Madwell is Here!!

San Antonio is finally getting a Madewell store and it opens tomorrow, Oct 21! I have been waiting months for this store. I have only been into one store, last year during my California trip. The closest one to me right now is about an hour and 15 minutes away. As of tomorrow, it will be 10 minutes away, and across the street from J Crew, at the Shops at La Cantera.

I should probably leave my wallet at home tomorrow since new arrivals at J Crew are expected this week as well. But, below are some items I am excited to see in-store.

Textured Crop Sweatshirt – I don’t think this will be very cropped on me and I like the longer hem in the back. The dropped shoulders are the only thing that makes me wary of this sweatshirt.

Penfield® Stokes Plaid Shirt – There was a similar one offered at J Crew this Summer that sold out really quick, and pop-backs were a tease. That one was a pop-over and this one is a full button-down.

Halfmoon Layering Necklace – I don’t wear jewelry much but this layered necklace looks interesting enough to wear daily.

The Perfect Tunic in Tipped Silk – This is one of the items I am most interested in seeing IRL; in this color. I’m hoping it doesn’t disappoint.

The Berliner Satchel – This bag is very similar to my Bisbee Satchel from 2010. Though I don’t use it as much these days, I still love it and am so glad I bought it. A darker color in the same style would be nice to have.

Leather-Pocket T-Shirt Dress – This dress look so simple and cute and easy to just throw-on-and-go. I really hope I get to see it IRL.

The Otis Boot in Shearling – I have the Short Chalet Boot from a few years ago and love it. Now, it’s losing the shearling in the footbed and I am not sure what to do. The sole is still great as is the shearling everywhere else. I picked the Short Chalet Boot because they were not as wide-looking as Uggs. The Otis Boot seems to have a harder sole but might be able to replace my Chalet Boots.

I am really hoping I can make it to the Grand Opening Party at 7 p.m. but I have to be out-of-town for the day so I may not make it back. If not, I’ll head there sometime during the week when most people are in school or at work. 

Anyone else in San Antonio excited about Madewell opening? Anyone going to the store opening tomorrow?

      Gigi! I was able to make it. I got there a little early so I was able to try on clothes before the party started. I can't wait to share!
