While this week’s weather is predicted to stay wet and rainy, boy do we have the Thursday night program for you! You may have noticed we post about J.Crew pretty often, whether it’s their delicate cardigans, perfect pants or insanely lovable accessories. The brand continues to outdo both its sartorial competitors and itself regularly with what to wear and how to wear it. We can’t get enough of this growing stylish retailer, and now, thanks to an upcoming CNBC documentary, we can really come to understand just what made this company such an untouchable success.

Tune in Thurs. May 24th at 10PM ET to watch CNBC’s “J.Crew and the Man Who Dressed America,” a look behind the scenes at this contemporary brand and the months-long process of its conception. CNBC follows Jenna Lyons, J.Crew President and Executive Creative Director, and her team of designers as they battle time and energy to refine the Fall 2012 line. Find out what goes behind making a brand unique and just how to create and market a new line of clothing.

Makeup Must-Have: POP Beauty’s Britpop Palette (thefind Guest Post)

by

Move over, Naked Palette – the British are coming! From America’s Next Top Model’s ‘British Invasion’ cycle and the world’s obsession with Downton Abbey to the never-ending influx of on-air talent from acrossthe pond, it was only a matter of time before the Brits got into our makeup stash. POP Beauty’s adorably union-jacked Brit Pop palette (available at Nordies!) contains 12 universally-flattering neutral shades, ranging from softly shimmery to sultry and smokey, and gives Urban Decay’s own natural-hued palette a run for its money. I mean… a mere $10 as opposed to the Naked Palette‘s hefty $50 price tag is a hard bargain to argue with, plus POP’s British-infused packaging is equally slim and portable, but just slightly more adorable (in my humble opinion)! Including both matte andglitter-infused shades, you don’t have to know The Parliamentary Oath in order to pledge your allegiance to these fabulously festive colors!
