Twyla and her number one muse: Keith Roberts

I have to say, I dig Twyla's style... She keeps it simple on an everyday basis: her uniform consisting of gap blue jeans, a crisp white shirt, and sneakers.  Today, however she snazzed it up and put on a pair of balck cowboy boots with this little prairie skirt.  

Nancy Sinatra

I had the pleasure of meeting Nancy Sinatra today at Twyla's showing of her new Sinatra production.  Frank Sinatra is one of the most impeccably dressed style icons I can think of.  He was the epitome of effortlessly cool.

Norma Kamali

Today, Twyla Tharp held a showing of her new production in the works that I am currently involved in.  Norma Kamali, fashion designer, was in attendance.  Kamali and Twyla have had a long standing relationship, beginning with one of her iconic pieces, The Upper Room, which Kamali designed the costumes for.  Last year I was lucky enough to be involved in another of her works, Rabbit and Rogue.  Kamali's costumes for it were fantastic.  My favorite of them all was this fantastic ruched 40s inspired leotard.  Hopefully, she will be designing again for this new production!

Ray Ban Remasters Party

















Ray Bans are one of those things that will be eternally cool.  I remember pining for a pair since I was a young girl, and can recall the excitement of the purchase of my first pair.  Last night, I went to the Ray Ban Remasters party with my friend Michelle and all of the glitterati followed. Upon walking in the entire cast of Gossip Girl was walking out, well almost (Ed Westwick, Blake Lively, Chase Crawford, and Penn Badgley).  Sorry I didn't get to snap a good picture of them but the paparazzi were hovering around them.  I will say that, in person the hands down sexiest one was definitely Ed Westwick.  
OMFGG! Spotted: Chuck Bass leaving the Ray Ban party single.  
I wonder if he fancies ballet dancers? hehe, XOXO Jaunty Jane

Topshop finally opening in the city

Topshop has released new photos of some of their new clothes for Topshop NYC.  I for one, am ecstatic that its finally coming here, but I'll believe it when I see it.  The date of its opening has been pushed back twice already.  But with the economy this bad, all of the "recessionistas" need some frugal fashion!
