Giveaway Day One: closed

One of my favorite things is when someone tells me they loved something on my blog so much they went and bought one and that they love it! Aren't all the best things so much more fun when you get to share them with someone?

Sooooooo... let me share one of my not so secret favorite things.

J.Crew.

I absolutely love J.Crew. Every time a new catalog comes it is all "ohhh hello lover" and then a little bit of folding every page and circling every piece and then a little dying over how much it all adds up to. But c'est la vie.

J.Crew looks great on everyone. Seriously now. I am not at all like the J.Crew models - all perfect skin and androgynous cool good looks. Nor am I simple and clean and chic in my styling. Yet, I love J.Crew. My mom loves J. Crew. My daughter loves Crewcuts, and if that isn't the three most polar opposite people all vouching for one company than I don't know what is!

I adore that I can go into J.Crew and walk out with a whole look, a cool piece, any number of basics and wardrobe staples, and some of the best jewelry and shoes. There is truly something for everyone.

So, now here comes the sharing part... I am going to share some of my favorite J.Crew pieces, and I have already shared my J.Crew secret  - I shop there and you should too. AND for the next three days while we talk J.Crew each day I am going to give away $100 gift card!

HURRAY!

Some examples of my love for J.Crew everyday!

Last week I went to a baseball game and wanted to look casual and stay cool in the hot weather. Everything I wore was from J.Crew, and I'd like to think that even though I am not typically a casual dresser it worked out ok!

I also find myself wearing a lot of J.Crew to work. From basic pencil skirts, button downs and silk tops, to just a fun pop of jewelry on a work dress J.Crew never lets me down!

 

This basic Ted Baker work dress wouldn't have been a complete outfit without the J.Crew necklace and matching bracelet!

J.Crew also jewelry has also gone with some of my fancier outfits as well. Last week for a dinner I wore one of my favorite DVF dresses and my newest J.Crew necklace for a more put together black and white evening ensemble. I told you - J.Crew stuff fits no matter what they occasion!

Now tell me... what J.Crew pieces would fill in the basic gaps in your wardrobe? Or what fun pieces would you pick to add a pop of color or jewels to your everyday outfits?
