individuals-it don't matter if its black n white


lady gaga and lady badu

another double black and white edition. once again, i am devoting a post to creative individuals, to queens who don't give a damn. these are the types of women i admire. i get very tired of the cookie cutter image celebrities run to in order to be famous. you can predict what the starlets will do long before they do it. i am much more interested in someone who takes chances and listens to their own heart. it is so heartbreaking to observe teenage girls fighting for mediocrity, following the pack and dying to fit in. if only the knew...these fascinating females already do.

to the beat of her own drummer

little miss ki-ki! kirsten dunst is such an inspiration. its not that i necessarily agree with all her choices. there are times that i definitely don't. however, i do like that she does her own thing regardless of whats "fashionable and trendy." kirsten takes chances that are often quirky but original. then there are days when she doesn't seem to care at all. there is a refreshing attitude i can certainly admire.

down came the rain

hello passionista (o)s! well, i don't know about your neighborhood, but here in the nyc it is raining something fierce. it has been for awhile and apparently it will continue to do so. in the spirit of the pre-spring showers, i thought i would share an image reminiscent of the wet mood. here is the splendid amanda seyfried (sp?) from esquire magazine. enjoy the rest of your weekend, my pretties, no matter what the weather.

wishing u the best, jenna pearle*

caught up in the rapture-dirty 'debbie' harry




"Call me anytime......"
joan jett and debbie harry 1978

















love this natural pic of debbie, she could be a teacher here...











i know that i'm suppose to be ga-ga (pun intended, sorry) over joan jett with the runaway movie coming out and all. and i do love joan and her bad girl steez...just as much as she loves rock n roll. however, i can't help but love debbie harry more. you may have guessed that from the constant posts with ms. harry as the subject. her style was tough but feminine. her face was america's next top model worthy (i know you'd sacrifice your pinky toe for those cheekbones and pouty mouth). while harry was queen of the punk era, she was not afraid to branch out to lesser known genres like rap (at the time).

with the new movie coming out soon (or maybe it came out yesterday?), i am sure to devote a post to those rocking runaways. today, i'm pleased to inform you, is dedicated to THE blondie, debby harry! bow down, bitches!!!!

p.s- don't forget that debbie is a style muse for my online boutique, http://theposhbrownboutique.bigcartel.com/.  so  if you dig her style, be sure to drop buy and pick up some awesome pieces.  xoxo

fell in love with a girl- lily cole edition







































one of the most unique and refreshing young models currently out there is the gorgeous lily cole. i am intrigued and inspired everytime i come across her image on the blogs and magazines. i can't convey how lovely it is to see someone who doesn't fit the beauty norm making such an impact in the entertainment/fashion industry. what makes lily so instantly fabulous, you ask? here's my top ten list of why its completely necessary to fall for the unforgettable ms. cole






  1. fierce curly red hair



  2. a cabbage patch perfectly round head



  3. the most adorable set of freckles




  4. chubby chipmunk cheeks


  5. perfectly perky breasts



  6. limbs to live for



  7. personal style


  8. cornflower blue deer like eyes



  9. tiny pouty mouth



  10. versatility



and this is strictly based on her outer appearance. im sure we shall be just as blown away with her inner beauty and intelligence.

a beautiful busy bey




sometimes i forget how stunning (and hardworking and talented and...ect) mrs. beyonce knowles truly is. i critique and dismiss her (and quite frankly, grow tired of seeing her). but then i come across a pic or concert like this and i remember.


she's a diva, undoubtedly! xoxo jenna pearle*

sci-fi


here is the singer, sy. now quite honestly, i don't know any of her songs yet. i've been seeing her a lot lately in the blogosphere and adoring her look. what a fuzzy head of fabulous hair...and fab glasses! hope to hear from her soon.

whats not to love? xoxo jenna pearle*

jenny from the block (east siiiiiiiiiiide)







you know how i feel about gossip girl. can't wait for it to return this month (i hope). in the meantime, here are a couple of pics of taylor (aka jenny bka lil j) playing dress up. the first look is a glammed up sophisticated flapper girl. the next is another favorite look of mine, blazer with short shorts. they even incorporated a touch of plaid for that added sass appeal. in both images, the red adds an unexpected burst of excitement. good job, jenny!

lady of lexicon

this is one of my lovely she-roes, toni morrison. tar baby, sula, jazz, beloved, the bluest eye...the list goes on and on. and what is this a list of, you ask? masterpieces! classic literature with so many layers and textures even morrison herself can't explain it. i have read plenty of her novels but have quite a few left. now that i understand the complexity of her work, i feel like i need lots of spare time to devote to these pieces. and when is that going to happen? i promise to get to it soon, ms. morrison. i thank you for your contributions!
ur beloved, jenna pearle*
