Despite its cringe-worthy name, the “pussy-bow blouse” — the proper name for a shirt with a big and floppy bow at the neckline — has long been affiliated with female power-dressing.
Jon Hamm finally got his trophy (sure, Don Draper had to get sucked into a hippie cult in the process, but hey!) and Viola Davis made history as the first black woman to win the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series award, but save for those two moments, the 2015 Emmys were about as titillating as a trip to the DMV.

You know what Katy Perrry said: California girls are so hot, they’ll melt your popsicle!
Colorful, psychedelic, original prints informed by the natural landscapes of destinations across the globes, folklore and mythology, art and architecture, ancient symbolism, and mystical motifs abound in all of Mara Hoffman’s collections.
As it turns out, fashion designer Cynthia Rowley and J.Crew creative director Jenna Lyons are powerhouses in a multitude of settings — whether it’s their design studios, their corporate headquarters, a New York City runway, a boardroom, or the wide open sea.
