A giant shirt is not cute. If it feels overly comfortable, it probably doesn't look so good. A simple fit test is to check your shoulder seam. It's designed to be on your shoulder line—not somewhere near it...We don't need you to be perfect. What we do need is for you to look a little bit more pulled-together. And no pleats, please, not ever, ever, in your life. Ever.
”"Rules of Style: J. Crew's Jenna Lyons", Details
A minaudière, or box clutch, is the perfect accessory for summer. We love the simplicity and weightlessness of this style--it's only big enough for a slim wallet, a cell phone and one can't-live-without beauty item. Much to our delight we recently discovered an affordable but just-as-chic version by J.Crew. Rendered in navy, mint, hot pink, gold and silver, and retailing for only $98, this bag is definately a summer must-have. Wear it in the evening with an effortless cocktail dress or during the day with boyfriend jeans and smart flats.
Four-year-old Italian ready-to-wear label, Derercuny, has folded.
Jennifer Connelly is rumored to be returning this fall as the face of Balenciaga.
Sefano Pilati just got a floral sleeve tattooed on his forearm.
J.Crew is opening a concept store in Malibu that is resort themed.
Clear shades are popular with the fashion folk this summer. Hardly a day goes by that we don't see a pair of acetates staring back out at us. For Fall acetate frames will still be around, but in the form of eyeglasses (we're down with going it seventh grade style and wearing them even if you don't require them), our pick in that regard is the Selima pair for J. Crew. Alas, we are still in shades weather and in that regard the Nicole 002 by Benjamin Eyewear takes the cake (left). Forget looking like the Terminator with thick all-black shades, the acetate trend is letting the real thing show-off (i.e. your face!). If you're stuck in between two worlds, Wayfarer put out a two-tone number that we've seen a few chicsters sporting. We think the two-tone kind of makes you look like your eighty years old but in a good way. Also on our radar is this pair, by Grey Ant. The case these shades come in is as big as a briefcase but the shades are pretty amazing and aptly named, The Status Sunglasses. If you can't be asked to drop some dough, Urban Outfitters has a pair of acetate shades for less than it costs to fill up your tank (minus a million).
