A couple of purchases recently:

This is an adorable nautical print that I fell in love with instantly! Its light weight and perfect for summer. I would size down, as it runs big. The only negative thing, is that the fabric is tissue weight, which we all know by now is prone to holes. This will be hand wash only for me!

Continuing my nautical theme I also picked up the J. Crew silk anchor blouse too:

Again, love the pattern and it fits true to size!  Really will enjoy wearing this over the coming months!
I have a couple of other things on the way, including that gondola top, that is finally the right price. :)

J. Crew Spring

My budget requires this lovely blouse to go on sale soon!

Swimsuit Must Haves from J Crew!

Loving the swimsuits in stock at J. Crew! Here are two bandeau tanks I would love to pick up:

Or...

I am dreaming of a beach holiday! How about you? :)

The Americana and Madewell

I made my first trip to Madewell today, and I have to say...I'm impressed!  I was supposed to be on a bit of a shopping ban due to a trip to wine country earlier this month with two of my girlfriends, but I should of known better then to risk going into Madewell!  I will post pictures of my finds later! :)  

Anyone who lives in Los Angeles, the trip to Glendale to the Americana is worth it! And if you are in the market for a new pair of jeans, go to the concierge desk, pick up their June booklet of coupons, and you will score a $25 off coupon off any pair of full priced jeans at Madewell. Woo Hoo! I used mine, and am looking forward to wearing my new svelte black jeans. YAY!

Blogging 101

I have been an avid reader of many of the different Jcrew blogs, including Jcrew Afficionada. I'm hoping to start throwing in my two cents, on items I love from Jcrew and other retailers I obsess about. Stay tuned! :)
