Infatuated with J Crew Spring 2009

I am so in love with J Crew's spring collection. I want one of everything, but since I'm not independently wealthy, I'll have to settle for none or maybe 1 or 2 things (since I know I've already purchased some other things that were such good deals, I couldn't pass them up).

Statement Necklace

Sunray necklace - $150
Would it be wrong to spend the majority of my shopping budget on this gorgeous statement piece? I'm thinking it could be a good investment if I can use it to dress up a lot of my spring '09 outfits. With this baby, you can make a T-shirt look fab!

Girly Top

Viscose ruffle-sleeve tank - ON SALE - $29 (from $42)
Besides cardigans, my other clothing staples are tank tops. I don't like sleeves, so cute tank tops are a must for me! This one, with the adorable ruffles, is a winner and the price doesn't hurt. Hmm...Maybe I should hit up the mall today before this baby gets snatched up?

Bright Bottom

Metallic-silk mini - ON SALE - $58 (from $78)
I feel like I'm finally getting my staple bottoms down, so now it's time to play. I normally don't do orange in my wardrobe (I have nothing against it, it's just not the first color I'm drawn to) but there's something about this skirt that I simply love!

Cutesy Cardigan

Cotton-cashmere ruffle cardigan - $68
Ahh...cardigan...my love. I don't have any...wait...I only have 1 short-sleeved cardigan and this cutesy, ruffly one would make a great addition to my current cardigan collection. I also this this cardigan would look awesome with that sunray necklace I'm currently craving.

Perfectly Pastel Pumps

Joley patent-leather peep toes - $198
I think I've mentioned before, but J Crew is one of my fave brands for shoes - they are so comfortable. I have learned the hard way that only their round-toe or peep-toe shoes are comfortable for me, personally, because I have wider feet. How gorge are these baby-pink pumps!? Love them...want them...

Anthropologie Does Spring Tops for 2009

Oh, Anthropologie, why do you taunt me so with your beautiful Spring 2009 tops? Look what I found when I innocently browsed to Anthropologie in search of chic placemats:


Curl & Twirl Sweater - $88


Tivoli Scoopneck - $88


Remember Me Surplice - $98


Esja Blouse - $68

Maybe if I'm a good girl with my budget this month, I will treat myself to one of these feminine beauties?

Hills Star Whitney Launches Site/Clothing Line Whitney Eve

Ok, so I'm sure you've all heard that Whitney, from The Hills, is going to star in her own TV show, The City, a Hills-esque show based in NY, but did you hear the latest news?

I just read on JustJared.com that Whitney has also launched a new web site (click here for site link), which features her Spring 2009 clothing line, Whitney Eve.





The collection seems to feature the same fun, flirtatious and feminine style that Whitney has been known to wear herself. So far, so good. I can't wait to see more of her collection.

What do you think?
