THE NEWEST ARRIVALS (not yet online)

These are just some of the new arrivals that will be here soon. I just came back from my Jcrew store that is already setting up for Holiday!!! They get new arrivals two weeks before anyone else so I feel very lucky to be near here. The store was full of Jcrew personnel working on setting up the store for Holiday decor, decorating it and styling. I call this "set-up" team "walking Jcrew catalog models". They are all dressed Jcrew and the styling is impeccable: the latest, the trendiest and always with a personal touch to make it unique. Love it! I get a lot of styling inspiration from them.
The store wasn't fully set up yet but I could see some of the newest arrivals. Overall colorful, textured and so Jcrew! The Talia silk blouse (aka Boatneck Silk Top) is now going to be available in leopard print as well!!! And it will also be in a dress in the same leopard print (think long sleeve, floaty, dolman sleeve type ). Some new sweaters Fair Isle in a VERY thick knit, some cute ones with a heart in a front in many different color combos (red/pink, navy/green, black/navy). Some new tweed pencil skirts that I already so online but also one that I don't remember ever seeing which is simply gorgeous in brown plaid pencil skirt with a high waist and a bow at the waist...just gorgeous and LINED too!!! I saw some coats (wool trench style) in the store but not many, maybe they are still unpacking the merchandise. I'm going back there Thursday to pick up a suit they are tailoring for me so I'll post more pics.
I just love Holiday season, it's exciting! I don't know about you guys but I almost wait for something magical to happen....We'll see!!!!
