Stripe asymmetrical chiffon bow pullover sweater. Nautically inspired but with a decidedly feminine twist, this supersoft striped pullover has a pearl-edged silk crepe de chine chiffon collar that ties asymmetrically at the neck.

The oiled finish also allows the leather to recover—meaning light surface scratches will work themselves out with wear or can be lightly buffed out with a soft cotton cloth. A multifunctional cross between a messenger bag and a sophisticated satchel, with a removable strap and side snaps so you can carry it over your shoulder or as a tote, and it has pockets galore.

J.Crew continues to brand buddy (they currently have partnerships with Globe Trotter, Timex, Jack Purcell, Hunter, and Ray-Ban, among others) with this new line of nail polish made by Essie. The line includes two colors which have the sort of cutesy names Essie is known for–  Eternal Optimist (pale pink above) and One of a Kind. (Available in select stores and JCrew.com, $8) 

Has J.Crew created the perfect pair of pants? Their new Stretch Twill Minnie style may be just that… I love the vintage ankle skimmer look!! The Minnie’s are also made of a cotton- elasthane blend and have a side zip. $79.50 from JCrew.com

This thing is just too tacky. Every time I start to like J.Crew for all its redeeming qualities, such as their jeans and cashmere t-shirts, they go and do something like this that makes me remember why I slightly cringe inside whenever I enter that store. “It’s the little details that make a difference, like the mark on the inside of this ring noting its solid-gold pedigree. The styling is a refined version of the classic signet style—we love its bold simplicity—but it also looks impressive graced with the wearer’s initials”  And oh, wait, shucks, (note: J.Crew does not offer engraving).
