BICOASTAL STRIPES

Posted Nov 29 2010 @ 01:40 PM

From coast to coast, Ashlee Simpson Wentz loves her stripes. She was first spotted running errands with her boys on November 23 in NYC, and after spending Thanksgiving Day in the Big Apple with her parents, big sis Jessica and her new fiancé Eric Johnson, Ash and the fam headed back to LA for a trip to the park with Bronx on November 26. Nothing works off the Turkey Day carbs better than chasing a toddler around the playground! Ash started both looks with the striped top of her choice (try Splendid's Twisted Stripe Vee Sweater in Grey for cooler temps and JET by John Eshaya's V Neck Stripe Tank in Black for the west coast), first layered over denim cut-offs and black tights, and then over black jeggings for the park (like Hudson Jeans' Collin Signature Skinny in Cheshire). In her first look Ashlee chose black lace up brogues, then switched to comfy ballet flats (try Farylrobin's Gladys Mary Jane Flat in Black, sort of a cross between the two). Ashlee stayed warm in LA with a black and white checkered coat topping the look (have some fun with Desigual's Retro Coat in Black), carrying a black patent ruched tote (like Danielle Nicole's Dylan Bag in Black) and accessorizing with a Chanel black pearl necklace. Which look is your fav? While the reaction to Ashlee's new pixie cut has been mostly positive, sources at Us Weekly say her hubby isn't the biggest fan, even though he was the first to tweet a pic of the new cut with the caption "Cute hair mama!" back in October. The magazine alleges that trouble might be brewing over Ashlee's decision to cut her hair as a surprise, yet she won't give Pete the surprise he wants: another baby. Sounds twisted if you ask me! Bronx just celebrated his 2nd birthday on November 20 – do you think it's time for Ashlee to consider adding another little one to the Wentz clan?
