- I was destined to be a part of the creative world—between my early obsession with Fashion Plates and declaration at a young age that Jem was more hip than Barbie, it was just a matter of time until my fondness for design became a career. A Louisiana native, I moved to New York and led the wholesale divisions for Hollywould and Jill Stuart, as well as designed with couturier Ralph Rucci. With my husband and our furry daughter, Burkly Deluxe, we embarked on a few years of overseas adventures in Malaysia. We are now back Stateside “Inside the Loop” in Houston, Texas.

aw man! I love that yellow coat!
Sister. Don't I know.
I like the first outfit for either date night or a P.T.A. meeting....can't decide.
I have been seeing the J. Crew love all over the blogosphere...my biggest fear is that I will be seeing it everywhere! Maybe not in Austin...what do you think?!
Agreed!
Seleta: I can totally see both! That comment cracked me up. And you, of course, MUST sport the knee socks. A very key component to getting it right.
Barchbo: I agree. It is everywhere right now, but their styling has been so spot-on the past few seasons! I think the key to any large retailer is mixing their pieces in with your current wardrobe and making them your own. I'm not a "wear it once" sort of girl, so I also tend to be careful about making sure I can get a lot of mileage with what I buy!
Courtney, I completely agree - JCrew's marketing and merchandising team get me ever. single. time. I drool over most of it - and I love the saturated colors of this season's edition. The only saving grace that I have is that their fits are rarely the best option for me.
So shoes it is! (ebay has a motherload right now of all the lovely summer goodies, err... I shouldn't be encouraging competition!)
I'm loving the shoes!
oh that place is trouble...
I can't bring myself to wear peep-toe pumps with tights... am I just stuck in 'old rules'?
Oh how I love that dress. I reallllllllly need it for my "golden" birthday! I think it's only fair.
Oh yes.... they'll be collecting some of my money this fall as well. I am so completely impressed with their transformation from college cool to city chic.
I think what 'sells' it the most are those fantastic photographs. I'm convinced I never have success with Bluefly because of the headless white mannequins. So impersonal. But J. Crew has these happy models actually moving in the clothes. It works!
Anon: You know...it's tricky with the peep toe/tights thing. It totally depends on the shoe. Not all peep toes look good when worn with tights. But I love the look when done well.
YAY for the return of knee highs! J Crew has come SUCH a long way...
