In the Mood – J.Crew New Arrivals (Fall 2016)

Pink, pink and more pink! J.Crew definitely wants all of us to think pink this fall.  I finally had a chance to see the new arrivals in person at J.Crew today and I actually tried on a few pieces as well.  I’ll share my fitting room tryons in a later post, so stay tuned.  I was pretty excited to see so many beautiful shades of pink sprinkled throughout the store.  I wanted to try everything on as soon as I walked in.  Every shop had something for everyone – bold bright colors, paisley prints, a beautiful leopard pattern, subtle ruffles here and there and even a little glitter. To stay that I love the fall collection is an understatement.  I literally want to buy everything right now.  One of the first things I plan to buy is the Margot Top in airy cotton pique.  This top reminds me of some of the older J.Crew pieces that you’ll never get tired of seeing.  Another item that’s at the top of my list is the Cuffed-Sleeve Top in leopard print.  This timeless top is a great statement piece that you can pair up with just about anything - remember leopard is a neutral.  And last, but not least, I don't want to miss out on the Rhodes Blazer in Italian Wool.  The wild flamingo color is pretty spectacular.  I didn’t know what to expect when I saw it online, but in person the color is just wow.  It’s not too bright nor is it too dark.  The color has just the right amount of cool tones in it to make it the perfect pop of color for fall.        
Are you guys excited about this new collection?  Which items are you most likely to buy?  Have you checked out the latest catalog yet?  I didn’t get a copy in the mail, but I did check out J.Crew’s Pinterest board for some pinspiration.  Well, my favorite items from J.Crew are pictured below and I’m sure they will put you all in a good mood!  Check them out and let me know what you’re loving this month.

Moody Style: Now and Later

Happy Friday Eve! I hope that you all are having a great week so far.  I’ve been traveling for work since Sunday and I still have one more day to go, so needless to say I’m ready for the weekend.  I’m also ready for a vacation.  I realized earlier today that I haven’t taken a real vacation this summer yet.  I’ve gone on mini trips here and there, but nothing like a true vacation where I’m sitting on a beach soaking up the rays or exploring a new city.  Hopefully, I’ll get something planned soon, so stay tuned.

The sleeveless cowl neck shift dress that I’m wearing was one of the first pieces that I wore from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  This dress is so easy to wear now by itself in the summertime with some cute sandals and accessories.  And it will transition perfectly later into the fall season.  Just add some booties and a denim or utility jacket and you’re ready for cooler weather.  A few weeks ago, I packed this dress to visit my sister out of town for the weekend.  This dress is so soft and lightweight, that it was easy to add to my luggage.  I decided to wear this dress to church because it’s comfortable and it’s a versatile piece that you don’t have to think about.  When I originally saw this casual dress online, I didn’t hesitate to order it right away.  I had a feeling it was going to be a flattering dress and I wasn’t disappointed.  The cowl neck has just the right amount of draping to it without make you feel too constricted like a turtleneck.  And this dress has pockets, which automatically made it one of my go to dresses for rest of the summer.  Did any of you get this dress during the #nsale?  If you didn’t you should still think about it.  The price isn’t bad at $38 and it comes in about 9 colors that include solid and stripe options to choose from as well.
