pixie sticks

I love that my corporate dress code allows jeans, but my own fashion etiquette insists on variety. J.Crew Pixie pants are a genius option to switch in when your blues need a break. They look tailored and clean, but are as comfortable as leggings – and thick enough to prevent any see-through Lululemon situations. That combination is a recipe for versatility, so don’t hesitate to work ‘em whether picking up groceries or typing up spreadsheets. Wherever you are, they'll make you feel smart and sleek. And no one embodies that description better than Lena Dunham, whose first Vogue cover is all over the Internet today. The accompanying article is long, but worth every word. Love the peek inside a typical Girls take, love Dunham’s sense of self and unsnobbish attitude (“she prefers bulky necklaces, ‘like a kindergarten art teacher’”), love that Zac Posen was her babysitter and hand-made her high school graduation dress. This girl just keeps getting cooler.
