The Alessia peep-toes run true to size to a half size big, depending on how snug you want the fit. I am in between a 6 1/2 and a 7. Most of my heels are a size 7 with a quarter of an inch space at the back and it is the exact same with [...]

I purchased the Ringspun Licorice tee in Bright Tulip last week. It is not as pink as it appears online, it is more of an orange-pink- coral. The shade in fact, is nearly a perfect match for the henley and ruffle cardigan I have in Sweet Papaya.

The Licorice graphic is distressed and printed in [...]

About half of the women’s section of the catalog is new and the other half is previously released pics from the Holiday red catalog.

I made a quick stop at my J.Crew over the weekend. They did not have most of the new items I wanted to see yet. But I did get a chance to try on a couple of things…

Maisie ruffle blouse-This blouse is running true to size. It fit better in my usual size than [...]
