Holiday! Celebrate! (Cue the music...)


Brace yourselves!  It is a long one today!  But so, so necessary to discuss the amazingness of this Holiday concept at J.Crew!  I am downright festive, since seeing it earlier today!  Makes me want to jump right to Christmas decorations, and skip the rest of fall.  Insanity...I know...but it is that good!  The first pic is blurry, I apologize.  I swear, my hands were shaking from the excitement!  Let's examine, shall we?


This color block coat.  Enough said!  Love the navy and red against the oatmeal.  Love that it elevates jeans and a flannel, but is special enough to dress up.  Love it standing next to that, amazing shade of crimson, dress.  I love everything about it!  I'll take it!


So, the "family" wasn't fully dressed...quite fitting, I think.  But I adore this coordinated tree trimming family ensemble!  I'd swap the heels for a pair of riding boots, add a parka, and cut the tree down myself!  Love this new take on the flannel...so feminine!  And the necklace...Ah-Maze!  The kiddies are adorable too, although not fully finished layering, so don't judge!  I was too excited to wait!
                                                                                                                                        






My fave hat...still as focal as ever.  It is perfect with a lace party skirt.  And, who doesn't love a great buffalo plaid coat???
I have two already, so I'll probably have to pass on this spectacular peacoat.  But, word to the wise, it is red and navy (not black)...genius, I tell you!
The embellished collar boy shirt is a necessity for the fast-approaching holiday season...so grab one while they're available!


















                                           

This flannel and pearls vignette just screams football game in the south to me.  Live for the rugged pretty juxtaposition!  Destroyed boyfriend jeans and an amazing pair of suede Everlys...done and done!


I'm calling these the "New Years Girls."  Gorgeous neutrals and black with gold accents.  So chic and pretty!  And that tweed jacket is major!  It definitely falls into the "forever investment" category.  You will wear for. like. ever.






I was tentative toward this tribalesque sweater at first.  It seemed like it might be a bit much.  I've totally turned the corner on it now, though!  I'm going to wear it with the destroyed toothpick jeans (shown on right), and great weathered boots.  
And, speaking of the girl on the right, there is everything right about her outfit!  Layered jewels, cozy cashmere layering...and a navy blazer.
Perfection!






I couldn't resist this adorable girl!  Although it's unlikely that I'll ever "run out for coffee" in my boyfriend's boxers (more like absolutely never!), I love the mix of the menswear p.j. top and peacoat, and the cozy sock and shearling boots.  If I wasn't eternally freezing, I'd add a scarf and be out the door!  I'll swap out the boxers for leggings, and be nearly as cute!







And, because they deserve their own photo...these shearling boots!  I cannot think of one single thing there is not to love!  The suede is a gorgeous mink color...the buckle is cool.  And, did I mention?  They are lined in shearling, people!  These are decidedly more of a need, than a want!

More delightful hats...a winter necessity.
But, the sweater.  Could you die?  Bejewelled reindeer.  A little kitch never gets old during the holidays.  That's a fact!


As I headed further back in the store, the festive brights faded to a more neutral palette.  And that's when I spotted this cool girl.  The sweater was a sample, or I would have purchased instantly!  It is sweater perfection.  Love it paired with fluted mini, and the cozy sock/ankle boot combo.
I may be sensing a pattern here...
Love the Nobody's Perfect tee, and that wrap skirt is a wardrobe finisher for all!


I ended my festival of happiness on these softer hues.  The jewel detail on this pretty blush sweater is stunning!  Again, loving that it is paired with destroyed denim and a structured blazer.  No jewelry required here!  And the pop of coral on this gorgeous wool coat is fantastic when the weather turns daily dreary!
So, I'd love to say...that's it!  But, it isn't nearly!  There is still so much to see in this delivery!  Outerwear essentials, adorable Crewcuts and, perhaps, even some festive men's styles.
Stay tuned...
