I had the pleasure of attending a private screening of Nice Guy Johnny, a movie about a man torn between following through with his promises and following his heart. The film premiered at the prestigious 2010 Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. The screening took place at Meet (At The Apartment), a charming meeting and gallery space. And some good food, great talent and a movie and we were good to go!

Director and screenwriter Edward Burns (Uncle Terry) and actress Kerry Bishé (Brooke) joined us to chat about the movie and answered questions from the audience. One question for Kerry was about her style, on and off the screen.
Kerry was her own stylist in Nice Guy Johnny, which gave her a great deal of freedom. When asked if her personal style was similar to that of her movie characters’, she said yes, “although Brooke’s style is a bit more sporty”. Her favorite piece that she wore in the movie was a thrifted yellow sweater, one that became more beat up and tattered along the way. But Kerry is a jeans and a t-shirt kind of girl. For this occasion, she did pick some cute pieces from Eskell. She wore a fun, flirty top, a printed skirt and pulled it out together with matching english saddle shoes and belt. Simple and effortless!
And with that said, I have a great contest for the modman & wit&whimsy readers!
