jcrew fall

jcrew bests by laurenmaunder 

september is fast approaching and the fall catalogs are starting to roll in. i was a mix of dread and excitement as i found the jcrew catalog amidst a pile of mail on the table.  i my bank account literally have anxiety after going through the lookbook, earmarking corners, filling my cart.. picking and choosing what i love most. i. need. it. all.

the preppy chic standard jcrew has upheld through the years plus jenna lyons signature styling and trend setting features hits the mark with every piece; mixed patterns, distressed skinnies, cotton t's with leather sleeves, a cashmere bomber jacket, a leopard printed baseball cap and metallic pumps make this line drool-worthy yet functional for any city girl. from now until fall, for work or play, i can't wait to get my hands on every piece!

p.s. don't miss out, now through monday jcrew is offering 25% everything and free s+h if you spend $150+ with code FALLSTYLE... definitely taking advantage of that!
