J Crew June Preview 2014

I won't be able to upload all the item infor right away, so if you have questions about an item, please just tell me the photo number here and which garment you're interested in. I like several pieces. Darn.

Love this chevron linen maxi. I think I'll go for this instead of the red. I might also try sizing down in the maxi, for a better fit at the bust.

It’s not officially summer until you break out the maxi. Lightweight and easy to wear, this no-brainer

linen dress is printed with chevrons to accentuate the column-like silhouette. Add a pair of comfortable sandals and simple accessories, and you’ll be ready for a weekend at the beach.

We designed this Sheer-sleeve Crepe Sweater with a high-twist cotton and sheer sleeves, so it’s sporty yet refined. The Linen Drawstring pant will be your go-to all summer long. Lightweight and fuss-free, it looks just as good dressed up with high-heel sandals as it does with flip-flops at the beach.

·         Sheer Sleeve Crepe Sweater, A6145, $65

·         Linen Drapey Drawstring Pant, A7090, $69.50

The tassel necklace here is supposedly a stunner and $150/-; seersucker pencil skirt, which I quite like. This picture makes me want to be on holiday.

This is a necklace to get noticed in - colorful stones, shiny crystals and fluttery tassels make the Tassel Trim Necklace a total showstopper. The stripe-on-stripe print of this pencil skirt and tank provide the perfect contrast for the statement piece.

·         Tassel Trim Statement Necklace, A9254, $150

Eyelet sweatshirt

Pull on silk medallion print pant; cashmere stripe sweatshirt.

I adore this top. Chambray cap; some new version if destroyed BF jeans

2013 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award winners Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne are the creative designers behind Public School, a unique and precisely detailed menswear line they founded in 2008. The New York City natives draw energy and inspiration from their hometown and public school roots, finding a balance between tailored and cool. This vintage-inspired mesh tank has an old-school vibe and is finished with a shirttail hem, so it’s perfect for layering. We paired it with the tapered Public School Belmac Pant for a laid-back vibe we love.

A runner-up for the 2013 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award, Juan Carlos Obando debuted his first collection in 2008—beautiful yet uniquely easy gowns and separates. He brought his signature use of bold colors and fluid silhouettes and modern approach to evening wear to his exclusive J.Crew collection. Case in point: the slouchy-but-structured Gemma Sweatshirt with a luxe bohemian vibe (we’re obsessed).
