J. Crew Crush

J. Crew Fall Lookbook 2010

Whoever makes the J. Crew lookbooks is the DEVIL because they’re tempting me something awful. Seriously, I love every single look in their Fall  2010 Lookbook. And J. Crew is kind of out of my price range. Well, maybe I could buy one shirt or something on clearance, but everything else is pretty much out of my price range. Also, I’d probably need a stylist to help me dress in J. Crew to get the look right, I feel like I’m not very good at putting their pieces together. I guess I need to print out their lookbook as a map or something, but every time I go in there I feel a little boggled and poor. And also stared at by their predominantly older staff. Thus I own no J. Crew. I would like to, oh I would like to, it just hasn’t happened for me.  Anyway…

As you can see, the styling in the lookbook is impeccable, not to mention the model’s hair is awesome! I love the pale, pale blonde with the one barely there pastel stripe (you can see it in her bangs in the top picture). I want pastel hair! So badly…but I’m trying to resist right now since my hair is already damaged enough from all the bad I put it through. Hush hair, hush. Go back to sleep, I wasn’t talking about you…yes there, there, tuck behind my ear, there’s a good hair…

Now that is dapper.

J. Crew is also one of the best choices for a modern fitting men’s suits. Sure, most of the suits are in the bridal section of the J. Crew site, but that shouldn’t stop guys from buying a sharp-looking suit from there whether they’re heading down the aisle or just down to the (slightly fancy) office.

Unlike Rent-A-Tux places, who measure men and then seem to plot how to make them look as unattractive as possible for whatever event they’re attending that requires copious picture-taking, J. Crew’s suits don’t billow around the body and legs like sails on a stormy sea. J. Crew suits have a fashion forward slim cut to the jackets, and oh-so-importantly, slim cut pants to match.

Notice the straight cut thigh and tapered leg. That, sir, is flattering. No fattening, hideous pleats here.

Actually, everything J. Crew makes for weddings is adorable and elegant. Especially the brides and bridesmaid dress. Honestly, if anyone is getting married they definitely should check out the wedding section of the Website. Your bridesmaids will thank you.

Note: In no way am I affiliated with J. Crew. This is just my own opinion, they didn’t give me money to gush over them. I wish they did though, because it would still be sincere and then maybe I could actually afford to shop there!

Owlita Earrings

27 May

These earrings are verging on territory my grandma likes to cover (herself in), a.k.a. all things feathery and southwestern-y, but hey, we ARE related. So yeah, I’m so very into these Owlita brand earrings!

They’re really crazy, colorful and… long. But I adore them! They’re produced by a lady named Ashley Doty in a studio in Portland, Oregon (of course) and available online as well as in shops in several states!

They probably look better on girls with long, flowing, bohemian hair (which I do not have as you should well know), but I can’t help but desire them none the less.
