alaina's notebook: j.crew shopping list

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

Tonight I'll be venturing to the J.Crew on Michigan Avenue for a private shopping party with some of my favorite Chicago ladies. Read: this could be dangerous. To reign myself in from completely exploiting the 20% discount we are being offered, I've narrowed my wish list down to a few fun pieces for fall, inspired by the colorful prepster look warn by Miss Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific. I mostly need tops, so this mix of color, pattern, and sequins is right up my alley. Yes, mustard silk blouse, in a few hours, you will be mine. I've wanted a leopard-print belt for forever and a day so that might finally make its way to the checkout register, and while I probably won't get them, how fantastic are these ankle-zip skinny corduroys? Who would have thought cords could be sexy? Leave it to Jenna. Making the impossible possible.

i have those cords in black and they are the best, most comfortable pants i've ever purchased! totally recommend them. they complete any outfit, and i love that they even make my plain v-neck tees look stylish.

Ahhh jealous!! That store is just too good to pass up, especially the Michigan Ave one! I'm with you, that silk blouse is so pretty! Definitely a piece that can go for multiple seasons. Lucky you!
