OOTD w/ J.Crew Potpourri Scarf

We met some friends out for dinner Friday night and I actually had some time and the energy to put an outfit together (which is rare).  I've been wearing only dresses lately due to heat and the fact that ANYTHING around my waist is extremely uncomfortable right now, but I got some new size Large leggings from Forever21 that are super comfy, so I decided to give them a shot!


Grey Short Sleeve Cashmere Blend Cardigan: Ann Taylor
Black Knit Cropped Leggings: Forever 21
Long White T-Back Tank: Liz Lange for Target
Watercolor Potpourri Scarf: J.Crew
Skinny Black Patent Leather Belt: J.Crew
Cobblestone Bracelet in black: J. Crew


And, yes, we're still cookin'...

Thanks for stopping by!

Meeting Madewell - J.Crew's Sister

*First off, I updated my post on the J.Crew Cobblestone Bracelet with IRL pics per a readers request... check it out {here}.*

I stopped into a Madewell for the first time while visiting the in-laws in LA last year and wasn't impressed.  However, I'm not sure what I was even looking for and I'm kind of a JC snob, so I might not have given it a chance.  My gut feeling is that my little sister, who is 6 years younger and still in college, would have liked the store better.  Anyway...

I was browsing some other blogs and ran across some pics of Madewell's New Arrivals online and had to check a couple pieces out!   Here is what I ordered...

Love love love the stripes on this.  Not sure how the fit is going to be, but I ordered it in a Small based on size charts (and my normal size)  This also comes in light-colored stripes, as well. Appears this is selling out quickly online.


This is black, also comes in a tan called 'cement'.  Thought I would give this a try since I needed to hit the $100 mark for free shipping.  Got this in a Small, too.   What I REALLY want is a black or charcoal leather jacket that looks like this... but this is more in my budget and baby-friendly right now!  Black is now backordered through August.


My got my "order shipped" email yesterday, so if they're shipping is like J.Crew's, I should be getting this shipment today.  I'll re-post the actual items when I get a chance to try them on!  I've got a baby-doc appointment today and a bachelorette party tonight for a cousin who is getting married on Saturday!  Busy busy busy!

Anyone else ordered from Madewell or shop there regularly?  Seen these to items IRL? Sizing help?  Thanks!

J.Crew Crystal Cobblestone Bracelet: Don't Miss This! *Updated with IRL Pics 6/24/10*


Comes in black, brown, citrus and maybe some in-store only colors


Quick post today.... and no IRL pic because my wrist always looks boney and weird! 

Anyway, I was at JC last night and picked this bracelet up in the brown color.  Don't miss this piece!!  You know I hardly ever pay FP for anything, but this I had to have right away!!  Why?

One, this color will go with everything!  I can use it to go with gold jewelry, as a brown, or just a neutral.  Also, stretch bracelets are the bomb ... easy to put on and take off without assistance! (because, honestly, no matter how advanced he is, a 2-year-old is no help with a jewelry clasp!)  Plus, the bracelet fits relatively snug on my tiny wrist, which is hard to find!

Bottom Line:  Great for all year ... and super easy to throw on!  Pick this up ASAP... maybe in two colors?!?  Love it! 

Thanks for stopping by!

IRL Pics per reader request...




See how it barely hangs off?  Great for little wrists!
