from flats to swimwear to belts, j.crew fits into every niche of my style. i swear by their matchstick jean and adore their skinny patent leather belts.
on sunday afternoons, when i was a young'n, i'd pull out my dad's large calculator and, sitting with one of my best friends (klr, do you remember this?), tick away at the keys pretending we were shopping with all the money in the world. we'd buy everything we could ever want—often in every colour—for ourselves and for our imaginary husbands. ha!
today, when the new j.crew catalogue is waiting for me in my mailbox, i still handle it with care and excitedly open the pages to discover how they've masterfully added a little glitz and a lot of glamour to classic pieces. take the blazer pictured above—a simple style yet adorned with details like silk trimming or french grosgrain.
adornments and detail: that's where j.crew has flourished and made its mark.
