Real Estate Boner Alert: Jenna Lyons BK Brownstone for Sale

It takes a lot to get me excited about Brooklyn real estate, but if there were ever a woman to do it, it would be J.Crew creative director Jenna Lyons. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Lyons is single-handedly responsible for a complete refresh of the brand and her spectacular taste - glamorous, classic, with a slight twist - is apparent in every SINGLE room of the glorious 4 floor, 7 bedroom townhouse in Brooklyn's North Slope that's now available for sale, due to her impending divorce from artist Vincent Mazeau.

If you've got a cool $3.75 mil to spare, this would be the place to spend it, friends. Check out the full listing here, and try to contain your drool.

Fall 2010 Preview: LOFT

LOFT, long regarded as Ann Taylor's more casual little sister, has for years served a clear purpose in my wardrobe. Always office and wallet-friendly, I relied on the store for tried and true basics, but not for statement and style making pieces. But a new design team at LOFT has turned things around and this Spring, several goodies have piqued my eye and inspired me to open my wallet.

Thankfully, Fall 2010 appears to be continuing the trend! I had the privilege of previewing the collection a few weeks ago and the gorgeously merchandised line (I'd guess that LOFT's team took some styling inspiration from the amazing Jenna Lyons, creative director of J.Crew) is both fun and fabulous. In particular, I have my eye on a stunning red silk dress that was broken down with the perfect distressed brown leather belt.

For a sneak peek at what to expect in LOFT stores this Fall, take a gander through the gallery. To experience more LOFT, visit their Tumblr at live.love.LOFT.
