MY LATEST OBSESSIONS

These are my latest fashion finds at Jcrew! Part of the new arrivals are now my season favorite silk linen slouchy pant. They are ankle length, with zipper pockets and super easy to wear with both heels and flats. I decided they'll pair well with this zebra tunic made of this awesome Japanese cotton material that just takes shape of your body for the most flattering fit. I mean when you wear them together the look is just this easy going-sexy-chic! Love it!

Jenna Lyons in Aspen for a fashion week

OMG! Here is a picture I found on Aficionada blog from Garance Dore fashion blog of Jenna Lyons. I just had to post it here because look how stunning Jenna looks....!!! She was spotted in Aspen for a fashion week checking out outerwear boutiques. The picture is really awesome, don't you think? Jenna always manages to look stylishly put together in that i-don't-try-hard way. A simple tee with cuffed blue-wash jeans, paired with a long striped scarf belted at the waist of course (a true Jcrew style) and a black relaxed jacket (sleeves rolled up of course). And notice how she is wearing high heel sandals with socks (another Jcrew staple). But the best of all- is of course her CHANEL BAG!!! Lets all take a moment and just admire Jenna in this picture... It really shows a talented young woman who has accomplished a lot, knows her personal style and has A LOT of American women watching her every step to try to look like her. I just love it.

TWYLA CAMI

With the spring here and sun shining bright we are all more than happy to finally take our winter coats off and wear something light. I'm a sucker for cardigans (J.Crew of course). And, with every cardigan I need to have a perfect shell, cami, or tee. This Twyla cami is PERFECT! I saw it first online but didn't get too excited because it didn't seam to me too exciting until that is I saw it in a J.Crew store. The material is silk, feels soo nice more like a cottony silk as appose to a regular silky silk feel (I'm sorry it's hard to explain). It has just the right neckline - not too deep and not too closed. It has a soft shimmer to it that just adds a summer glow and the colors are so versatile to pair with any cardigan! It's onsale online but strangely is being sold for a regular price in stores. Once, I mentioned that to a store manager she was super nice and honored the discount. I bought a white one, figuring it'll go beautifully with my grey and navy sweaters. The fit is generous so I had to size down one size. Happy shopping everyone!!!

SPRING ITEMS TO CONSIDER

I visit J.Crew stores, follow J.Crew news, articles and blogs on DAILY bases and noticed the latest trend for spring! Consider taking another look at "your boyfriend's chambray shirt", luckily for us J.Crew offers this top in a women's section: "This heirloom-worthy shirt has authentic details inspired by vintage workwear from the 1930s, and the Japanese selvedge cotton chambray is the best there is (we stonewash ours for that perfect worn-in look and feel). Boyfriend fit—casually chic with a longer shirttail hem and a slightly oversize fit (it's just like his, only you don't have to give it back)." J.Crew offers it for $98 item 15008 catalog/online only! Trust me I tried looking for it in stores, noone has it. The fit is roomy so size down and order accordingly.

Another item that sells well and is very popular is a schoolboy blazer in navy. It's fitted and tailored for a superb style. I think it goes well with a mini skirt, skinny black pants (think pixie, minnie styles) paired with a white oxford shirt, as well as any summer style cropped pants in light colors. It's offered at $198 item 17072.

The ALICE tank

I happened to see these camis in the NJ Garden State Plaza mall and they really look quiet lovely in person. I don't think this particular website picture does this item justice. It's very cute with a ruffle front and stone/sparkle detailing. It's definitely something to consider if you are looking for something fresh and new for spring, especially to wear under a cardigan.
