Edie Rose by Rachel Bilson

If you haven't already heard, frequent CS fashion favorite, Rachel Bilson, is just about to debut her new collection - Edie Rose for DKNY Jeans - within the next couple of months. However, I must caveat this all by saying that the line is being categorized as "junior sportswear", which usually means "probably will not fit" and/or "inappropriate for 30-year old woman". Nonetheless, I am excited about this and hoping for the best.

Women's Wear Daily is reporting that the launch will feature "15 pieces, including a sportswear mix of button-down tops, sweaters, jackets, T-shirts, dresses and two jeans styles — a straight leg and a skinny leg, both available in a dark wash. The entire line will wholesale between $19.50 and $49.50 per piece, which is in line with the DKNY Jeans range. The color palette is made up of mostly simple black-and-white, with a pop of yellow." The collection should start showing up in Macy's, Lord & Taylor and Nordstrom's in September. We'll keep a look out and report back with first impressions once it arrives, of course.

In the meantime, here's the few preview pictures I could find. Honestly, I'm feeling pretty underwhelmed by these pictures. With the exception of the jackets, which I would like to take a closer look at, nothing else really interests me. But, again, I'm going to stay optimistic that the other pieces we're not seeing here are really exciting.
