Emma Pillsbury in PostSecret

One of today's secrets on PostSecret:



To the person who wrote this postcard: Sharing your secret was a courageous step. I wish you peace. :)

A few fun discoveries from my internet surfing:

Glee's costume designer, the incomparable Lou Eyrich, shares some great behind-the-scenes tidbits with PopWatch, including:

-Regionals dresses - by Jenny Yoo (the same brand of the bridesmaids' dresses from Furt), were selected for their "youthful, pretty, and soft" characteristics. Embellished with a black sash and deconstructed BCBG necklaces, the dresses were paired with black leggings for comfort. The black combat boots? A fashion decision made by Ryan Murphy, to make the look a bit more Balmain.

-Warblers uniforms - not changing.

-Rachel's green "70s style hostess dress" from Blame It On The Alcohol - rented from a costume house (perhaps the same one where Lou told me she got the dresses from Afternoon Delight).

-Dianna, Naya, and Heather - happy to be out of the Cheerios' uniforms, but surprised by the number of fittings required to dress in "real" clothes.

If you're a fan of Jayma Mays' personal style, you'll love this new blog:

Jayma's Closet

The bloggers source all of Jayma's outfits, from personal appearances to photo shoots, with tons of eBay finds and looks-for-less.

They know what they're doing, too - I searched for this green top Jayma wore on one of the late night talk shows (I can't remember which one!), and couldn't locate it. They've got the entire outfit IDed!

I follow them on Tumblr, and through my RSS reader so I can keep up with Jayma's looks - past, present, and future.


I may have mentioned this before, but the Anthropologie on TV feature over at Goldenmeans is one of my favorite weekly reads. She finds Anthro pieces from every show imaginable - Glee, Community, Greek, even HGTV's Secrets from a Stylist.

I subscribe to her blog in a reader, but you can also access all of her Anthro on TV posts by clicking through the Fashion on TV tag on the posts. Subscribing is the best, though, because her OOTD photos (and the outfits themselves) are so dreamy, you won't want to miss a single post.

I'm always looking for new blogs and finds online, so if you have a suggestion for a future installment of Cardi Clips, be sure to drop me a line at emmapillsbury at gmail dot com. I'd love to hear from you!

~ Kathleen Frances at Grosgrain was inspired by the Kate Spade bee cardigan and created her own version of it, which is amazing! You've got to check out her Reporter Frock giveaway, too - the neckline reminds me of Emma's collar under the Pick A Bunch cardi.

~ How about a handmade version of the Marc Jacobs Brodie dress? Find it at MerKnits!

~ When I'm not watching Glee or my other favorite primetime shows, HGTV is almost always playing on our TV. I'm a big fan of the show Design Star, and was thrilled when Emily Henderson walked away with the grand prize last season. Her first client for her first show? Ian Brennan. From Emily's blog:

"Oh, and my 'client' (and friend) for the special is the co-creator of Glee, Ian Brennan, so if you like Glee you best be spreading the word about that. He's hilarious and awesome. And single, for all the ladies out there. Just sayin'."

More pictures from this episode on HGTV.com.

And yes, Emily's wearing the Blooming Lattice Cardi from Anthropologie! Channeling a little Quinn Fabray for Ian's home makeover...

~ The girls at Scholar Style Guide have a unique approach to fashion: "We've created this blog to participate in conversations about the cultural construction of fashion, the semiotics of clothing, and how we can take these theoretical approaches to thinking about clothing and apply them to our daily dressing choices." Check out their Emma Pillsbury-inspired post!

~ I'm way behind on some of these links, but Toni at Little Suitcase has combed Etsy for some great Emma-ish finds!

~ Heather created a super fun WWEPW-inspired Wordle! (You can tell this was right on the heels of our beach-themed Fashion Challenge!)

~ Looking for some great Emma-inspired holiday gifts? How about a set of "The Wisdom of Emma Pillsbury" notecards?

~ Have you been following The Sisterhood of the Baking Shoes? If Kate Spade shoes aren't in your budget, Kate from She Hearts Art has a DIY tutorial to make your own!

Cardi Clips

I've been collecting a list of things to share on WWEPW, but I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to post them. Today I decided to start yet another feature on the blog called Cardi Clips. I'll be sharing links and stories with you that I've come across that made me sit up and pay attention. So here we go!

First up is Gertie's New Blog for Better Sewing. Ever since I discovered Emma's wardrobe, I've become obsessed with the notion of learning to sew. I found Gertie's blog, which was instant inspiration. Gertie is amazing. Inspired by a vintage copy of Vogue's New Book for Better Sewing, Gertie tackles this book one project at a time. She's been blogging recently about recreating Emma's locker-room look from Vitamin D, and these are MUST-READ posts. The most recent one is absolutely my favorite. Check them out!

1. Emma Pillsbury, Fashion Icon
2. Emma Pillsbury Goes Fabric Shopping
3. Emma Pillsbury: Queen of the Retro Mash-Up?

I absolutely adore this woman for her skills, her humor, and her style.


Today, photos of Jayma Mays from the Women in Film Pre-Oscar Party appeared:

I'm going to be honest. I haven't loved all of Jayma's dress choices for some of her recent public appearances. It seems that some of her dresses have been rather ill-fitting, but this one fits her perfectly. I'd love to see it as a strapless, but I think it works with the sheer black tank neckline, as well.

Jayma never strikes out with her shoes, though. These are fabulous little strappy heels.

For lots more pictures of this event, including Jayma's co-star and BFF Jessalyn Gilsig (whose hair looks spectacular, I might add), and a close-up look at Jayma's shoes, visit my friend Rachel's post at GleeHab:

Finally, my friend Erin posted this news on her site, Glee Dork:

A Gleeful Clothing Line?

Ok, I'm usually a real Pollyanna when it comes to all things Glee, but my response to this is as follows: Really? REALLY? A Glee clothing line? Couldn't we just go to Forever 21 or Hot Topic or J.Crew or Anthropologie or Urban Outfitters or Abercrombie (get my point?) if we wanted to style ourselves after Glee? It seems a weird form of merchandising. I'd buy a Kurt Hummel bobblehead in a minute, or a Sue Sylvester talking keychain, but I can go pretty much anywhere and buy a hoodie. On a scale of 0 to 5, this idea gets zero squirts of antibacterial hand gel.


And there we have it! Our first installment of Cardi Clips! If you come across anything that you think might fit here in your travels around the web, please feel free to send them to me at emmapillsbury (at) gmail (dot) com! I love hearing your suggestions, ideas and findings!
