By now we've all lusted over J.Crew's 2010 fall look book. The styling of the collection is, in a word, perfection - right down to the artful excess of brooches adorning a menswear-inspired blazer. I'm never one to turn down a J.Crew bauble, but this season I'm taking it to eBay's variable collection of vintage jewels to recreate the look.

J.Crew just keeps turning out fab pieces, Jenna Lyons is a genius. I just hate how expensive things are! Their jewelry collaboration with Fenton Fallon had me weak in the knees.
ReplyDeleteJessica,
ReplyDeleteYou really found some wonderful ones here. It will be nice to have a unique piece amongst the J.Crew mass produced (yet lovely) ones.

I admit I wasn't sure how I felt about this when I first saw it a while ago... but it's definitely growing on me. I love the idea of a mix of feminine vintage brooches, but I think my personal style is a little more restrained. Gimme one huge sparkler and I'm a happy camper :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for enabling me further....I am now off to purchase everything you listed, lol....super great finds!!

ReplyDeletegah, i love the jcrew photo! great finds!
ReplyDeleteJ.Crew has really stepped it up over the last few years! Go Jenna! ;)
ReplyDeleteLoving your ebay finds Jessica! The best part of vintage is that you won't see someone else wearing the same piece. And the price of course. :)
