Emma Pillsbury Style - Anthropalooza

I'm revamping the way Paloozas are written here. Rather than posting a list of Emma-worthy items from a particular store, I thought I'd step it up a bit, and style the pieces the way Emma (or you!) could wear them.

I'm a tad obsessed with the Kensington Gardens Blouse from Anthropologie right now.


It's a great white blouse for getting Emma Pillsbury's style. The rounded tab collar looks great under a cardigan or pullover sweater, but the sleeve pleats and length make the blouse perfect to wear on its own. I've styled the Kensington Gardens Blouse three ways with my current favorite Emma-worthy Anthro pieces.

Cables and Flowers

Kensington Gardens Blouse - $88
Gemini Cardigan - $88
Peppering Skirt - $128
Curl Stacked Heels - $168
Pave Posts - $24 and Quavered Loop Necklace - $38

Two Skirts One Shirt

Kensington Gardens Blouse - $88
Tile Quilted Mini - $98
Adrienne Heels - $90
Spinning Globes Satchel - $758 (we know Emma can afford it)
Quite a Spectacle Necklace - $498 (she can afford this too)
Red White Blue and Ducks

Kensington Gardens Blouse - $88
Windswept Cardigan - $128
Textured Ponte Skirt - $118
Leather Ribbon Satchel - $148
Ducks in a Row Bracelet - $62 (link goes to ShopBop - it's $6 cheaper there!)

Which outfit do you think Emma should wear? Which one would you wear?

Emma Pillsbury Style - Faux Fur Collar Coats On A Budget

WWEPWers have spoken, and the requests for Emma Pillsbury style on a budget have come through loud and clear! Seems Emma's taste has gotten much more expensive over the last two seasons (she must have earned some serious bonus pay while sponsoring the school musical). I'll be on the lookout for budget versions of Emma's clothing to share with you after each episode. Thanks so much to everyone who shared their feedback!

If you loved Emma's Kate Spade Faux Fur Cherie Coat ($477)...



you might like these faux fur-trimmed coats, on a budget:


Steve Madden Trench with Faux Fur Collar - $89.99


DKNYC Faux Fur Collar Coat - $134.99


ASOS Faux Fur Trim Coat - $121


American Rag Military Faux Fur Coat - $119


Forever 21 Faux Fur Trimmed Toggle Coat - $27.50

And for my friends in the UK, I am in love with this coat from Miss Selfridge!


Miss Selfridge Twill Faux Fur Collar Coat - £85

And how about a huge vintage Christmas tree brooch to pin to your pretty coat? I love these:


Vintage Designer Signed Christmas Tree Brooch - $32 (Heritage Heirlooms)
Vintage Huge Christmas Tree Pin - $11.50 (Delectably Diva - this is my favorite of the three brooches and this Etsy shop has many more Christmas tree brooches at great prices!)
Vintage Huge Christmas Tree Brooch - $75 (Vintage Sparkles - this is a splurge piece, but it's absolutely stunning. There's another gorgeous sparkly Christmas tree brooch in this Etsy shop that has me drooling. Beautiful pieces, here.)

Emma's look certainly can be achieved for less!

Extra credit: In your own words, explain how the following picture matches these lyrics:

There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dreaded fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank god it's them instead of you

You'll never get that extra credit, huh?

Emma Pillsbury Fashion ID - Hold on to Sixteen

Where's my "That Was Easy" button? I need to press it.



In tonight's episode of Glee, "Hold on to Sixteen," Emma Pillsbury pairs her Kate Spade Metallic Josie Dress with the Kate Spade Elizabeth Cardigan.

Kate Spade Elizabeth Cardigan - no longer available


Hey, WWEPWers. Tell me something. With so much Kate Spade clothing coming out the wazoo lately, I'm going to admit I'm getting a bit bored with Emma's wardrobe. (But not with WWEPW.) Don't get me wrong. I love me some Kate Spade clothing. But I find myself longing for the days when Emma's wardrobe wasn't dominated by one single brand. Do you feel the same?

Although I haven't had much time for posting lately, I don't want this blog to become simply a bunch of IDs from the show. I've always loved coming up with new ideas for WWEPW, and I want you to know that after next week, when my real-life workload will start to slow down, I'll be posting some fun new features that have been swimming around in my head, but I haven't had the time to make them a reality. And, WWEPW will going back to its roots - as a style blog to help you find more clothes which would make Emma herself envious of your closet.

But I want to hear from you, too. What features would YOU like to see on WWEPW? Leave a comment here or drop me a line at emmapillsbury at gmail dot com. And thanks for sticking with WWEPW, even when I post at a snail's pace. You guys are the best.

xoxo
