Spring Must-Haves from J. Crew: The Spring Starts Here...

-


I like what's been happening at the J. Crew for the past few years. I'm glad that they recognized the need to sexy-up their assortment. While a few years ago I wouldn't even stop by their stores, now I always stop by...

The brand's image has evolved from a 'boring corporate women', 'preppy, old money men' and 'grandma essentials' to tailor to the younger and more hip and chic audience. From introducing high quality cashmere and 'lovely' colors to carrying cool Essie nail polishes and Face cosmetics and classy-chick accessories. And even though I, personally, think they are a bit over-priced, still, the change has made it more appealing for me to stop by and browse through their soft tees and classy - not over the top - bathing suits once in a while. They've been also doing a good job with the jewelry accessories and beach/summer bags. It also helped to introduce the Italian Shoe Collection, which I find very sexy and feminine - and the fact that their shoes come with a wearable heel heights.

Moreover, I've always loved their Wedding Collection. I find it simple, classy and affordable enough (not your Vera Wang ones), although, I'd always opt for David's Bridal just because it offers more variety in the styles of the dresses, as well as the accessories. [No worries, I'm not getting married any time soon...]

  It's been my fifth year in a row spending Christmas in College Station, Texas - a town that I would have never thought I'd end up going to more than I do to any other places in the world. [How many times I wished my parents settled in places like Paris, London, Florence, Split, Berlin, or at least - in San Francisco and/or Washington, DC - the places that I'd be more than happy to visit them at more often!] So, it's a true battle when the holidays or vacation times come - to go visit my parents in Texas or to go to Paris, Amsterdam or Tokyo - or places I've never visited before? - a battle that I often loose in favor of my parents, and, thus - in favor of the little Texan town, College Station...

The spring is almost here, which means - soon-to-be-packed and stored away winter boots are in much need to be replaced with the next sexy-thing on the shoe markets.
