Iconic Indeed
July 22, 2010
The new fall J.Crew catalog is out and these images from the “Simply Iconic” spread made my heart flutter. I just love all those whites with tiny pops of red, khaki, tortoise, and plaid. Now, whether to be daring and wear red nails in the wedding on Sunday….?

I love the red nails! also, am a big fan of this spread– I’m so pale.. this is fantastic!
-
These are gorgeous!
P.S. I think red nails are timeless. Clear and red are the two nail colors that absolutely do not go out of style. (But go for a nice bluey red instead of an orangey one.)

I know, it’s so hard to know what to do! On one hand, one wants to everything to be perfect on a classic level so that the wedding photos age as gracefully as the bride, but on the other hand, the moment is important and the bride should feel like the most beautiful woman in the room.
So, don’t sweat it–either way they’ll look great. After all, he’s in love, you’re in love, and that’s what it’s all about!

Thank you everyone for the varnish advice! And Fallon I feel you on the pale front darling, thankfully it’s becoming chic : )

Go red please! Short and dark is Tres chic and way more lovely than the french manicure. I do not know why brides do acrylic french tips–that look just screams cheap stripper!

These styles are so charming. The messy meet smart look is so tempting. And those red nails add that pop of daring that really makes you want to hang out with this girl.

Yes! Red nails – so long as the bride doesn’t mind. I know some brides are very picky about those things. Eek – I want one of everything from JCrew’s pics!
