All Sails Up!

Before I go on vacation, I make sure to stop by J. Crew for some staples. During the warmer climates, J. Crew just seems to be at their prime, making great items at affordable prices. The ultra chic Cotton Anchor Skirt is one of those new items that you should own. Cast into a sea of navy cotton, the white anchor wraps itself all the way around the skirt. To make this item more casual, the designers added pockets that sit comfortably on the seam. This skirt will cost about $118.

J. Crew Cashmere Striped Short-Sleeve Tee

It should come as no surprise that I’m completely obsessed with cashmere. I can’t get enough of its unbelievable softness and sense of luxury. J. Crew makes some adorable cashmere pieces at some surprisingly palatable prices, especially considering how high quality their cashmere is. Their $118 Cashmere Striped Short-Sleeve Tee is my current favorite because it hits on two of my favorite things: cashmere and nautical. I love stripes, especially nautical stripes, and this just looks like the most divine thing to wear when you’re on a yacht. Pair it with big Jackie O shades and a sweet headband and you’re in business!

J. Crew Raffia Embroidered Linen Gown

J. Crew’s line of wedding gowns must have been made with California in mind. Every dress is simply perfect for a different California location. Some look right for a beach wedding, some for a wedding on a cliff overlooking the Pacific. Some look perfect for a Montecito garden wedding, others look ready for a vineyard wedding. They all have this gorgeous, ethereal, relaxed beauty feel that makes them so delectable to behold! This Raffia Embroidered Linen Gown would look just perfect in the gardens of a Bel-Air mansion. At $2,450, the price is a bit steep, but J. Crew takes every step to ensure every detail is looked after: the dress even comes with custom-made box to store it in! The linen is from Italy and the quality looks simply divine! For the lucky lady getting married, get it before it’s gone!

Mad About Madras

I’m a Madras addict- bags, flip-flops, shorts, skirts, jackets, belts, you name it, I want it.  Luckily, it’s everywhere this season.  My favorite summer dress is naturally this adorable jumper from J. Crew that just oozes cuteness and comfort.  I’m going to wear mine sightseeing on vacation, to backyard fiestas, and walks down the boardwalk.   It’s surprisingly affordable for something this timeless.  The pockets only make me love it more!
