    Noteworthy: this young Tennessean, through a program called Memphis PREP, spent his summers at Andover and Harvard before setting his sights on Columbia for undergrad. The program helps to overcome the challenge of diminished means with the recognition and nurturing of intellectual potential.

    Style  

    A couple of months ago, I headed back down to Boca Grande with Elizabeth McKay to create some images for their spring/summer collection. The youthful, luxury label boutique nestled on the Upper East Side is headed by creative director and founder Elizabeth McKay Jenkins. The collection is fun, pairing big bold prints and an inspired color palette with luxurious fabrics and classic lines. Visit elizabethmckay.com to view more of the photographs from the shoot as they drop in throughout the season.

    Is it my Spotify, or is something wrong with the playlist? Nothing appears for me.

    I agree with Angel on whites. Never been a fan of arbitrary rules. If it looks good and feels good then it fits the bill.


    Angel left a comment on 4/13/2012 at 2:23 PM:

    I do like her green nail polish. I’m ready to see girls in skirts in dress as often as possible again.

    @Legal Preppy, that rule is old and played out, I think you can wear white whenever you feel like it. But that’s just my opinion.


    Legal Preppy left a comment on 4/11/2012 at 3:40 PM:

    I love the go-to-hell green pants! In your opinion, is it too soon to wear white (pants and shoes) - some people say it’s okay after Easter, others say Memorial Day, and my sister swears you can wear them year round. What’s your opinion? xo, LP


    F.E. Castleberry left a comment on 4/10/2012 at 6:25 PM:

    @B.L. Davis—I always shoot my street style shots with a 50mm lens at around f/3.5.


    B.L. Davis left a comment on 4/10/2012 at 6:22 PM:

    @FEC:  What is your preferred lens for these shots?  I’ve found that portraits in a cityscape background can be difficult because of the extreme contrasts it presents.  Yours always come out just right, but not with such a blurred background that the landmarks are indistinguishable.

    I like EVERYTHING here.


    Caroline | Back Down South left a comment on 4/9/2012 at 7:11 PM:

    Can’t even express how weird it is to see myself on my favorite blog. So good to meet you, Fred!
