I keep waiting for J.Crew to slip up and yet season after season (after season) Jenna Lyons and her brilliant team knock it out of the park. I want every single one of these looks for summer, especially the ensembles at top left (bow shorts, I die…) and middle right (I live for stripes). Do you have a favorite?
I love this silver and gold sequinned (?) dress! pity i can’t wear i live because it’s reminiscient of local singers that perform for ghosts during a period called the hungry ghosts festival.
the last look, though, is lovely too — and i’d do it any day!
I completely agree!
oh so lovely, i wish they had j crew in the UK!
i love the bow shorts too, plus the dress on the last line, the half gold/half silver thing is genius!

I second the bow shorts! Love love love.
I concur wholeheartedly – Jenna can do no wrong! Have you seen Prabal Gurung’s new capsule collection for J.Crew? It’s bananas, and right up your alley!

I’m loving the hat on the bottom right. probably the only thing I can currently afford from jcrew at the moment, but I am eyeing a little white dress that I would love to change into late into the night of my own wedding… I’m starting to save my pennies!
John — I know!!! Love that they collaborated. Brilliant.
Love everything!! That sequin dress is divine… ;)
i’ve had to ban myself from their website. everything on there is something i feel i need. and really, i do. they have been perfect this season.
Katie, you have an impeccable taste – love every single post!
I looooove the sequined dress. Capital L. O. V. E.
I love it all but especially the tunic shirt dress.
John – I like that you use the expression “bananas” – that’s awesome.
Katie – I think YOU knock it out of the park – always.
And as for me, I love the hat on top right photo, especially the hat.
I never met a big sun hat I didn’t like…

katie – i was at j.crew tonight and noticed their “matchstick” jeans. i assume you’ve already discovered them, but if not – there’s just one more matchbook connection for ya :)
It’s all pretty fantastic.
That sparkle is fabulous … I’m a J.Crew girl and totally dying for a pair of white matchstick jeans … on my wishlist!
I love the very first look. A classic blazer with a denim button-up and bow-tie shorts? Perfection.
Lovely all around. Any idea on what shade the lip color is? It’s all I can look at!
love the bow shorts and the shoes! j.crew never fails for something cute to look forward to.
The casual shirt dress, the all-white outfit and striped pants, I would add them all to my wardrobe. :) Ada
sequins and a utilitarian jacket? i’m in love.
LOVE the sequin dress + jacket + belt. and LOVE http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/jewelry/earrings/PRDOVR~25305/25305.jsp. a fab accessory—just what a matchbook girl needs?
You’re right… they do it all so well. I wish my local store was better, though. Okay, my favorite is the top right. And I’d also wear the bottom right. But I love them all!
