Shoes Obsession

Women's High Heels - High Heel Shoes & Sandals, High Heel Slingbacks - Women's Shoes - J.Crew

I've just visited J.Crew at Rockefeller Plaza NYC today and walked out "high". I love J.Crew! Every time I'm in a store it's like getting a drug fix for me. This location is awesome! The staff is amazing, I get an honest outfit advice at all times and they work with me until I find what I need.
The store is ALWAYS neat and organized, there is ALWAYS someone available to assist right away and I ALWAYS walk out feeling amazing!
Well, while there I spotted the new Joley peep toe pumps. The shoes are really cute. The heel height is comfortable to wear everyday and the shoe is fancy enough to pull off an evening look. I especially like the pale gold pair...ahhhh! It's pearlized leather upper with patent finish which just gives this shoe a chic, sleek look. I love it!!!!

THE SUMMER "IT" DRESS

Women's dresses - knit dresses - Ruffled-hem dress - J.Crew

Unfortunatly, the Ikat halter top dress has been sold out online and in most stores and with an expected date of shipment of 08/31 who can possibly wait? Well, there are other options! And you don't have to wait for the summer to be over to finally be able to order this dress. I first saw this dress online, it caught my attention, but I wasn't smittened by it, until I saw it in a store. This is really that summer/hot weather/comfortable/just slip on/yet stylish staple in your closet. It's very soft, available in 3 different colors (my favorites are grey or navy, still can't decide) and has the right price tag of $78. Eventhough it doesn't look very long on a model in this picture, it'll fit longer on an average woman and yet you wont be swipping the floors with it. It provides enough coverage for cleavage and in the back. The dress has cute ruffle detail at hem and is just adorable overall.
Let me know what you think!?!

New Arrivals are in stores!!!!


I want to report on my latest visit to a J.Crew Manhattan store to check out these new summer arrivals. There were not that many of the newest things (that are not available online yet) in stores. The stores are full of June items: the ruffle dresses, ruffle swirl tanks, vintage slim boyfriend jeans, tuxedo front ruffle camis, featherweight summer cardigans and etc, basically exactly what the latest June catalog has to offer. I did spot the newest arrivals and the color theme seams to be NAVY. The pieces felt more classic, not as many ruffles, as the previous season and more "grown-up". Typical J.Crew pencil skirts, mini skirts and tops out of print fabric in "almost fall" colors of navy and brown. I have to say that I noticed J.Crew does a lot of navy which means only one thing that it's their "new black", but seriously as one of the J.Crew personal shoppers shared with me, it's their best selling color. The pieces are definitely worth checking out especially if, like me, you feel that ruffles - the choice of almost every single spring/summer collection item- are getting to be plaid out.
Let me know what you think and share your ideas.
