torture via j.crew

I try to be good...I really do.  j.crew makes it way too hard...


the ruffles and the denim...too perfect...



never did I think I would want striped shorts and a skirt with tennies....



these have me rethinking my shorts hiatus....

I am using this post as a way to satisfy my urge to whip out the card...you should and then tell me all about it...xo mrs. french

Jcrew is my go to place for the vast majority of my summer clothes. I love all of them. Today my straw bag with the flower on it came and I haven't stopped smiling since I opened that package. and it was really reasonably priced. I love their pearl bracelets. I can't stop talking, raving and blogging about Jcrew!!

J. Crew is my weakness. Total love there. I too am wanting that striped skirt. And many, many other things.

I know what you mean...it's been calling me and it's only 5 minutes from my house. NOT GOOD - I MUST hide that card! Maybe I should ask my 5 yr. old to hide it for me, then I'd surely never find it :)

I know, I know....I was actually a little bit grouchy looking at my catalogue today! ( hee hee) I thought " come on J. Crew! Do you HAVE to be so good? sheesh"
:) I hear you...

The "Crew" has been killing me this Spring. I'm on a non-spending kick & they are not helping at all! Ohhh..the ruffles!

nikole said...

oh, i loved the striped ones!

Lindsey said...

J.Crew is very dangerous. Your post is not helping my desire to splurge there. So far I have resisted!

OMG! The tan tee with gold necklace and stripped short are to die for...
Guess I need to pay J Crew a visit when I'm in the States!

Black said...

Oh, I absolutely love everything. The last one is so pure and perfect!

kim said...

jcrew IS my ultimate weakness. luckily they have some pretty good sales, but then there's always that risk of now finding your size. oh, and have you ever noticed how great a jcrew store SMELLS? i'm sure they must do that on purpose somehow :)

Taylor said...

I have had to start deleting J.Crew's sale e-mails the moment they hit my inbox...my husband told me I should cancel them altogether if its that big of a struggle but I can't bare to part with my dear J.Crew....:)

nichole said...

Shorts are the source of a contentious debate here in the NYC region. To most, they are an absolute no-no. But then you see a gorgeous leggy model trotting around in them and you want to curse the unwritten rule.

mkendall said...

I know exactly how you feel. Every time a new j.crew catalog comes in the mail I get both excited and upset at the same time. I just need to be rich.

Elizabeth said...

yes, I know the feeling. I try to put the catalog in the recycle bin immediately but it works so well for vision boards that I usually *must* bring it home with me. ;)

Bonbon Oiseau said...

i'll tell you what's funny my friend, i was JUST looking at the JC catalog and thinking i would do a blog post that just said: WTF J.CREW? What's up with all this damn prettiness making me just want want want?

pam@pixelimpress said...

Carla said...

i've got the grey ruffled sleeveless top. wore it this weekend with jeans and flip flops - weekend beach getaway. so many compliments. me happy, comfy, cool and chic. but yes curses j. crew because i just can't get enough of you!!!!

BEPOPULAR said...

some of the tops that they're making aren't too expensive. I have the first two tops and the linen striped skirt and absolutely love them all!

carrieitly said...
