Current J.Crew Coat Obsessions

I’ve been so bored with J.Crew lately, but with their recent new releases, new catalog, and grand opening of their online Factory store, they definitely got my attention again. Well, with Fall/Winter upon us, I’m starting to feel increasingly chilly when I walk out of work every afternoon. Having been caught in a few freezing freak thunderstorms lately, I’ve been super drawn to J.Crew outerwear lately. In fact, let me be frank. I’m obsessed. At about $300 a pop, I’m really going to have to make some tough decisions…

J.Crew Double-Cloth Bon Bon Coat

J.Crew Double-Cloth Bon Bon Coat

I have to be honest, I did not give this coat a second look when I first saw it. That’s probably because J.Crew has it in black in the stock photo and who needs another black coat? But when I opened the new J.Crew catalog and saw this pristine, stunning, angelic, elegant, pure white coat, I completely fell in love. Irrational? Yes. Totally impractical? Absolutely. But oh how much I would love to be wrapped up in this beauty. It would be such an elegant statement coat, so effortlessly stunning. Ahhh, what a beauty. So hard to resist.

Get it here from J.Crew for $325. Ouch.

J.Crew Stadium-Cloth Peacoat with Gold Buttons

J.Crew Stadium-Cloth Peacoat with Gold Buttons

You had me at “gold buttons.” I don’t know why so few designers utilize gold/brass buttons on outwear these days, but it really elevates any jacket/coat for me. Gives it that slight military edge. This coat not only has the crested engraved gold buttons but also looks amazingly fitted. Absolutely adorable. How cute would this be with houndstooth/tweed minis and boots? Yowza. Not going to lie, I squealed when I saw this coat. Who squeals these days? Apparently I do. For the right coat. Navy or gray? Navy or gray?? Ahhhh. It would extremely difficult to resist this one.

Get it here from J.Crew for $245.

J.Crew Stadium-Cloth Sasha Peacoat

Baked Squash is my pick of poison here. All I have (and probably most women out there) are boring black coats, mainly because they’re safe and match with everything. Yea “Baked Squash” would be harder to match, but that is why it would be a standout amongst the sea of black coats you’re sure to see this upcoming Fall/Winter. Pair this with a neutral mini like the Loft Chunky Tweed Mini, some cognac-colored leather boots, and you got a refreshingly adorable outfit. And if it’s not obvious already, I love the peacoat + chunky mini + boots combo for this season. Best part of the season, I say.

Get it here from J.Crew for $258.

J.Crew Coralie Cami

You’re probably sick of hearing about how much I love silk ruffle camis right? So I won’t go on and on about this one either. Coralie Cami from J.Crew. Saw a lot of great reviews in the blogosphere, which usually do not fail me. This one’s a winner as well.

J.Crew Coralie Cami

It’s very comfortable and true to size. A bit more gauzy than the slick, shiny silk ruffle camis I’ve been getting (i.e. Frances, Victoria, etc.). The light colors are slightly see-through. That’s probably the only flaw I can see in this beauty. If J.Crew had more colors in my size, I’d be all over every color I can get my hands on.

I’m loving the pale colors lately. Very soft and feminine. Love this look for Fall/Winter – throw on a fluffy scarf and you will look (and feel) cozy as can be. Mmmm.

Get it here on sale for only $39.99.

J.Crew Flower Sketch Tee

Happy Friday!!! Man, this week could not have felt longer, despite it being a shorter week. I’m so relieved and overjoyed that it’s the weekend. Finally. I’m off to see Resident Evil tonight, so I’ll just post a quick review of the Flower Sketch Tee I picked up from J.Crew.

J.Crew Flower Sketch Tee

I’m a huge fan of the slub cotton tees from J.Crew. I know people have complained about their tees being of thin and terrible quality, but for me that only applies to their tissue tees. Their slub cotton tees fit so well and always look very cute and flattering. Surprisingly, the only tees I own are the Vintage Cotton V-Neck Tees from J.Crew (aka slub cotton tees) and the adorable Max and Molly Tee, so I figured I can probably benefit from a few more tees. They’re so easy to wear and a basic in anyone’s wardrobe really.

I like this tee a lot. It fits comfortably and is true to size. I can see it being very versatile and a great neutral graphic tee, which isn’t commonly the case with graphic tees these days. Apparently the print was hand drawn by one of the J.Crew designers and then later bedazzled with sequin clusters. Pretty cute, especially at this low price. Definitely recommend.

Get it here from J.Crew on sale for $24.99. Happy weekend everyone!
