Wishlist: Prabal Gurung Jacket

Prabal Gurung Metallic brocade and stretch-wool peplum jacket (clipped to polyvore.com)


I wanted to share this Prabal Gurung jacket because as soon as I saw it, I just fell in love! It's fit to flare with a peplum. What a beautiful, feminine military inspired jacket! This goes to my wishlist, for sure!

What sort of things do you have on your wishlist?

Vanity Fair: Women's Suffrage & Equal Rights

Vanity Fair has created a beautiful educational series about women's suffrage and equal rights. This video is beautiful and emotionally driven. It reminds me of how thankful I am to be a woman in this day and age. It's easy to forget the sacrifices people made for us to gain our freedoms and equality.

This videos remind me of a post I wrote in June on my other blog, www.savingwithselena.blogspot.com about 

Sheryl Sandberg's TED Talks speech: Why we have too few women leaders. 

We have come so far, but there is still a further distance we can go to promote equality.

WINNER: September 2013 Artist Showdown: Resto Vs. Corens

 The views and comments are tallied and the vote is in! We have a winner! 

I'm very excited to reveal the first Kindred Closets Artist Showdown winner! Before we delve into passing out imaginary trophies, I'd like to dive in to show a little bit more of the talent represented in this contest. Both of these artists are immensely talented and it was a fair duel, yet one artist came out on top in terms of "votes". Although this is a contest, the true purpose is to enable introductions to artists who may as of yet be unknown to my readers.

I mentioned in a previous post that Anthony Resto insists art lovers like to see process images and quick sketches (see one of mine here), so I've asked both Resto and Corens to submit some process images of their work.

The below process photos are of Anthony Resto's works:

The below process photos are of Greta Coren's works:

Thanks to both artists for sharing your step by step imagery!

Drumroll, please...

And now without further ado, the winner is......

 Greta Corens!

Congratulations Greta, our September 2013 Artist Showdown Winner!

Please be sure to check out both artists separate posts and visit their websites for a larger view of their portfolios.

Tween Lifestyle Inspiration: You Can Never Be Overdressed Or Overeducated

Beforenightfalls1313 did a great job capturing the essence of the next generation of tween girls. There's a retro feel to these images with a hint of pop culture - the Barbie with a Gaga hair bow, a girlie-fied Star Wars Storm Troopers, and the cotton candy hair. It has a sort of Japanese kawaii (cute) feeling with the oragami, bubbles, ice cream cone, doughnuts, and girl-with-a-kitten sketch. This age group is spunky and in that transitional period between childhood and their teenage years. Pink, Marigold, robins egg blue and chintzy floral prints dominate in this trend-right Polyvore board.
