Street Style // Yet Another Style Scout

today's stylista has a blog of her own
and i've been a follower since long before we met in person

she's a class act, with great taste
and could not be more delightful in real life
(i love it when that happens)

p.s. you can't quite tell from the photos, but she's wearing sassy pants. :)

Style & Pepper

i've got exciting news, folks - and i'll cut right to the chase! i'd like to announce the launch of my newest project, style & pepper!



i've been so blessed by all of the wonderful people that i have met through the concrete catwalk, and some of my favorite new friends have fabulously become wardrobe and personal styling clients as well... what fun!

much of my spare time over the past few months has been spent hard at work on this new little endeavor of mine, and i am so pleased to officially introduce it to you, my dear readers.

instead of trying to explain it all here, i'll encourage you to hop over to the website (www.style-and-pepper.com) for a full explanation. i'll still be posting here at tcc as usual, so don't go anywhere, and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

XOXO - jessie

Street Style // Be Bold

ames knows how to throw a party
and clearly, she knows has to wear
and accessorize a bold vintage dress, too.

(i'm LOVing those jewels AND the bold shoulder.)

Street Style // she's glowing

sweet gigi looks fab
no matter what she wears
but i thought she looked especially glow-y
the other night...
(possibly because she's preggers with her 2nd little muffin,
but most likely because she's just lovely and glow-y in general!)

Street Style // Like Mother, Like Daughter

hey! i have this dress!

(and happened to be wearing it when i shot this photo)

both have a handy knack for style:
daughter is an amazing artist with adorable illustrations
and mother is a designer AND a rockstar.

loved seeing the way michel had styled her lace dress,
and couldn't resist snapping some shots
of she and her adorable mom!

(ya. i know. they look more like sisters!)

i stumbled across the top while running around town last week.

the best part was that it only cost 75 cents!
