{J.Crew Goes Abroad}

As an American expat living in London, I am often asked “What do I miss most from the states?”  To this, I always answer, “Aside from my family and friends… bagels, Bud Light, and J.Crew.”  While I am able to curb my carb and beer cravings with chips and Guinness, my longing for J.Crew has steadily persisted.  The label is available at net-a-porter.com, but its stock is sparse, leaving me continuously unrequited – that is until now…

I am pleased to announce that as of August 2011, J. Crew is finally offering international shipping to the United Kingdom, Canada, and Japan – whoop whoop!  Now, in my fleeting moments of homesickness, when the autumn rain beats down upon my window and I remain sequestered in my flat, I can take comfort in being able to order myself a cozy Dream knit cardigan that I can cuddle up into, in 4-8 business days. 

Here are my top 10 most coveted J.Crew Fall 2011 finds. 

1.  Dream ribbed yoga cardigan – I love pieces that layer well and this looks so comfy.

2. Memo dress in Super 120s – This dress reminds me of Mad Men and I am mad about it, especially in the color peacock feather!

3. Biella patent loafers – Loafers are so practical yet so elegant, especially when they are shiny.

4. + 5. Herringbone vest and Farrow trouser – I love men’s inspired clothes – so very Marlene Dietrich!

6. No. 2 pencil skirt in vintage tweed – I adore how demure yet sexy pencil skirts can be.

7. Maisie dress in waterfloral – This pattern is so feminine and can be paired with almost anything.

8. Resin and crystal link necklace – The chucky chain design in a classic tortoise color is such a great contradiction piece.

9. Cowlneck poncho – I love the subtlety chic quality that the cowlneck lends this poncho.

10. Featherknit shirred henley tee – I can't have enough soft, drapey tees!
