the friday five.



1. so many amazing pieces in the the shopbop + born free collection: 22 designers from marni, vera wang, dvf, prada and more made clothing for women and kids plus accessories and 100% of the proceeds go towards born free's mission to end mother-to-child hiv transmission at birth. / 2. remember seeing pics of the sophia webster for j.crew shoes on the runway last september? well it's finally in stores and online…but act fast; many sizes are already sold out. / 3. phillip lim's denim capsule collection is not your typical distressed, acid-washed fare: rinse denim takes on all kinds of silhouettes from this natty suit to a moto jacket to a convertible trench. / 4. i'm a bit behind on this one, but i finally picked up the latest issue of the last magazine, featuring daria by mikael jansson...her editorial and karlie kloss' are lovely and i'm a sucker for the oversized format. / 5. the first retrospective of famed african-american fashion designer patrick kelly called "runway of love" opens this weekend at my hometown philadelphia museum of art. kelly was known for bold, playful creations with a bit of 80s cheekiness. influenced by coco chanel and elsa schiaparelli, he was the first american and first black designer to be voted into the the french fashion industry association. tragically his life was cut short by aids and he passed away in 1990. the show runs through november, so check it out if you're in town.

have a fabulous weekend!
