Prps.....the funkiest and best looking jeans for Fall!
The girls at A Few Goody Gumdrops love their Prps jeans! My favorite is the Boyfriend.They fall perfectly. As we dished in our previous post, these oh-so-funky jeans don't stretch like our "current" jeans and are minimally ripped with a few paint splatters. These Japanese denim jeans are a must-have and oh-so-comfy. Pair with a great belt, your weekender bag, platform ankle booties or distressed ankle Frye boots. Check out the Daytona Boot Cut Jean in Thunder Wash and the Dart Skinny Jean in Rusty River. You'll love all the different washes! Shop the Must-Have Jeans on Singer22 at A Few Goody Gumdrops

Prps...The Hottest and Coolest Jeans!
Thursday, July 30, 2009
Our Friends at Thefind.com Love Trina Turk
Trina Turk's Palm Beach Style from Our Friends at Thefind.com
Palm Springs is a jewel in the desert and boats iconic mid-century architecture, vintage furniture shops, and many luxe boutique hotels all touting the chic desert lifestyle. With all of the colors and inspirational sights in Palm Springs there is one name that comes to mind when you think of colorful vintage inspired fashion in Palm Springs, Trina Turk. Trina's success reaches far and wide these days with shops across California as well as New York and a pop-up store this summer in East Hampton. Inspired by the eclectic mix of cultures, landscapes and architecture of Los Angeles, Trina's vision is to create wearable and optimistic sportswear known for the excellent fit of pants and signature modernist prints.
Trina took a few minutes from her busy day to share her favorite hot spots in Palm Springs (and beyond) with us.
Favorite locals spot to get a bite to eat
For lunch: Norma’s at the Parker Palm Springs (designed by Jonathan Adler), El Mirasol
For dinner: Le Valluris or BBQ at home
For drinks: The groovy lobby of the Parker Palm Springs, Melvyn’s or cocktails at home by the pool
Favorite vintage store vintage shops (clothing and furniture -- besides her own store of course!). Bon Vivant, The Galleria, Modern Way, Studio 111—all of these are vintage home furnishings and accessories
Favorite spa getaway
Post Ranch Inn, Big Sur, CA or Ten Thousand Waves outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico
Best place for getting a glimpse of a celebrity
The Mercer Hotel in Soho.
Most inspirational place for Trina Turk's recent collection in Palm Springs or anywhere in the world. John Lautner’s Elrod house
Right now you can take a sneak peek at Trina's fall 09 collection below. The sportswear and dress collection consists of a palette of neutrals in black, grey and beige mixed with bold colorful prints and touches of vintage tailoring. We especially love Trina's take on short and 3/4 sleeve coats. Trina consistently features these types of jackets and they are ideal for daytime office wear. Some of the pieces are available now and others will be available in August and September.

Our Guest Blogger Thefind.com Loves Romping Around!
Sophisticated Playwear-Short Romper Jumpsuits from thefind.com
The short romper jumpsuit has grown up. No longer just for playdates at the playground. Now available in sophisticated styles and sizes for grown ups, the summer romper is one way to keep cool and maintain your style credibility. Honed in fabrics like silk, knit and linen these delicate little short jumpsuits look very pretty dressed up with a pair of ankle tie wedge espadrilles.
We spotted a few short romper jumpsuits and are coveting them as our go-to summer uniform. Haven's 'Amy' silk print romper embraces a subtle ethnic tonal print with a blouse effect and tie waist. Pair it with an eye-catching pair of beaded wedge espadrilles. Emblazoned with the signature zigzag pattern the Missoni Fortaleza woven jumpsuit indulges our search for "La Dolce Vita" with a spaghetti strap tank and flowing shorts. The Missoni jumpsuit is perfect for a bikini cover up or night on the town. Twin the Missoni jumpsuit is a pair of Louboutin light blue ankle tie espadrilles. Elizabeth and James' black silk summer romper will be the urban girl's best friend. A decidedly daring jumper for the perfect downtown look. Don a pair of black caged sandals or beach-ify the look with a pair of black ankle tie espadrilles. Alexander Wang's edgy zipper-embellished silk short romper is made even cooler with a graphic marble print. Pair the oversized short jumpsuit with a pair of pretty lavender hued Louboutin espadrilles.

Guest Blogger Thefind.com Gets Out Taste Buds Going
Outfit Inspired by Laudree French Macaroons
In honor of Bastille Day which takes place on July 14th we take inspiration from one of our favorite Parisian destinations, Ladurée the patisserie made famous by its delectable macaroons. The luscious crisp little cakes are filled with smooth creamy centers with flavors like jasmin mango, bergamot, caramel with salted butter, red fruits and orange blossom just to name a few. The colors of these little treats are worthy of a trend story touting summer's pastel infused fashions, many of which are marked down to make room for fall arrivals. So indulge in a sweet treat whether it be a macaroon Elizabeth and James blouse which you can pair with white jeans. Or how about these pretty Maloles flats, they'll look charming with a flittery silk summer dress. Even everyday basics like skinny jeans or classic aviators will look perfectly lovely for a quick jaunt to the patisserie for a box of what else? Pastel colored macaroons!
Shown above from top right clockwise:
- Elizabeth and James "Lillian" Blouse, $206.50 at Bloomingdales.com
- Ray-Ban Classic aviator sunglasses silvertone with brown graduated lenses, $135 at Net-a-Porter
