So I really bit hard on the latest ‘MUSTSHOP’ promo at J Crew – take 40% off sale and Final Sale items and Free Shipping on $100 or more.

Cashmere Gloves – $48 $29.99 $17.99
I bought these in every color available for Christmas gifts next year.

Convertible Jeweled Gloves – $198 $99.99 $59.99
I’ve been eyeing these for a while. 
Not being able to find my Coach gloves this week was a good reason to buy new gloves.

Pearl Cobblestone Bracelet – $78 $69.99 $41.99
Wool Origami Sheath Dress in Dark Charcoal –$198 $99.99 $59.99
I really wanted the Olive Moss but this is such a unique dress the Dark Charcoal is just fine. Once I saw it pop back I was not about to let it get away from me again.
See it on One Fashionista Diva – doesn’t she look gorgeous?
  
Short Chalet Shearling Boots in Desert Brown – $198 $150 $89.99
Love that these were a pop-back. 
I have been wanting some “wear-out-of-the-house” cozy, Ugg-type boots. I think these will do.

Lindy Leather Platform Peep-Toes – $265 $149.99 $89.99
I plan on wearing these with several of last year’s pencil skirts (Pastiche, Contrast Pencil Skirt, Turkish Delight, Impressionist Pencil Skirt).
Vintage Cotton Ruffle Shirt – $45 $19.99 $11.99
I bought the white a few weeks ago in the B&M. It’s a little shear but a great layering tee with some detail. 
I bought the Bright Dahlia and the Olive Moss.

Cashmere Crewneck Tee – $145 $99 $59.99
I have a few of these in the short-sleeved version and love them.
They have been very versatile, with jeans and skirts. 

Have a great day!

This post was totally inspired by Ginger Girl who also found some great items. Check out her picks here.

I popped in to J Crew over the weekend and found a few things I liked.

New cardigan that’s not online
Style #32329, Color HMO-Heather Moss

Forgot a belt? Just adjust the double zipper pull.

And the new Oxford Shoe Tee
Style #31251

I’ll be travelling during the rest of the week so I’ll have some OOTDs to share this weekend.

Have a great week.

So here are some IRL pics from my last post of recent purchases.

J Crew Bici Tee – Size S – I usually take a Medium in the tees but have started to size down with different materials.

Sequined/Beaded spokes

Ann Taylor Tiered Shirt with Grosgrain Trim in Smokey Mauve Yarn, Size MP – A little fitted through the bust but I’ll be wearing a cardi or blazer with this.

J Crew Marled Pullover Hoodie – Size S – I love this hoodie! I can’t wait for the weather to get even remotely cool so I can wear it. It’s so comfy and soft. I missed out on the Marled sweater last year and still regret it. It’s a little tight in the arms for me (but most tops are in a Small) but the Medium was too big. I don’t plan on layering much under this hoodie so the Small is fine.

J Crew Plaid Boyfriend Cardigan – Size Small – There were no Mediums left so I grabbed a Small. Again the tight arms thing but I was not leaving the store without this sweater.

Anthropologie Alma Mater Blazer – Size 6 – Worn with Frances Cami. I love the texture, fit and contrast of this blazer. FREAKING CUTE!

J Crew Bi-Stretch Wool Minnie – Size 6 – I really like the Minnie pants and will be wearing this with a long cardi or sweater and boots.

Have a great evening!

I want to apologize. I have not been in the mood for blogging. September always seems to be the one month I can’t get it together and everything just sucks. But we’re half-way through, right? So forgive me if I don’t finish out the month strong. Ok?

Here’s what I recently purchased when “attempting” to make some returns at J Crew. You all know how that goes right? Especially on “new roll-out” day?

I returned these.

Marled Thandie Blazer 
(I returned this because I love my Alma Mater blazer from Anthropologie. I also recently purchased the J Crew Outlet version of the Eden blazer in Iris and have the Wool Schoolboy Blazer in Redwood that I have yet to wear.)

Matte Jersey Merot Dress 
(I bought this in Mink also and kept that one. $59.99 in store)

And brought home these.

Bici Tee (very cute, spokes are sequined)

Bi-Stretch Wool Minnie Pant in Cobblestone ($59.99 in store)

Marled Pullover Hoodie

Plaid Boyfriend Cardigan

Then I stopped by Ann Taylor to see if they had the matching belt to my Perfect Pumps in Porcini. They did.

And I also bought the Tiered Shirt with Grosgrain Trim in Smokey Mauve Yarn to get 25% off. I really wanted another pair of their Perfect Pumps but don’t need them so I held off.

Have a great day!

P.S. – I had a “mini-stop” at the J Crew Outlet on Sunday and saw they had the “Paris Tee” the “All Spice” Tee (from this post) and the Flower Sketch Tee in Olive Moss. All direct from the retail store and not an “outlet” version. I don’t recall pricing, sorry, but there was a % off all tees.

Hi everyone! Sorry for the absence. Work has been, well, work. So much that I needed to make an office trip Wednesday. I haven’t been in to my office since the end of April so I was due to go in for a day. Going in meant two things. 1)..Wearing a new item, particularly one of my new pencil skirts; and 2) Stopping by the J’Crewlet, where dina found some goodies I had to see in person.

So the first part will be taken care of below. I will post later today or tomorrow the outlet finds.

Here’s the Polyvore.

And how I wore it.

(I don’t have the bag but I saw it IRL and it is gorgeous!)

I am so happy with this outfit, except for one thing. The tank had a rouge ribbon that stuck straight out in the most inappropriate place. AND, it was right where it could be covered by the cardi, or not. So I need to do a little stitching to lay that sucker back down.

Have a great day!
