Earlier I posted behind-the-scenes photos and a teaser video from my American Living for JCPenney "Made For" Campaign by Style Coalition, and now I'm happy to share the final product!

For my "Made For" moment I chose shopping at the farmer's market, something I love to do on the weekends in the summer. I wore American Living for JCPenney linen cargos with a white tee, red espadrilles and straw fedora. Classic, comfortable and cute!

The Look for Less: Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Western Buckle Wedge


These Western Buckle Wedges by Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony originally sold for $780 at La Garconne. And sell they did…




Here we see Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester wearing her pair with a plaid romper, followed by Chloe Sevigny (the designer herself) wearing her wedges with a nude body-con dress, and finally model Chanel Iman rocking her shoes with skinny jeans and a blazer. Edgy and eye-catching yet surprisingly versatile, too.


Get the look for less courtesy of Dollhouse, whose multi buckle peep toe wedges are $49.95 at DSW.com. Click the image above for more info.
