REBECCA TAYLOR
Dressed to kill, and smelling spectacular after a tour of the Sephora Sensorium, Joonbug headed over to Kiss & Fly for the Junior Society of Ballet Hispanico's fundraising event Dance Into Fashion. Stepping into the world of fantasy yet again as the doors to Kiss & Fly opened to reveal the decadent red soaked entrance. The thick red curtains spread open to welcome all the donors, dancers, and partygoers as we ventured into the dark meadow-like lounge.

Zagat Presents: Chef Akira Back’s Meal of Memories
Rebecca Taylor, known for her feminine, flowy fabrics put a twist on her S/S 2012 collection with less ruffle and more shine and texture. There were also a lot of pieces and layering. She even threw in a cropped raincoat for dealing with those spring showers we all hate love dealing with. She mostly moved away from the ultra trendy color-blocking and went for more neutral tones and glimmer. With full embellished pants, shiny full-length dresses and sequined tanks, her collection will appeal to any woman who loves ultra feminine style.
Well folks, here it goes - another boy/girl pair up, another case of matching plaids, songs about love, relationship ambiguity. I didn’t want to give Slow Club a chance, I was adamant that there was nothing new to learn there. Yet despite my unreasonable doubts, I recently listened to the music from duo Rebecca Taylor and Charles Watson of Sheffield, England. Their debut album, Yeah So, lent further proof to something I had already proved to myself by thinking that I knew how I'd feel about something before giving it a chance. The message, in short: You’re wrong about yourself.
The Beautiful Life, an up and coming CW show, is already making fashion waves. The show stars Mischa Barton, Sara Paxton and newcomer Ashley Madekwe who is best known for her role as the client stealing call girl Bambi on Showtime’s Secret Diary of a Call Girl.

This show is said to be the preset for fashion lovers across America; although the pilot has yet to be be seen, the buzz surrounding the show is tremendous, not only because of it's wild stars, but also because of the fashion. Costume designer Tom Broecker made sure that he used the most fashion forward designers when dressing the actors. Pieces from the Phillip Lim, Rebecca Taylor, Roberto Cavalli, Balmain and Zac Posen (just to name a few) collections are being used to style the character as true New York fashion models. Is Tom Broecker the new Patrica Field? Will he make The Beauiful Life a cult classic in the fashion industry? We will have to just wait and see, The Beautiful Life premieres Wednesday, September 16th. Will you be watching? - I will.
