Shailene Woodley rocks the crop; remembering Marilyn Monroe
Top of crops: Proving that no matter how many times designers show crop tops on the runway, the only place they truly translate is in Hollywood, Shailene Woodley (who seems to have a particular penchant for the crop) stepped out in the above Proenza Schouler look at a screening from “The Spectacular Now†Tuesday night in Los Angeles. The cropped top and skirt ensemble is from Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez’s Resort 2014 collection. The dream-catcher necklace by H.O.W.L. (Handle Only With Love) is pretty cool, too. (And, just in case you were wondering, the necklace is available at Lefthouse on Abbot Kinney in Venice.)*

Monroe memorial: The 51st anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s untimely death on Aug. 5, 1962, is being marked with a series of events organized by the Hollywood Museum beginning Friday and ending with a graveside memorial service Monday. It seems the original “Candle in the Wind†has become pop culture’s eternal flame. [All The Rage]
