Tory Burch has some beautiful browns and blues for Fall along with a Paisley print. She always knows how to mix it all together so well. For practical reasons I would probably get one of the tunics, and am leaning towards the Tunic with Taping. The Suede Shorts look beautiful online in the Brick color and give off a 70s vibe. I’ve seen the Silk Short Skirt in person and it’s even more beautiful than the pictures online show. I was a little leery about the large paisley print but it’s really nice IRL.

I’ve purchased quite a few pieces over the last few seasons and have been extremely happy with them and the quality of each item. I wear my Zora Tee quite often and it’s held up really well. I was also able to find the Embroidered Tunic I had been stalking since Spring. It’s been great to wear to dinner and a graduation party.

I can’t really say the same about J Crew right now as several items I’ve purchased from Spring have ripped, have holes in them or have faded. I’m at the point where I really would rather pay more for a quality piece than what seems to be the “fast fashion” J Crew is putting out right now. Hopefully the shake-up from last month at headquarters will turn things around. Wishful thinking!

New arrivals from J Crew posted on Monday. Below are my picks from the latest arrival. I’ve already reviewed the last three dresses.

I will attending my store’s First Look event and hope that some items are in store, like the Postage Stamp Mini in Polynesian Floral. I know that I won’t see any of the Collection items since my store doesn’t carry any but I’ve been lusting over the Inky Floral Linen Shell as well as the dress.

I like the Strappy Chambray Midi Dress but the strappy-back is not a good look for me. I also think I will finally purchase the Linen Halter Maxi Dress. I’ll need a strapless bra for it but I can’t stop thinking about it.
Overall, I am obsessed with a lot of the Collection items and very few of the actual retail items. I’ll try on a few things just to gauge sizing and fit for you.
Is there anything in Collection you are wanting? What about the overall roll-out? How do you like it?

Tonight, I’ll be attending a birthday event that my local Anthropologie is hosting. Below are some of my picks and what I hope to find in-store to try on.

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
The Tylho Gingham Open-Shoulder Top is probably my favorite with the HD in Paris Cabana Peplum Tank coming in second. Maybe because we’ve only had a small taste of hot weather is why I’m looking at cool easy-breezy pieces. Also, I love Navy Gingham and the shape of that Peplum Tank.

There’s a lot I love in the most recent new arrivals from J Crew. This is a nice roll-out for almost Summer.

I’m always looking for long shorts and the Metallic Foil Bermuda Shorts look great for a date-night option. I saw the Stitch-Down Pleated Mini Skirt in Ivory and it’s very similar to the Pleated Lattice Skirt. I haven’t compared the two but I think there is less stitching on the new skirt.

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
The Cap-Sleeve Shirtdress really makes me wish I worked in an office more than once every quarter. I would buy it in a heartbeat. My issue with most shirtdresses is that the sleeves are cut way too slim, so cap-sleeve and sleeveless options are best. 
The Drapey V-Neck Romper in Dark Cinnamon is a huge love for me. I love this color and think this will be great for daily wear and maybe even for a casual night out at the nearby Food Truck place. 
Lastly, I love the Jungle Print and think the best option for me would be the Racer-Back swimsuit. I am in the pool almost every weekend so I need several options to wear throughout the Summer, both bikini and one-piece options. 
I am hoping to get to my store’s First Look event tonight and hope some of these items are in-store. What are you liking from the new roll-out that I should consider?

The J Crew Factory roll-out a few weeks ago had a lot of items that I really liked. Below is just a sample of what I added to my wishlist and what I ordered during the Early Access preview.

Wouldn’t a white Shirtdress look so crisp during the Summer. I would roll the sleeves and change the belt to something bright or maybe even metallic. You could go preppy by tying the Basketweave Sweater around your neck or waist.

I would love a nice pair of Linen Trousers but I rarely wear pants or trousers, preferring skirts and shorts so they would just sit in my closet. Now, the Printed Drapey Short is more my lifestyle so I did order those.

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
I am a fan of the Pleated Short having them in the retail version. I ordered the Bright Scarlet as I’m missing a pair of red shorts in my closet. 
The Tie-Dye D’Orsay Flats would be a lot of fun to wear during the Spring and Summer, don’t you think? The Sylvia Patent Wedges in Navy were the first item I added to my cart. I’ve been looking for them ever since missing out on the retail version. I’ll have a review of them next Shoes-day.
