J. Crew New Arrivals Picks

A couple of days ago J. Crew posted new arrivals on their website and found quite a few favourites among them. One of them is the Indigo Gauze Popover. Made of cotton, the gauze is a thin indigo voile. It looks great up close.

Collection Embellished Crepe Blouse reminds me of the Double-Stripe Crepe Blouse I got last year. This one is made of silk and the embelishment is beaded. I would love to see the 'ivory' version.

Merino-Cotton Tunic Sweater in 'ruby' is already on my list.I love the wool & cotton mix, usually (I find this mix quite warm, actually) and the length of the sweater.

XOXO Tee - how cute is this?

Drapey Chino Pant in both colours should be great for spring and summer. The material is cotton and a lighter, drapier weight. The waistband is stretch elastic and should make them extremely comfortable to wear.

Ryder Pants were already seen in my previews post with the sneak previews. They are cotton/nylon with a hint of stretch, making them comfortable to wear as well. They also come in four (4) beuatiful colours.

Pencil skirts are my favourite, and I am glad J. Crew didn't disappoint. The Zip Pencil Skirt comes in five (5) beautiful colours. 'Radiant orange' and deep blue are my favourites.

New Uptown Tote Bag was also shown in the sneak previews. The 'bright flame' and 'neon azure'   are gorgeous.

And lastly, the Downing Hobo Bag, which is much larger in real life than it seems.

Madewell New Arrivals Picks

New arrivals were posted on the Madewell website today, and this evening I had the chance to pick out my favourites. First of all, I have been missing the flare jeans lately. I have a very old pair from J. Crew which are a bit worn out, and the Flea Market Flares in Carl Wash would be a great replacement for them.

Quilted Drawstring Jacket is exactly my kind of casual jacket: quilted, in a khaki colour and machine washable. I love this piece!

The other outerwear item I like is the Travel Trench Coat. I love the shape and the storm flap on this coat.

The McCarren Tote in 'ground paprika' looks adorable. I love Madewell totes, and this one seems another good choice.

The Glasgow Satchel in Washed Leather also come in a pretty, colourful version called 'red spark.' There is also a small Twin-Pouch Crossbody in Washed Leather that comes in the same colour.

As readers here may already know, I love bracelets and Madewell jewelry in general, and the Metalcraft Bracelet is on my wishlist.

Lapis Pivot Ring also seems like an interesting piece.
