Sure, they are also available in black, but a patent red slingback has definitive merits….

J.Crew Cabochon bouquet Cocktail ring

March 21, 2008 · 6 Comments

I’m really getting into J. Crew’s jewelry line of late – and the Cabochon bouquet cocktail ring caught my eye today. Around this time of year I start to really enjoy spring colors – greens, blues, tangerines, and who can overlook pink! This ring is really nice this time of year – the leaves aren’t out yet, but it’s still delicate and flowery – something to keep you until the flowers come out!

I have a beautiful Bosca purse that matches the lime color perfectly, so that’s probably why that color drew my attention – it kind of has a bit of a vintage jewelry look to it. Tidepool, the pool blue color, is a little more modern and fresh looking, but still looks delicate (come to think about it, I have a pool blue sweater it would be perfect for). and Bright Papaya, a bright rose, matches anything day to night. And that pink eyelet dress I have. Guess I’ll be getting all three. 🙂

Available at J. Crew for $65.

Things I Want: J.Crew Swiss-dot Fontana Dress

March 18, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I thought this dress was pretty on the J.Crew website, but as I walked past it in the store yesterday, I stopped dead in my tracks – unfortunately what is so beautiful about this dress can’t really be conveyed in a picture. The structure is so youthful and spring-like, and the waist nips in beautifully with a cross-over bodice.

Find it at J.Crew for $140

J. Crew Bangle Bracelets

March 16, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I was in J. Crew today and the bangle bracelets they have in their jewelry collection caught my eye. They are pretty on the website, but in person, they are really striking. I tend to stay away from bangles for some reason, but these may be the exception to my rule. Truly beautiful.

I’m headed back to J.Crew in a couple of days – I definitely want to spend more time looking through their jewelry section!
