J Crew Fall 2010

BAHG!

I kept putting off buying this bra in black and of course when I went to buy it, it was sold out. However, I was able to buy the grey one, but still...

J Crew Fall 2010

College Grooming Kit

I decided to compile a cardboard box of grooming essentials that was simple and compact for college, especially since last year I brought WAY too much stuff. I am not a fan of buying the large size of cosmetics because I feel it collects more bacteria from such prolonged use and it may expire before I use it, but I need a no fuss, no muss routine. It is less expensive just having bulk sizes and I won't have to worry about finding time to shop for supplies in between classes.

J Crew Tretorn Sneakers

I thought these would be a fun shoe for walking around campus. The first picture is actually the kids version. I am hoping that because these shoes aren't acutally made by J Crew, they won't be as uncomfortable as J Crew shoes tend to be on me.

Jenna Lyons and Mickey Drexler have done great things with J Crew, and now we can look forward to what Drexler and Madewell's head of design Kin Ying Lee have in store for Madewell! The collection is sort of small at madewell.com but I can't wait to see how they progress in the furture.  They have a really cool group of shoes and jewelry that I have been eyeing. As you can see, I like to collect J Crew's fun jewelry, so maybe I can mix in some Madewell in there. Layering is a must with these pieces.

I might do a post later about my favorites from the Madewell website...
