You really do have to give credit where credit is due. In this case, it’s J. Crew. After a couple of disappointing years, I think they heard the message loud and clear. It takes a lot for a company to really listen to its customer base, make quick and smart decisions, and change course. I don’t think I’m the only one here, but I have been really impressed with the new stuff.
I know shopping and clothes is pretty trivial when you’re looking at life from a big picture. That said, there’s something about being able to walk into a store and find exactly what you’re looking for… and more. To slip into the fitting room and feel confident and amazing in what you’re wearing.
I think this spring collection is going to be great. When the previews came out there was a lot of gingham and madras and that alone made my heart go aflutter.
The first wave is out. I’m smiling and my wallet is crying…
The new sunglasses are especially amazing. I’m leaning towards this navy pair (!!!) or this classic cat eye.
The Chateau Trench Coat is at the top of my wishlist. I’ve been on the hunt for a trench coat (still on the fence about the Burberry) and I like that this is a very springy and looks easy to wear. I like the hood a lot and like the gingham lining inside even more.
Again, the navy sunglasses are really cute and a little different than what I already have. It looks like they spent a lot of time coming up with their sunglass collection and I’m hoping they’re as great as they look!
I am all about easy to wear t-shirts, stripes are a major bonus. They can look chic with the right cropped jeans and ballet flats and sporty with denim shorts and sneaks.
My closet is already overflowing with sweaters, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to resist this tipped cable knit sweater. Looks perfect for traveling and would be great with cut offs at the beach or sharp navy slacks for a dressier look.
Finding cute skirts seems to get harder and harder every season. I have a few that I love and wear over and over again. This tweed skirt would fit in with my wardrobe quite well I think.

I 100% agree with you about there being a couple disappointing years. I'm really excited about the new arrivals! Hoping the J Crew I knew and loved is back in full force!
J Crew is the best place to get basics.

J.Crew's winter collections the past two years have been on point too! They're my go-to for work clothes!

I haven't shopped at Jcrew in years yet I still their credit card. My only concern with new arrivals that seem like they're going back to 90's route when I first fell in love was a) how is quality b) do their prices justify the quality or just inflation. Sadly not buying made in China items has saved my wallet. Until Jcrew makes great quality leather items that are made in Italy, it will be forever until I shop there again.
I highly recommend the trench from Zara. Definitely well structured and good quality for $130! http://www.zara.com/us/en/woman/outerwear/view-all/water-repellent-trench-coat-c719012p3184590.html
I am a very loyal customer of Reebok.It has always been the first preference of mine. It is Reebok which introduce me with the real benefits of crossfit shoes .I expect from yours too.
Hey Carly. Thank you for a nice post. As for glasses I would say classic cat eye no doubt
