Pope’s team are at the top of their game when it comes to getting the job done for their clients, but it becomes apparent that these “gladiators in suits,” who specialize in fixing the lives of other people, have trouble fixing those closest at hand -- their own. The series is created by Shonda Rhimes (Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice). Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers (Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice) and Mark Wilding are executive producers.

The Canadian singer-songwriter sisters are known for their infectious tunes but are also widely followed for their distinctive looks. Filming from their trailer at New York’s Pier 26 in the midst of a popular tour with fellow alt-pop band, fun. they showcase a wardrobe of eclectic, ‘90s –tinged apparel for a video that’s full of street style inspiration.

The guitar-toting duo’s Closet Confessions episode launching on Bluefly’s website September 16, shows an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at what makes the musicians’ outfits sing on stage. “We have this whole thing: The photo will last forever, but the discomfort will last only as long as the set,” says Sara about her ensembles that include leather jackets in the heat of summer. The resulting vibe is impossibly cool, downtown style with an androgynous bent—a look that’s quickly gaining popularity both in the streets and on the runways.

“A lot of brands are tailoring their clothes to look a little more gender neutral,” Tegan enthuses. “When skinny jeans started happening [we were] stoked. High-waisted pants? Into it.” Their favorites from their collective closet include printed leggings to wear with leather jackets and oversized tees, chunky Dr. Martens and acid wash denim that harken to the ‘90s, and Miu Miu studded lime green sneakers—all components for the perfect rocker-chic closet. Luckily for everyone’s inner rocker, Tegan and Sara are also taking over Bluefly’s sister site, Belle & Clive, to curate a collection of covetable items like studded clutches and printed skinnies, so that anyone can achieve their indie darling look.    

The award-winning Closet Confessions series—found at Bluefly.com/Closets—was launched by premiere online retailer Bluefly in April 2010 to give customers exclusive, insider looks into the personal wardrobes of fashion’s biggest and brightest.

Legend Amrapali Contemporary Indian Jewelry

With bold looks in both 18k gold and silver, celebrities at every age, from 20s to almost 70s, are clamoring to wear Legend Amrapali.  This new contemporary fine jewelry line is modern and fresh, drawing inspiration from Eastern mythology and captivating women with the meaningful symbolism behind the Indian inspired designs.  The line is extremely robust including fashion-forward modern collections, as well as more classic, heritage pieces.  

Legend Amrapali will finally go LIVE with its new E-commerce platform, Legendamrapali.com, its first direct to consumer experience for North America.  The site will serve as the online introduction of Amrapali's new contemporary fine jewelry brand, Legend Amrapali, which recently debuted this past fall, in-store, at Dover Street Market New York.  Handcrafted in Jaipur and inspired by the rich culture and heritage of India, Legend Amrapali breathes new life into centuries-old Indian jewelry-making traditions and infuses a contemporary twist by delicately combining the mystery of India's traditions with modern design.   

The new E-commerce platform will be the first opportunity for consumers to enjoy a much broader assortment of Legend Amrapali.  From breathtaking 18k yellow gold statement pieces to big and bold pieces in sterling silver, the collection is chic and modern for everyday easy elegance.  Petite stackable silhouettes and diamond solitaire pieces set in a traditional stone setting technique called Kundan capture a more traditional Indian look and feel. Believed to have originated in India, Kundan is considered to be one of the world's oldest methods of setting gemstones, and the Kundan Vintage Diamond Collection has already become a favorite of celebrities and retailers alike with pieces that start at $650.

Jewelry from India has influence around the globe

Legend Amrapali's Indian influence can be seen throughout the new site with its powerful, visceral campaign imagery of an ethereal beauty embracing the grace, spirituality and complexity of emotion expressed through dance, of which the Legendary Indian courtesan, Amrapali, was known.  Bold hero pieces featured on raw surfaces symbolize the harmonious blending of rich history and tradition with new, modern ways.  Prominent references to the Lotus, revered as the flower of India, can be seen throughout the site and various collections, as well as immortalized in the Legend Amrapali logo.   

Taylor Hill

ABOUT AMRAPALI JEWELS:  Amrapali Jewels is a global, luxury jewelry brand based in Jaipur, India.  Founded in 1978 by Rajiv Arora and Rajesh Ajmera, two friends inspired by their deep reverence for India's tribal jewelry and artifacts.  They opened their first shop in Jaipur, and named it Amrapali, after a Legendary Indian courtesan who was famed to be the most beautiful woman in the world. Four decades later, Amrapali has 38 locations throughout India; and in London, a flagship store in Knightsbridge as well as shop-in-shops at both Harrods and Selfridges. Today, Amrapali's future remains with the family, as Rajiv's son Tarang Arora and his wife Akanksha Arora are Co-CEO and Creative Directors.  It is one of India's most prolific jewelers and its influence is increasingly sweeping the West, with a growing presence in the United States.  Their tradition of blending honored heritage with modern influence continues with the launch of Legend Amrapali.
