I couldn’t really pretend that I wanted to go anywhere but J.Crew and Madewell whilst in New York recently. I like to stick to my rule of not buying anything on holiday that I could get back at home in London.
Luckily, they are almost next to each other on 5th Avenue. If J.Crew is the more formal, grown up brand then Madewell is it’s experimental and fashion driven little sister. I love both of their look books (linked above).
As part of the same parent group though, they do share great dedication to colour, simple basics, leather and denim that I love so much. I actually probably could have dropped a grand or more in J.Crew.
I restrained myself and went for a few carefully chosen items although I am really regretting not getting a striped shirt like the one right at the bottom. A cheeky post payday online order might be on the cards.
Two shirts in Neon Rose and Black Stripe
A bangle in Sweet Lemon
A popover shirt in Navy Stripe
