The hardest part about attending the fall fashion shows in February is that you want to be able to immediately buy and wear everything you see on the runway. This is especially true at J.Crew. I loved the coats, bags, shoes, sweaters, and pretty much everything. To quote Veruca Salt, “I want it NOW”! But […]
The “fashion flu” strikes almost everyone who attends the shows and my time has come. I’m taking the night off to rest but will be back tomorrow with more NYFW coverage and some non-fashion related news. Until then, I’m leaving you with one of my favorite looks from the Fall 2013 J.Crew presentation yesterday. That […]
After four days of lovely weather in San Francisco, this grey Monday is a little depressing. I’m not ready to be back in boots and tights and coats. As I’ve mentioned before, my winter wardrobe consists of various shades of grey. It looks less harsh than all black but plays nicely with almost all other […]
This week, I’m headed to San Francisco for a little sightseeing and another book signing. I can’t wait to catch up with my friend Grant K. Gibson and see recently transplanted New York designer Allison Caccoma in her new city. I look forward to seeing Caitlin Flemming of Sacramento Street and meeting all my blog […]
While it’s fun to look at all the fabulous shows during fashion week, let’s face it, most of us will be shopping at J.Crew come spring. The ladies side of the presentation was full of fun patterns and prints mixed with abandon. I’m seeing a lot of pale pink and green on the runways and J.Crew […]
Yesterday was my last full day of fashion week and I decided to go out with a bang. I wore a black dress to the Harper’s Bazaar breakfast but when everyone else went off to Michael Kors show, I decided to go shopping for a new afternoon outfit. I headed over to the J.Crew Collection […]
Everyone has heard the rule that you can’t wear white after Labor Day. Rules are also meant to be broken. I don’t think it’s appropriate to wear summery white clothes or anything linen after Labor Day but a little white can be fine. If you are going to break the rules, I suggest pairing white […]
I’ve already started shopping for fall and J.Crew was one of the first places I hit. I not only love their clothes but there always chic advertising. The new “We Know You’re Out There” campaign for fall features some favorite street style subjects and a few fabulous unknown people. I especially love the always stylish […]
I’m going to have to check and make sure I don’t have a fever that’s making delirious. Normally, I hate anything cutesy and would definitely not be caught dead wearing anything with hearts on it. That being said, I’m kind of loving the heart throb print at J.Crew. I was in the Collection/Bridal store on […]
My Christmas tree was delivered yesterday and it’s definitely starting to look a lot like Christmas. The weather forecast is even calling for snow! While I decorate my tree and the rest of my apartment, I’m leaving you with these festive images to help get you in the mood. Happy Holidays! via Atlantic Pacific Elle […]
I’ve had the minty color of the coat above that Tommy Ton photographed during fashion in my head for weeks. I used to associate it more with spring but I’m loving it all year long now. J.Crew has many pieces in this chic color in their new catalog so now we can easily add it […]
Since we’re in the dog days of summer, I figured why not post some real dogs. My favorite features on 770 Behind the Line: The (un) Official J.Crew Blog are the Pet Portraits. J.Crew employees are photographed by Charity De Meer with their precious pooches and the results are beyond adorable. Bon Weekend! Photos by Charity […]
I happened to be shopping at J.Crew over the weekend. (What else is new right?) While flipping through the new catalog I came across Part III of their Made in Italy series. It was especially interesting because it dealt with their trip to Ratti and Canepa mills in Como, Italy and perfect timing since I […]
SURevolution has collaborated with J.Crew to produce eight hand-made sisal bags in the Kathuma Village in Kenya. SURevolution is a company that believe in creating sophisticated products for the luxury market that honor artisans’ traditions, craftsmanship and our natural resources. J.Crew looks at each of their collaborations very carefully but Marissa Webb, Head of Women’s Design, was […]
A few readers asked about the coral colored lipstick from the J.Crew Spring 2011 presentation. It is Heat Wave from Nars. I’d start stocking up now because it looks like it’s going to be the hot color for next year!
Just so my male readers don’t feel left out, here is a lookat J.Crew men’s spring 2011 preview. The collection was inspired by the pastel colors of artist Cy Twombly and landscape painter Windslow Homer. Frank Muytjens and the design team visited Prouts Neck, Maine and were inspired by the color of the sea. Looks […]
I’m off to an early drapery installation but I’m leaving you with a sneak peek at the Spring 2011 looks from J.Crew. Big thanks to new President Jenna Lyons and the head of Women’s Design Marissa Webb for putting on a fabulous show. I’ve already picked out what I am dying to wear so let […]
