Speed Racer stripes!
Christina Ricci is definitely not the first person who comes to my mind when I think of style icons, but like most actresses in Hollywood, there are certain pieces of clothing she wears that I’d wear, too.
Check out her J.Crew striped kelly jacket. It’s a classic box cut, with three-quarter sleeves, a three-button front, and a chic crewneck. […]

I love almost anything J.Crew, but I think I’m loving this button-down because it is such a departure from J.Crew’s typical professional dress shirts.
First, the fit is different – The fit is slim-lined to hug the body just slightly more than a boyfriend shirt.
Second, the fabric — Shimmering cotton lamé is lightweight and perfect for when weather […]

Many style statements from the 1980s have made comebacks in recent years — oversized clutches, wasp waists, –
White denim.
Made classic by J.Crew, I’m loving these white denim matchstick jeans. With a leg that’s not straight but not skinny, a comfortable rise, and perhaps the most figure-flattering back pockets EVER – these jeans have a super-stylish silhouette.
White denim is […]

Pendants are still fair game for fresh style this summer, but I am loving large, borderline gaudy baubles in bright colours.
My favourites I’ve found so far are available at J.Crew — no surprise there!
Check out this beaded paisley necklace. Designed in the most vibrant blue, these resin beads are hand knotted on a sturdy cotton thread, and fastened […]

Hope,
I need to find some stylish shorts for this summer. Can you tell me some lengths and styles that would work for someone 5′ 5″ or shorter? Thanks for your help!
Blame it on my alabaster complexion, but I’ve always sworn by bermuda shorts when warmer weather starts. This summer, though, I’m so loving the wide variety of shorter shorts that I […]

To dress daringly — be it baring your décolletage in a low-neckline, or showing your gams in a minute mini — is dramatic, but to make it exotic, try throwing in a little print (animal, that is.)
I’m thinking a leopard-print coat by Dior that’s more fresh than spring flowers, and French Sole ballet shoes that […]

Getting ready for a night on the town brings to my mind two words: Glamour and gloss. I’m all about amping up the WOW-factor for evening, especially when it comes to some unique accoutrements.
Whether you’re creating metallic luster with a sequined gown, or spicing up a not-so-basic-black mini dress with too-tall heels, there’s one accessory that […]

Hope,
I run a business and most days find myself dressed up. I need some grubby clothes I can wear during my ‘down time’, when I’m just out running errands or hanging out with friends. Please give me some help!
Dressing Down
Dear Dressing Down,
I can’t with a good conscious recommend you dress “grubby”, but you can take your wardrobe down […]

Super-soft — and warm — sweaters are a must for mid-winter, and finding one that doubles as a coat is the perfect piece of versatility for your wardrobe.
J.Crew’s Sophie peacoat sweater is all of the above. Made from double-knit, 12-gauge merino wool, this chic jacket is a sweet transition piece for winter to spring. While […]

Blame it on the January thaw, but I am loving all things yellow. Could I be craving spring weather to slip into some of these vibrantly coloured clothes?
Obviously.
While lemon yellow doesn’t suit fair-skinned women, and butter yellow doesn’t wear well on raven-haired women, I’m convinced there is a shade of this sunshine-inspired colour out there […]

I find that many women who attend holiday soirees choose to dress in safe colours, like black, red, –
Gold.
So I was thrilled when I came across this silk taffeta dress, discounted on J.Crew.com. Ballet-inspired with a front and back scoop-neck, a fitted bodice, and shirred skirt, this dress is absolutely darling.
I’m especially impressed with the hidden side […]
