Monday Inspiration

Glancing Girl here ...

Hello, my dears.

We're still cranking away at the new site.

Thanks for being patient.

In the meantime {and to help get your week started off in style},

I have two eye candy/reading suggestions.

Rue and Matchbook Magazines.

I looooove the phenomenon of online magazines.

Rue:

And Matchbook:

Enjoy!

J.Crew's spring collection rocks my socks off.

Have a lovely weekend, my dears.

Street Style

And, finally, to wrap up an inspired ensemble Friday, there's this:

I think the non-skinny denim element is super refreshing.

And I just want to take a nap in that lovely shawl.
It's not often you find a piece that's as comfortable to wear as it is chic.

When you find it, acquire it. You'll never regret it.

Crushing On ...

I have a mah.jor crush on this whole ensemble.

It's utter perfection ...

There's not a thing about it that I would change, and it makes me want a pair of snowy leopard boots right this very minute.

Inspired By ...

Several of the girls in the shop have been wearing their tops belted lately, just like this:

... tied off to the side.

I think it's genius.

Those over-the-knee boots are stunning, no?

A Thought

Glancing Girl here ...

I wonder if it's possible for us to take a little refuge in this chilly weather by trying to manifest this:

An invincible summer ... doesn't that sound lovely?

{Pick of the Week}

Glancing Girl here ...

Last night, the Glancing Girls all wore a poppy colored lip to our launch party.

A bright lip is sooo right this spring.

And this is the only one you'll need:

A New Look

Glancing Girl here ...

You may remember that a few months ago, I hinted the shops were undergoing a major change.

Well, we're finally near the end of our metamorphosis and we're ready to begin unveiling our new look.

As we transition from this blog to a full-fledged website, my presence here may be sporadic until we get all the kinks worked out.

In the meantime, I hope you'll visit our shops and see the new look for yourself.
Especially tomorrow.

We're throwing a launch party from 4pm - 7pm on Wednesday, January 26th at both locations.

We'll be having major sales, drawings, free gifts, hair & makeup consultants available, sweet & savory treats, and our signature cocktail, 'The Honeysuckle' {in honor of the it color of 2011}.

This is a party you don't want to miss.

And welcome to the new look of Second Glance ... Fashion Recycling Since 1984.

Inspired By ...

Glancing Girl here ...

I'm loving Anthropologie's spring aesthetic.

I've recently decided print blouses will be an important part of my spring and summer wardrobe, so I'm thrilled they're a staple in many Anthro ensembles.

And I was sooo not ready to give up sequins ...

Huzzah for Anthropologie.

Focus

Glancing Girl here ...

Aren't her eyes stunning?

I've often ignored the concept of focusing on only one feature

...

I like dramatic eyes and strong lips, but this season, I've decided to play with a very natural lip with all the drama in the eyes.

Matching

How cute are these images of Famke Janssen and her sweet pooch?

Such a stylish pair ...

Crushing On ...

Glancing Girl here ...

I have a mah.jor crush on these wood + crystal rings from Nga Waiata.

Natural materials are always a huge part of spring and summer trending.

And I, for one, love the transition from metals and precious gems to the more natural look of artisan jewelry like Nga Waiata's pieces.

I really, really want this feather headband/crown thing.

I mean, really, it is beyond.

City Guide

Glancing Girl here ...

Caroline of i am a greedy girl has been posting a series of ensembles based around cities a girl could spend a lovely getaway weekend in.

This is her set inspired by Portland ...

I think it's pretty spot on, don't you?

Happy Weekend

Happy Weekend, loves!

Crushing On ...

Glancing Girl here ...

Yesterday, I spent some time in Portland.

While I was there, I stopped in my favorite fashion haunt to check out the spring arrivals, and stumbled upon this.

It's amazingly sweet, as are all of Julia Denos' illustrations.

More, here.

A Bit of Light

Glancing Girl here ...

Recently, I've been aching for a little sun.

So, just in case you have, too:

Classic

Glancing Girl here ...

I am fairly persuaded black & white stripes will never go out of style.

There's something so iconic about them.

And something sooo French ... no?
