As I checked out the latest additions to J Crew's website I noticed that I was getting excited every time I saw a bit of sparkle on clothing...which tends to suggest that I've moved into "Christmas party mode"...don't worry, I'll try to contain myself, you won't be seeing twenty posts about Vegas showgirl style outfits.
The oddest part of this is that I rarely wear anything sequined or bejeweled...something which has, of course, no bearing on these seasonally induced feelings. Nor does the fact that the bedecked and bedazzled items that I love in pictures usually end up looking a little...well, cheap...in reality.
And so, as much as I love the shimmering-pool-of-ink quality that their glitter cardigan brings to mind, I shall continue to remind myself that this is a seasonal affliction...like the common cold.

I'm going to NYC this weekend (just a nice random jaunt down the Metro North) to use the rest of the cards--wish me luck!
Oh, and another thing...why on earth is J. Crew so flipping overpriced? What is the deal there...seriously.
i can totally relate.
you need a line of defense. have some orange juice, get plenty of rest. go to the apc web site!

ellen - I've been wondering about their pricing recently as well. The pieces I showed are part of their "Collection" and the prices are high...well, sadly the norm for designer but high for J Crew.
