores starting this February.

I think the collection looks great! You get the casual girlish ease of Charlotte Ronson at a great price! Watch out Target, you may have some collaboration competition on your hands! I love the dark floral prints combined with stripes for fall! My personal fave piece has got to be the romper! CR always makes a great romper!!!
