Fall fashion is beginning to trickle in and wow — J. Crew’s new arrivals are a gold mine for the season ahead. Lots of fantastic denim pieces and heritage classics with a twist. I’m so glad they brought back this cableknit cardigan — I regretted not buying last year and it sold out in a minute. I just ordered the ivory. I get so much mileage out of chunky little cardigans like this; perfect for throwing on over tartan nap dresses, turtlenecks with high-waisted denim, etc. I am also contemplating this rollneck sweater in either the La-Ligne-esque stripe or classic navy. Note that J. Crew got in on the denim midi skirt game, too!

If you have a little lady at home, you must check out their new children’s-sized Emilie jackets. Beyond precious in the stripe!
I also wanted to note that J. Crew’s belted denim jacket is a great seasonal buy at a reasonable pricepoint. I’ve seen variations on this theme from so many retailers, from Gap to Veronica Beard!
P.S. If your children have totally interrupted your day, and you are flailing a bit — just remember that you’re where you need to be.
P.P.S. On getting started with writing — with crossover inspiration for starting any creative pursuit.
P.P.P.S. What are we reading next?
I’ve been getting ads for that white button down — I need it!!!
It’s adorable! xx
