We found this pretty incredible: A 34 foot tower made of 15,000 Abraham Lincoln books. The tower sits in the middle of a winding staircase in the Ford’s Theatre Center for Education & Leadership in Washington DC. It is said to symbolize that “the last word about this great man will never be written.” Article & photos found through Colossal Art & Design
It’s finally here! Pretty Penny! And we couldn’t be more excited.
Pretty Penny speaks to the desire of every heartbreakingly stylish girl to raid her guy’s closet and add some of that boyish charm to her wardrobe. Our muse is the ingénue girlfriend of the Penny Stock man… well-traveled, book smart, musical and always nostalgic for the classics. She’s a natural beauty and when she smiles or laughs, she lights up the room… never taking herself too seriously.
The collection is a reflection of her personality – iconic styles, superior quality and accessible price points. It’s not about how much you pay for something, it’s about the unexpected way you put things together – smart stripes with silly sophisticated prints.
Coming to stores this month, you will be able to shop Pretty Penny’s Spring collection at American Rag, Union Made, Blackbird, Urban Outfitters, Revolve, and Need Supply Co. to name a few… Stay tuned!

We have been busy busy in the start of this new year. One of our feats: shooting our Fall 12 Lookbook. We are especially excited about this one and are so grateful to have had some assistance from Michael’s brilliant father, Norm, who really helped with getting the lighting and set up JUST RIGHT!
We gotta say… it was pretty cool to be just sitting there Saturday night watching SNL and all of the sudden seeing Daniel Radcliffe come out in our favorite tee from our Fall 11 Collection! [The Penny Crew, Landscape] Check it out
