But, a night of being comfy and enjoying a bowl of popcorn on the couch did allow me to realize one thing, you really can find fashion inspiration anywhere. And, if the Grey Ant line of fashion forward high waist jeans was inspired by Jamie Lee Curtis's character in Halloween, then why not look for style inspiration in our favorite scary movies?<br /><br /><br />Movie 1: Nightmare on Elm Street. 1984<br />Not only does the first Nightmare on Elm street feature a young Johnny Depp, but it also features classic preppy looks. Think oxford shirts, sweater vests, chinos, and natural makeup palettes.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.moviepublicity.com/image_assets/noes_006.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 225px;" src="http://www.moviepublicity.com/image_assets/noes_006.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.ohjohnny.net/nightmare/nightmare013.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 517px; height: 454px;" src="http://www.ohjohnny.net/nightmare/nightmare013.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Movie 2: Rosemary's Baby 1968<br />A classic. Especially when talking about hair. Who can forget that great Vidal Sassoon cut?<br />The movie also features great mod styles. Think clunky shoes and babydoll dresses.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMjE4MzU4NjM0OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwNDk2MDM2._V1._SX332_SY400_.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

Kelly wants people to see that even when you are grown you can still incorporate the little necessities-like a funny picture or an interactive outfit-that make us excited even for just a split moment.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252671959432706978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisYo6JYn1QzqGNVpHxQ9IAngy8g6d8qP9eU7S5iCY4_D-VDcMszKHaIgCDgLzhpAE5134ukE3-5mBHBdBYZBl9CmMfHtUDJ-XHqMi4ApvOIDf7kN85TJv3w2ugZBgdJxiGAqIbqIgWDb04/s320/m_a389410598922b34717cd3877a298ba7.jpg" border="0" />With bennykelly, Kelly combines simple classic apparel design, for both men women, with post abstract graffiti expressionalism (i.e. stencils and screens of a limited run). Every garment created is piece dyed and handmade, giving each a truly unique one-of-a-kind look. Kelly has also pushed to incorporate the overall guide of sustainability when producing our garments. This is one of the reason bennykelly runs such a limited series of most designs, the limitation of recycled or reused supplies.<br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252671336505821410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfaAchZWFyBDkQyhDryqMiNCgk8tb3bt69ZXitgISbXC1CH4OxcvxIqHluZ57iIHsKerYF13GJaocqlkcPBwRHwqn8M5mtnRKuF0dgrj2NBegCu8yWHyTJpuR30pn2GCUpohM-D3kRnTtW/s320/IMG_0025.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div>Recently bennykelly has launched an <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5661212&section_id=5588980">infant toddler line</a> to bring friends child-friendly designs that are not only sustainable, but avoid the cutesy-wutesy designs found at most children's boutiques. </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252671335284936610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP1vwZgjV9uRuszU-JKryHE6rMiQqJ5KqRDqVOtl8r3ri8lBeM17pI8fVEb_E6X31K-1buGXQNky3e_kw3bJlKLDbk-uu3GedIgAyoU0mSBgmNoxhIVFthJiXwNgsa8ReUGlCS2ZYWrl-K/s320/IMG_0016.JPG" border="0" /><strong>Stay tuned tomorrow for a sneak peak at bennykelly's Fall/Winter line, which will premiere at the "Mineral" fashion show at <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=73270585&MyToken=a0b1d4af-d219-46b0-bb86-922875215c69">The Pretty Penny</a> on October 25th.</strong></div>Grace and Suzzannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06748129103637352381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2496064609792271906.post-23977830917319121982008-10-02T09:00:00.000-07:002008-10-02T09:00:01.107-07:00Depression Sale at bennykelly<a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=309316213&MyToken=56da25a0-8e42-405c-a49d-b830b313de15">Bennykelly</a>, one of our favorite green East Bay designers, is having a fall "Depression Sale" in their <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5661212">Etsy shop</a>. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252304881835803282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsF_QznlnqkCHRaAE33TwHscJiNPA_P-5VeAndFf_CATTSl3HkyUXVvQCwKnu0D2aX4xpciNIm5ehwCZM1hwulp-9kfZtJxi5vGZMb36JpS-U-cK_yUAzapiwoTbgByzsRxxyhyphenhyphenUB2R6Vy/s320/il_430xN_27591183.jpg" border="0" />Head on over and buy a lovely renewed piece with a funky bennykelly twist.<br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252304882046935442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIhPsHM_hzACHqQRNSlvCuMOHv0UB1YXb7iRQajt1y4HTYmoVMYasYPszhH1axymwOE4aKB9y2vwODvT9t84MyijhWLKzLN3-3t5FBqHGSZc6PjR8UL4t2MMOi1gULQrx1UW0mVj1Dg_iv/s320/il_430xN_27595844.jpg" border="0" />Bennykelly is also one of the designers that will be featured in the <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=73270585&MyToken=56da25a0-8e42-405c-a49d-b830b313de15">Pretty Penny</a> Fashion Show on October 25th.
