{ commander in chic }

all of the fur-pouf surprises and vintage-y jewels in the new j.crew look book have me pining extra hard for the arrival of fall. it's my favorite season to dress for! and yet there's still so long to wait.



if you've not yet watched the behind-the-scenes video from this shoot (it's certainly made its way around the internets already), please do so now. then, click over to fashionista to read 'the five keys to (j.crew creative director) jenna lyons' success.' what an inspiration she is ~ a true fashion role model!

Fall: The season you can wear your clothes and not feel like ripping them off because it's 104 outside--the season you can be fashionable.

:] I love Fall.

Nerissa said...

Fall is definitely the season where layering can truly be fun. You can have fun with layering because it's cool enough to be practical but not so cold that all your layers are kept hidden beneath thick coats and never get to see the light of day.

Loved the behind the scenes video! It seems to be a great collection and the leopard hat and the white fur hat really got me there xD!

I would say J.Crew has been spot on with their catalogs for a couple of years now - I look forward to flipping through the pages almost as much I look forward to my monthly fashion mags. They've stepped up the style factor and are doing a fantastic job!

Briana said...

JCrew has really impressed me lately; I find myself ripping pages from their catalogues to keep as inspiration for my own assignments and daily styles.

I just read the article. I have to say I am in awe. I thought the photoshoot belonged to a high fashion brand for their fall collection or something. It's amazing how she has turned something as simple and within reach as J Crew into something to covet. :)

Mmmm, that cowl-neck pullover with the kangaroo pockets looks so cosy.

I can't wait for fall. Seriously, I've bought about 6 things this summer and 5 of them have been for fall/winter, it's painful having to wait to debut them!

Is she creative director for Madewell also?
