Ok, so J. Crew has some of the cutest stuff out right now, and I didn’t even get to half of it – I might have to go back and do a try on for what they are calling “A Print Fiesta!” The cutest patterns and prints that just scream SUMMER!

To be honest, J. Crew is a little out of my normal price range, actually a whole lot. But, in the widget on the bottom under each item, there is a caption that is a heart and says Get Sale Alert. If you click on the heart and enter your e-mail address, you will be notified when these items go on sale. This does not apply to when the stores do 40% off with code ________, but when the item itself goes on sale.

Happy shopping!

Sleeveless guipure lace sheath dress with jewel buttons

Love love love – and can you imagine wrapped up nicely with a leopard print bow. We’re talking wear to work, wedding, bridal luncheon, happy hour, fundraising event – you name it, you can wear it.

A-line sleeveless shirtdress in cotton poplin

THE DRESS YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE FOR THE SUMMER! Cotton white dresses are a STAPLE for spring and summer, and with these asymmetrical buttons and A-line skirt, you’re sure to stand out. Oh, and it’s fully lined (clapping hands) and has pockets (clapping hands again.)

Ruffle deep V-neck beach dress

I don’t even know where to begin with this one. This is the first dress I saw when I walked into the store. It is beautiful, beachy, goddess-like, fiesta-ish, and in a weird way somewhat like a night gown 🙂 My drawback with this dress is A) absolutely cannot be worn around the twins because of, ya know, the other twins that need stay in, and B) a dress like this needs an event. This is not a dress you buy and just leave in your closet waiting to wear it (unless the price tag is nothing for your budget.) This isn’t the “oh I’ll wear to Friday night dinner or Sunday brunch with friends” dress either. So, I’ll dream about this dress and keep it in the back of my mind, and when that friend gets married on the beach in Mexico, or when I get a chance to travel to Santorini, I’ll make sure to buy this bad boy and take it along with me.

Spaghetti-strap jumpsuit in striped beauchamps linen

Absolutely beautiful on. So beautiful, in fact, that it came home with me 🙂

Martie pant in bi-stretch gingham

I was wearing pink gingham pants when I walked in, and you know how my love affair with tablecloth prints has been lately, so naturally I had to give these a shot. Classy and stylish – the perfect addition to any wardrobe.

Denim short in white

Does P. Diddy (or is it just Diddy now?) still throw an all white party? These shorts are super super stretchy and very comfortable on. Ugh, I’m so mad I didn’t try on this sleeveless sweater that is kind of a cream color that would have looked PERFECT with these shorts. Another closet staple.

High-rise denim short with exposed button fly

So these shorts look a little awkward because they were a size too big AND I didn’t realize you could fold the bottoms (see pic in widget below.) BUT, they are adorable on and if I hadn’t been in such a rush at this point to get back out to my part of town and deal with I-10 traffic on a Friday afternoon, I would have gotten the smaller size.
